Baby Grand Piano
& Cocktail Bar Combined
Hemingway & Mark Twain is a 32-bedroom oceanfront powerhouse on 6 private acres of Corolla's exclusive 4×4 beach. The pairing brings together the Mark Twain's extraordinary Level 2 event floor — baby grand piano, vaulted ceilings, panoramic Atlantic views, dining for 40 — with the Hemingway's cocktail bar and lounge, Captain's Library, 12-seat cinema, and 14 en-suite king suites. The result is a compound with no equal on the Outer Banks for large-scale gatherings.
Together the two estates deliver dual gourmet kitchens, two private heated pools, two 8-person hot tubs, two private elevators, and 72 guests sleeping on-site across 32 bedrooms. The baby grand piano anchors evening entertainment. The cocktail bar is the perfect after-dinner retreat. And when morning comes, wild Corolla horses roam the shoreline just beyond the dunes.

What Guests Say
"The baby grand piano during dinner, 70 guests, the Atlantic at golden hour through floor-to-ceiling windows. Then drinks at the Hemingway cocktail bar. I have not stopped talking about this compound since we left."
"32 bedrooms, 72 family members, and not one logistical headache. The piano room, the cinema, two pool decks — the scale of this compound is something you simply cannot replicate anywhere else on the OBX."
"Cocktail hour at the Hemingway bar, full cinema presentation in the morning, and a piano room dinner that our executives still talk about months later. The compound performs at the highest level."
