Astounding Views, pool table, 14x28 private pool, hot tub, nice decks 4x4 bch

The pictures that show the blue sky and ocean don't show the additional living room furniture. The new furniture is shown in the pics we took on a grey day. ;-)
Finding Sandity, located on a semi-oceanfront lot on the 4x4 beach, has better "unobstructed" views than most oceanfront homes in the 4WD area. The 3rd level has a spacious open floor plan with kitchen, dining room, living room, and ships watch. There are plenty of windows in this lovely living area with multiple seating options. The king master bedroom off of the living room has access to the front deck with gorgeous ocean views and panoramic beach views. To the rear of the living area you will find a bonus room with a bunk set for the little ones.
The 2nd level has 3 full bedrooms, king with private bath and deck access, queen with private bath and deck access, a room with a duobunk (double bottom and twin top) and another twin bed, and a 4th bedroom that has been converted to a game room with a pool table and and brand new queen sleeper sofa and deck access. Fantastic views from this level mean sunrises can be viewed without even leaving your bed, but feel free to take the coffee out to the top level and enjoy that beautiful reflection of the sunrise over the ocean.
On the ground level you will find front and rear entry doors, fish cleaning table, outside shower and commode, and a park style grill. The new pool is located in the front next to the ocean!! The front yard has a dune dotted with sea oats that add to the charm of this well located home. Walk to the beach in less than a minute!!!!
Reserve this beautiful beach house now for one of the most relaxing beach vacations on perhaps the most beautiful section of the Outer Banks.

Family Vacation 2024
We really enjoyed our stay at this beach house! Being right on the beach was great and very secluded which made for a peaceful stay. We saw wild horses everyday and some came right up to the fence around the pool. The house was very clean and felt like our home away from home! Will plan on visiting again very soon :)

Family Vacation
My family and I stayed for a week to end our summer before the kids go back to school. The property was well maintained, had everything we needed and communication with the host was wonderful. Everything was exactly as described. The pool was such a great feature because one day the beach was just too hot to be comfortable and have the kids play. There were plenty of games and movies to also keep the kids entertained. We had an overall amazing experience at this property.

Wonderful stay
My family and I had a wonderful week at Finding Sandity. The house was exactly as advertised. The wild horses roamed freely and we seen them throughout the week. One day they literally came right up to the pool fence grazing. We also got to see sea turtle eggs being buried (the sea turtle volunteers moved the original nest due to the likelihood of survival, and a 5ft shark caught right in front of our house. We would definitely recommend this house and hope to be back soon in the future.

Outer Banks Stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: WE arrived at the proper time, 4 PM, just as high tide left. didnt releaize that you were stuck on the island from 10 AM until 4 PM from the tide covering the beach road. the home while the location is great if your goal is to beach full time, was a bit run down, not well kept but clean. Lots of sand and forget it if you dont come in 4WD truck/jeep. Wild horses were pretty cool. The hot tub was great but very dirty, didnt scare us, proba should have.

Loved the Location
Finding Sandity was a great vacation location for our family. Close to the beach, beautiful view, and we really enjoyed the pool and hot tub too. Driving 3 miles on the beach was a cool experience and caused us to enjoy the home and beach more. We look forward to vacationing in the Outer Banks again soon.

Perfect relaxing location
This was our second trip to the 4x4 area of Coralla where the beaches are beautiful and horse sightings occur daily. We greatly enjoyed the property and how large and comfortable it was. The new pool was very relaxing and the beach parking passes that were included came in handy. Laura was very easy to communicate with and promptly answered any questions we had. I would highly recommend this property!

Finding our sanity at Finding Sandity
Views were above and beyond our expectations. Listening to the waves from the master bedroom at night was wonderful! Proximity to the ocean second to none. The house met our expectations. We would definitely stay again and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for oceanfront at OBX.

Family Celebrations
Rented the week in October to celebrate our ten year anniversary with our family. It was a nice location, not too far down the beach, but down enough to see horses every day off the beautiful deck! We even got to see a full moon that week over the coast and enjoyed many beautiful sunrises together. Thank you for the much needed break! We had a great time!

Wonderful beach home,so much to enjoy
The house was beautiful. We did have trouble locating it as the mile marker for our turn over the dunes was absent. There were horses to enjoy watching every day but one, the upper deck was stellar for spending time sitting out, taking in the views, the walk to the beach over the dunes required energetic walking which was fun. We thoroughly enjoyed this whole experience.
