The Hemingway
Combinable with The Mark Twain and The Fitzgerald.
Cocktail bar lounge
A dedicated full cocktail bar lounge on the entertainment level — wet bar, lounge seating, and direct access to the pool deck. The gathering spot after a sunset beach walk.
Captain's Lookout Library
A paneled library and reading room perched at the top of the estate, with 180° panoramic Atlantic views. The most dramatic room in the Three Authors compound.
Five spa whirlpool suites
Five master suites with private spa whirlpool soaking tubs — built for couples and milestone groups. A private home theater rounds out the entertainment level.
The Hemingway sits on three private acres of Corolla's four-by-four beach. Fourteen bedrooms. Three levels. Sleeps thirty-two. A heated oceanfront pool and hot tub anchor the deck.
The Captain's Lookout Library — paneled, top-floor, 180° Atlantic views — is the room guests photograph first. A dedicated cocktail bar lounge sits on the entertainment level beside the private home theater. Five master suites have spa whirlpool tubs. Fifteen full baths. The Hemingway is the adventurer's estate of the Three Authors compound.
Combine with sister estates
The Hemingway stands alone, or pairs with The Mark Twain, The Fitzgerald, or both. For groups beyond thirty-two.
What this place offers
· Trusted by 40+ groups
Twenty-six executives, three nights. The Captain's Lookout Library was where we held the off-site sessions — 180° Atlantic views and the kind of quiet you can't find at any hotel. The cocktail bar carried the evenings.
Three generations, thirty people. The five whirlpool suites meant the adults each had their spa moment. The private elevator made the entire stay accessible for my parents. Wild horses on the beach at sunrise. We'll never forget it.
We chose the Hemingway for the Captain's Library — and it was even better than the photos. Two couples, four nights, a celebration that felt like a retreat. The cocktail bar at sunset is the brand promise delivered.
My father's 70th. The home theater hosted his favorite films one night, the Captain's Library hosted the cigar conversations the next. Every detail considered. The Hemingway delivers what its name implies.
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.
