How to Get there?

Nearest Airport to Outerbanks is Norfolk International Airport . It is about 2.5 hours drive to the house. If you are flying into Norfolk, be sure to rent a 4×4 vehicle which will help you to get to the home.

What is unique about 4×4 area?

4×4 area has wide beaches, dense maritime forests and marshy sounside. This is 11 mile stretch of sand north of Corolla and south of Virginia border. A four wheel drive vehicle is required to explore this beach community, as there are no paved roads. It is an experience like no other. Once you are staying at our 4×4 beach property, you will drive on the beach and behind the dunes to access your vacation home. You will have an opportunity to observe the Corolla wild horses right in your backyard. This is just an Amazing experience.

Are passes required to drive or park on the 4×4 beaches?

Currituck County requires 4×4 parking permits to park on the beach beginning 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 home.

How do I purchase parking pass for parking on 4×4 beaches?

Limited amount of passes are available for purchase online at https://currituckcountync.ticketspice.com/currituckbeachparking. The current cost of weekly pass is $50. You will have to pick up your pass in person after purchase.

Suggestions for driving on 4×4 beaches? 

✅ We strongly recommend 4×4 or AWD vehicles with at least 7.5 inches of ground clearance.
✅ Bring a tire pressure gauge. Reduced tired pressure is critical to driving on the beach. Currituck County ordinance states that tire pressure cannot exceed 20 psi when traveling on the 4×4 beaches for vehicles weighing less than three-quarters of a ton, which is most vehicles. For vehicles weighing between three-quarters of a ton and one-ton, tire pressure cannot exceed 30 psi. Violators could receive a citation and a $50.00 fine. We strongly encourage your tire pressure to be 18-20 psi.
✅ Lower your tire pressure, prior to traveling to the North Beach Access ramp to the 4×4 beaches. No vehicle of any type may park or unload at the North Beach Access at any time. Complimentary air hoses are available in the parking lot of the Twiddy Corolla office for guests staying in the 4×4 area to re-inflate their tires.This office is next to Historic Corolla Park.
✅ Check the tide prior to arrival; low tide is ideal for beach driving: Outer Banks Tide Chart.
✅ Arrive before dark, as the beach is more difficult to navigate at night.
✅ The speed limit is 35 mph unless posted otherwise (15 mph when within 300 feet of pedestrians or wild horses). 
✅ Avoid driving through the surf and seafoam – salt water is extremely corrosive. Drive either on the hard-packed sand near the edge of the water or on the soft sand just east of the dune line. Leave the middle of the beach for parked vehicles and beach-goers. 
✅ All parked vehicles should be in the middle of the beach (east of the dune line and west of the hard-packed sand near the water’s edge). Do not block the flow of traffic with chairs, coolers, fishing lines, or any other items. Always be alert for moving vehicles when walking across the hard-packed sand. 
✅ There is no parking for the first approximately 1.5 miles of the beach. Look for the sign to mark where parking begins. Violators will be towed. 
✅ Drivers must be at least 16 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license. 
✅ Currituck County does not allow street legal UTV/side-by-side vehicles except by ATV permits, which are only available to Currituck County residents and property owners. North Carolina allows street legal UTV/side-by-side vehicles on roadways, however, the 4×4 beach is not a roadway, but a Public Vehicular Area controlled by Currituck County. 
✅Currituck County does not allow personal motorized watercraft on the ocean. Jet skis and personal motorboats are allowed on the Currituck Sound. The closest boat ramp is located at the Whalehead Club in Corolla.

Is there a Security deposit?

Yes, a hold will be placed on your card prior to check-in. This is not a charge, just a temporary authorization. The hold is released after our housekeeping team completes a post-checkout inspection and confirms no damages.

Do you charge an Event fee?

Yes, our event fees are designed to ensure a memorable and hassle-free experience for your special occasion.

✅ Flexible Timing: Celebrate at your own pace without the typical 2–3-hour restriction. We understand that planning a wedding, corporate event, or retreat can be complex. Our goal is to make the process as smooth as possible. Contact us to discuss your event details.

What is the event fee, what does it include and how is it different from regular rental fee?

The event fee differs from the regular rental fee as it covers the services and support needed for larger gatherings, like weddings or corporate events. It allows for up to 50 event-only guests and includes linens, towels, trash removal, and dedicated team support. As a vacation rental, we charge this fee to account for additional wear and tear, the presence of outside vendors, and the extra insurance we need to cover potential damages during events.
