The Venue Your Clients Dream About.
Your clients want more than a room with chairs. They want an experience worth talking about. LuxStay USA's three literary estates — The Fitzgerald, The Hemingway, and The Mark Twain — give event professionals a genuinely rare card to play: private, oceanfront, and completely theirs for the duration. Combinable into the largest luxury compound in the Outer Banks, these properties have hosted weddings, executive retreats, incentive trips, milestone celebrations, and brand activations since 2016.
Four Reasons This Works for Your Practice.
Entire Estate Exclusivity
No hotel lobbies, no strangers, no shared ballrooms. Your client's group has complete private possession of the property — every bedroom, deck, pool, and inch of oceanfront access.
Branded Event Narratives
Each estate carries a literary identity — Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Mark Twain — giving every event a built-in story and design language your clients can own from the moment they read the proposal.
Curated Vendor Network
Caterers, photographers, florists, AV teams, wellness facilitators — we've done the vetting. Your planning timeline shortens and your client's experience becomes more cohesive.
Dedicated Event Coordination
Our on-property coordinator works alongside your team from the first inquiry through post-event follow-up. You lead client strategy. We handle the ground logistics.
Three Estates. Three Event Identities.
Each estate has its own character, client archetype, and event DNA. When you understand which estate fits which client, the pitch practically writes itself.
The Fitzgerald
Named for F. Scott Fitzgerald. This estate channels the Jazz Age — oceanfront elegance where artists, thinkers, and decision-makers gather. Built for clients whose event must feel like a moment in history.
The Mark Twain
Mark Twain represents curiosity, wit, and the joy of great adventure. Matched to OBX's wild coastline — the largest of the three estates, built for groups who want to move, bond, and come home changed.
The Hemingway
Hemingway represents solitude, substance, and the clarity that comes from stepping away. For executive groups who need a complete reset — and planners who specialise in meaningful transformation.
Where the Atlantic Becomes Your Backdrop.
Three Experts. One Recommendation.
We asked three experienced event professionals — spanning corporate meetings, incentive travel, and association events — to share how they position LuxStay estates when their clients are ready for something extraordinary.
When a client tells me they want their leadership team to actually connect — not just sit through another hotel workshop — The Hemingway is my first call. There's something about removing people from the familiar that opens up the conversations that actually matter. My clients leave talking about it for years.
I specialise in incentive travel, and my clients expect the unexpected. LuxStay gives me a card most planners can't play — an entire private estate on the Atlantic, with a name that already tells a story. The Fitzgerald photographs beautifully and gives high performers the feeling they've genuinely arrived somewhere special.
Association boards are notoriously hard to impress — they've seen every hotel meeting room on the East Coast. When I brought our board to The Mark Twain, the change in energy was immediate. The ocean does what no agenda can. We accomplished more in two days than in the previous two annual retreats combined.
