What this place offers
· Trusted by 40+ groups
The ceremony on the dunes with the Atlantic behind us. The reception on the pool deck at golden hour. 60 of our closest family and friends, all sleeping on-site. I have never seen a venue like this — LuxStay executed every detail flawlessly.
62 family members, four generations, four days. Two pools every afternoon, the 20-seat cinema every night, great-room dinners none of us will forget. We've already reserved the same two weeks next summer.
A 3-day executive retreat for 50 leaders. Cinema for morning presentations, cocktail bar for evening sessions, pool deck for the closing reception. Our team is still talking about it a year later.
Two estates, one family, every generation under the same sunrise. The kids lived in the pools; the adults never left the great room. The wild horses at dawn sealed it.
Where you'll be
Reachable only by the four-by-four beach — no through roads, no traffic, no tourists. Wild Corolla horses walk the dunes at first light. Sunrise over the Atlantic. Sunset over the Currituck Sound. The four-by-four is the address.
