📍

4×4 Beach Access

Corolla's wild 4×4 beach is one of the most photographed ceremony settings on the East Coast. Wild horses, uninterrupted Atlantic horizon, golden hour guaranteed.

What Clients Say

Wedding
★★★★★

"We couldn't have imagined a more perfect setting. Thirty of our closest people stayed in the house, we had the ceremony right there on the beach at golden hour, and the reception went until midnight. The LuxStay team made everything seamless."

Sarah & James P.Wedding · Summer 2024
Corporate Retreat
★★★★★

"Our leadership team came away from this offsite more aligned and energised than any retreat we've done in a hotel. Waking up together on the ocean, working through real decisions in that environment — it just works differently."

M. Harrington, CEOTech Company Offsite · Spring 2024
Family Reunion
★★★★★

"Sixty family members across three generations. Everyone from the grandparents to the toddlers had the time of their lives. The 14 bedrooms meant no-one had to leave — we had the whole weekend together under one roof by the ocean."

Common Questions

Before You Inquire

How many guests can The Fitzgerald accommodate?+

Up to 150 guests for events, with 30 sleeping on-site across 14 bedrooms. Guests beyond 30 typically stay at nearby properties in Corolla — our concierge can recommend and coordinate accommodation blocks.

Is there really no venue fee?+

Correct. You pay for the estate rental — that's it. There's no separate event or venue fee added on top. This is private estate accommodation, not a commercial venue, which is why it works differently (and more affordably) than a traditional event space.

Can I bring my own caterer, photographer and vendors?+

Yes — entirely. There are no in-house vendor requirements and no surcharges for bringing external suppliers. We can also connect you with trusted OBX vendors if you'd like recommendations.

What is 4×4 beach access and does it affect guests?+

Corolla's 4×4 beach requires four-wheel-drive vehicles to access. We connect you with licensed shuttle operators who transport guests to and from the estate in 4×4 vehicles. This is part of what makes Corolla so special — and so private. We handle the logistics.

Is there a noise or music curfew?+

The Fitzgerald is on a private, secluded section of 4×4 beach with significant distance from neighbours. We ask guests to be respectful but there is no hard 10PM music cut-off that many traditional venues enforce. Discuss your event's needs with our team at inquiry.

How far in advance do I need to book?+

Summer weekends, holiday weekends, and peak fall dates book 6–12 months in advance. Off-peak weeknights can sometimes be booked with shorter lead times. We recommend inquiring as early as possible to secure your preferred date.

Can we combine The Fitzgerald with The Hemingway or Mark Twain for larger events?+

Yes — all three estates together form the Three Authors compound, which can host up to 100 guests on-site across 46 bedrooms. This is ideal for very large weddings, retreats or multi-family reunions. Contact us to discuss compound bookings.

Why book direct instead of through an OTA?+

Booking direct saves you OTA platform fees of 10–15%. You also get direct access to our event concierge team, priority support, and the most current availability. Call 304-902-6504 or use the inquiry form below.
