Common Questions

Before You Book

What vehicle do I need to access Fitzgerald & Hemingway?+

AWD or 4WD with at least 7.5" ground clearance is required. You'll air down your tires to 10–15 PSI at the free station at 1113 Village Lane — Corolla's last paved address. The estates sit 2.2 miles past the end of pavement on the exclusive 4×4 beach. Standard 2WD vehicles cannot access the property.

Can we host a wedding at the compound?+

Yes — Fitzgerald & Hemingway is one of the Outer Banks' premier wedding venues. Oceanfront ceremonies on the dunes, pool deck receptions at sunset, and 62 guests sleeping on-site. We work with experienced local vendors. Contact us to discuss your event and available dates.

Do the two estates have to be booked together?+

This page is for the compound booking — both estates together. Each estate can also be booked individually: The Fitzgerald (14BR, sleeps 30) and The Hemingway (14BR, sleeps 32) each have their own property pages. Contact us if you need guidance on which option fits your group.

What is the minimum stay?+

3-night minimum during most seasons. A 7-night minimum applies peak summer (June–August). Events and weddings may have different requirements — contact us for availability.

Is the compound pet-friendly?+

Yes — up to 3 dogs per estate (6 total for the compound). A $250 pet fee per dog applies. Please notify us at booking so we can prepare the properties accordingly.

Can we upgrade to The Three Authors?+

The Three Authors adds The Mark Twain to the compound — 46 bedrooms total, 102+ guests, 11 private oceanfront acres. It's the largest private oceanfront compound in the Outer Banks. Contact us to discuss availability and pricing for the full Three Authors configuration.

Why book direct instead of VRBO or Airbnb?+

Booking direct saves you platform fees of 10–15%, gives you direct access to our team for event planning and custom requests, and ensures the fastest response. For a compound of this scale, working directly with us is strongly recommended.
