Always arrive before dark because the beach is more difficult to navigate at night. We recommend lowering your tire pressure to 15-20 psi so bring a tire pressure gauge along. Tires can be re-inflated at any of the area gas stations or the county put in FREE air stations at the Historic Corolla Park, 1100 Club Road, Corolla. The Park is on the sound side of the road. Turn in at the park road, make a right at the stop sign and another quick right into the gravel parking lot. The air up stations will be at the end of the lot. Check area tide charts prior to arrival. Low tide is ideal for beach driving. Follow all posted speed limits (35 mph or 15 mph when within 300 feet of pedestrians or wild horses). Drive on the hard-packed sand near the edge of the water or close to the dunes. Leave the middle of the beach available for parked vehicles. Drivers must be 16 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license. ATVs are not permitted. Also, Currituck County does not allow personal motorized watercraft on the ocean. Jet skis and personal motorboats are allowed on the Currituck Sound. The closest boat ramp is located at the Whalehead Club in Corolla. Due to shallow water and grass, this ramp is suitable for small craft only. For more information regarding Currituck County's rules and regulations, please contact the Currituck County Chamber of Commerce.

This is the absolute best large home to stay at when visiting Corolla!!!
Our large family had a wonderful time staying here. There was plenty of room, the beautiful home was very clean and it is the best location with sightings daily of the beautiful wild horses and dolphins. Marissa is a very courteous responsive host and we are definitely visiting again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Family Vacation 2023
Great location, house was perfect for large families to stay together. A little disappointed in the cleanliness upon arrival, notified the owner, felt like she was more defensive than considerate regarding us making her aware. We did see horses every day we were there, on the beach, as well as around our property. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time there, and would go back.

Awesome oceanfront house - great for a big group!
There is plenty of room in this house for several families to have a fantastic week. We drove onto the beach in the morning and set up tents but we could easily walk back and forth over the dunes throughout the day for potty breaks or lunch. The pool was perfect. We loved the hot tub. We ran into a few small things but the property manager was very quick to respond and remedy anything that came up! Definitely recommend!

Four Seasons was an awesome place to stay for our first OBX vacation.
We had no issues with renting and all Instructions were very clear. The house was clean and fully stocked with all your houseware needs. Location was perfect to walk back and forth from beach. Kids enjoyed the pool and adults enjoyed the hot tub. So many spots to chill and watch the sunset and rise. Game Room was a fun hangout.We plan to come back and would stay at the Four Seasons again.

Best place we've ever stayed!
Property was exactly as pictured! Horses hung out in the yard, driveway and carports every day! Property was in the perfect location and Laura and Jim were great. My family and I agree that it was the best vacation we've ever taken together; and that's out of 30 years of beach vacations! We can't wait to go again! Thanks for a great time and sharing your beautiful home with us. The McCrackens

Salted Dunes
The house and the location was just as described. The house was spacious and very homey. We had never stayed in the 4x4 area before and the experience will be talked about forever. We had a small wedding on the beach and it was beautiful. So thankful for memories made at the Salted Dunes OBX. I recommend this home to everyone who wants to have a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of life and enjoy the solitude of salt air and sands in your toes.

Awesome
We came on an extended family vacation (infant, parents, cousins, grandparents). The house had everything we needed, aside from some kitchen basics (salt, pepper, oil) but we were able to easily purchase those at the food lion. We had plenty of space for everyone. The beds were comfortable and the view was amazing. It was a short drive up the beach and the beach parking was always available close to the house. The parking passes made it very convenient to bring our gear back and forth to the beach. On the choppier/windier days, lounging by the pool was perfect. As we only had 1 4x4 vehicle, it made for a few trips up and down the beach. I would highly recommend a thorough shopping trip on the way in! We will definitely be staying again!

Awesome stay in the OBX
This was our first time to stay on the 4x4 beach. It was an amazing place and the house was perfect for our needs. There were a few little things in that there were items left by the previous clients, dirty beach towel, empty boxes in the hallway downstairs, and items left in the refrigerators. These were all very minor issues and overall, the house was extremely comfortable and worked very well for our family. We had 13 people with 7 children aged 2 months to 14 years old and there was plenty of space for everyone. The house offers incredible views and the lookout spot on the dune was perfect for family photos. The owner did an exceptional job of getting back with me quickly when we had questions. They seem to be freshening up everything on site and it shows. I would highly recommend this property and this owner. Thanks for a great vacation!

