Nearest airport to Outer Banks is Norfolk International Airport. It is about a 2.5-hour drive to the house. If you are flying into Norfolk, be sure to rent a 4×4 vehicle to access the home.

The 4×4 area offers wide beaches, dense maritime forests, and marshy soundside. It is an 11-mile stretch of sand north of Corolla and south of the Virginia border, with no paved roads. A four-wheel drive vehicle is required. Guests drive on the beach and behind the dunes to reach the home. Wild horses are often spotted in the area — a truly unique experience!

Parking permits are required to park on the beach from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. You do not need a pass to drive on the beach or park at the house.

Passes are available online at this link. The current weekly pass is $50. Passes must be picked up in person after purchase.