Ocean, beach and horses! Oh my!
We are a three generation family, who enjoy a yearly vacation together, this was the ideal home for us. The kitchen was well stocked, with everything we needed to fix large meals, the bedroom setups worked perfectly for us, the game room offered entertainment and the pool was convenient, clean and relaxing. Not to mention the incredible experience of watching the magnificent wild horses who walk passed the property every day. We had so many concerns prior to arriving concerning covid 19 and necessary restrictions, precautions etc. not to mention a hurricane threat. Property manager Laura with Carova cottages, was GREAT in supplying all the necessary info and support we needed. Throughout our stay she was a phone call away. We would definitely recommend renting this beautiful home to anyone who would feel comfortable being beachfront, with lots of privacy, in a natural setting, surrounded by remarkable wildlife.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the best time at a Four Seaons! Laura with the management company was so great through out the process. The owner had called prior to our arrival to make sure we knew about the house and see if we had any last minute questions. The house was super clean and the kitchen was fully stocked and newly renovated. The hot tub was located on the second level so we were able to see the ocean from it. The house was just a short walk away from the beach, and the views were incredible. The 4x4 area was such a great location, the beach felt like you had it all to yourself. We saw the wild horses almost every day without even looking for them. We had a great time and will definitely stay at the Four Seasons again!

Amazing views with horses, too!
The property was amazing, and we saw horses every day. We watched the sun rise every morning from our bedroom balcony. The pool was very clean and comfortable. The host was great to deal with, very communicative, and she resolved a few issues we had with the iron in the water. She went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. We did not read the listing as carefully as we should have, and found that several amenities were lacking (kitchen towels, trash bags, paper towels). Bring your own frying pans, spices, dish detergent (including dishwasher), and a towel or mat for drying. Otherwise, the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked. The beach was very nice, but heed the warnings about 4-wheel drive, and make sure to air down your tires as suggested. The drive in (on the beach) was soft-packed and difficult to traverse, especially at high tide, or after dark. We saw several people get stuck. This limited our willingness and ability to go into town. We had a wonderful vacation at Salted Dunes!

Disappointed
We arrived alittle early and went to beach at beach owner said we were early I told her traffic was quicker than anticipating. We stayed on beach until 4 . We finally entered home to sand and dirt on floors bathrooms had mold on shower curtains and mold in corners of bathtubs.We we’re getting ready to make dinner and found dried food on plates and pans .The views were beautiful but the posts in railings were loose and could be pushed by my 2 year old twins in many spots Nails were sticking and very dangerous for all of us. These things might not be major except the railings but the amount of money I paid was not small and definitely not worth it , Owner answered our concerns but not satisfied for the money paid. Very disappointed I lost both of my parents within a 3 month span of time and something special to celebrate their lives with my family.😢

Perfect Pandemic Paradise
My family was planning this vacation for well over a year. Then COVID hits and we were unsure of what was going to happen. This beach house was PERFECT. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of OBX and Corolla and all the amenities that we didn't even notice it! The pool was perfect for the younger children 4 & 7 and who's kidding here it was perfect for the whole family. We were a little surprised by how many people were on the beach being a 4x4 only area but it was not layers of people deep like you see at many beaches, and everyone was very respectful of distancing and we had vehicles separating groups. The house itself is gorgeous and the kitchen is large and could easily accommodate the 2 chefs in the family. There is plenty of space and loads of areas to find peace and quiet. I would definitely rent this house again and I never stay in the same place twice. The only issue as a first time sand driver we did have some issues with our vehicle getting "stuck". Thank goodness not to the point of needing a tow! And that southern hospitality was evident when we had not one but 2 residents come over to help us out. Five star all the way! Loved this vacation! We all really needed it. Thank you!

House DIRTY - Pool great!
Unfortunately, the house was dirty! The dishes, utensils, pans, etc. and their drawers were very dirty with dried food. The kitchen pantry was unusable due to the grime on the shelves and dirt on the floor. Under the couch was disgusting and the couches and chairs were too dirty to sit on (dirt, stains, trash and crumbs!). Some of the walls had cobwebs and tape on them. Shower curtains moldy. One dryer doesn't work. A TV in one of the bedrooms didn't work. The host was not informed of the dryer or TV - we didn't want to deal with having repair people there. They circuit breaker trips often. I have forwarded the host pictures and mentioned the safety of the wooden stairs (one board breaking). Hopefully for future guest this is resolved. The bathrooms were clean (except some curtains) The pool was fantastic! Be careful of nails sticking up on the pool deck though! We saw horses many times and the beach was great! We did have a fantastic family vacation! Please note a 4 wheel drive vehicle is a MUST!
