Spend a luxurious week enjoying the beach, watching the wild horses graze and relaxing to the sound of the pounding surf from the well-appointed accommodations of 'Salted Dunes'.
Starlink Internet Always arrive before dark because the beach is more difficult to navigate at night. We recommend lowering your tire pressure to 15-20 psi so bring a tire pressure gauge along. Tires can be re-inflated at any of the area gas stations or the county put in FREE air stations at the Historic Corolla Park, 1100 Club Road, Corolla. The Park is on the sound side of the road. Turn in at the park road, make a right at the stop sign and another quick right into the gravel parking lot. The air up stations will be at the end of the lot. Check area tide charts prior to arrival. Low tide is ideal for beach driving. Follow all posted speed limits (35 mph or 15 mph when within 300 feet of pedestrians or wild horses). Drive on the hard-packed sand near the edge of the water or close to the dunes. Leave the middle of the beach available for parked vehicles. Drivers must be 16 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license. ATVs are not permitted. Also, 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. Due to shallow water and grass, this ramp is suitable for small craft only. For more information regarding Currituck County's rules and regulations, please contact the Currituck County Chamber of Commerce.

The host was very responsive and helped with information. The rental was clean, a little dated, but overall acceptable. There was so much room for people to spread out. We didn’t use the hot tub but it looked wonderful. The lid was off when we arrived so we left it that way, not knowing if they had done that for a reason.
Fantastic place - owners were excellent, very communicative. One toilet and one shower in separate rooms were not working. Not a big inconvenience. Air filters need replacing. Amazing location in OBX. Would love to stay here again.
Our family had an amazing vacation at this property. There is so much space for the entire family. The beach truly cannot be beat and the pool is a huge plus!
We had an amazing stay The house was great with pool and ocean views Dolphins swimming every day and a surprising visit from a half dozen horses Fantastic family vacation
This was our second visit to this property. It was perfect for our family and the home is more than adequately stocked with kitchen needs and linens. Highly recommend!
A perfect friend’s gathering for a week of celebration! The house was exactly as described online. The kitchen was stocked well with appliances and cooking tools! Bedrooms were all a great size and beds were comfy! We had no issues with the water. Loved the deck and enjoyed sitting on the deck on top of the dune! Perfect walk to the beach with gorgeous views of the beach!!! We will stay again!
There is plenty of room in this house for several families to have a fantastic week. We drove onto the beach in the morning and set up tents but we could easily walk back and forth over the dunes throughout the day for potty breaks or lunch. The pool was perfect. We loved the hot tub. We ran into a few small things but the property manager was very quick to respond and remedy anything that came up! Definitely recommend!
We came on an extended family vacation (infant, parents, cousins, grandparents). The house had everything we needed, aside from some kitchen basics (salt, pepper, oil) but we were able to easily purchase those at the food lion. We had plenty of space for everyone. The beds were comfortable and the view was amazing.
It was a short drive up the beach and the beach parking was always available close to the house. The parking passes made it very convenient to bring our gear back and forth to the beach. On the choppier/windier days, lounging by the pool was perfect.
As we only had 1 4x4 vehicle, it made for a few trips up and down the beach. I would highly recommend a thorough shopping trip on the way in!
We will definitely be staying again!
This was our first time to stay on the 4x4 beach. It was an amazing place and the house was perfect for our needs. There were a few little things in that there were items left by the previous clients, dirty beach towel, empty boxes in the hallway downstairs, and items left in the refrigerators. These were all very minor issues and overall, the house was extremely comfortable and worked very well for our family. We had 13 people with 7 children aged 2 months to 14 years old and there was plenty of space for everyone. The house offers incredible views and the lookout spot on the dune was perfect for family photos. The owner did an exceptional job of getting back with me quickly when we had questions. They seem to be freshening up everything on site and it shows. I would highly recommend this property and this owner. Thanks for a great vacation!
The house itself was very spacious and accommodating! The location was great, as it was right on the beach, just a very short walk over the dunes. It was so nice have our own pool right on the property. The downfall of the house is that it wasn’t very well cleaned. We arrived to a dishwasher full of the past guests dishes, along with the washer and dryer full of the past guests towels. The house was pretty dirty overall- bugs squished on the walls, couches caked with filth under the cushions, fridge dirty, etc. At the end of our stay we were instructed to remove the sheets from our beds and place by the washer but not the blanket or pillow shams, which to me implies they do not get washed regularly between guests. Just not what you expect when paying this kind of price. There was also very low water pressure, as only one person could shower at a time (although there was 6 showers). And at times there wasn’t enough water pressure to use any of the sinks or wash laundry. This could just be from being in the location it is though. Overall would rent there again if the cleaning was stepped up a notch! Owners were very pleasant and easy to communicate with.
We recently stayed at this beach rental and were excited about its prime location, which is undoubtedly its best feature. However, our experience was marred by several significant issues.
First and foremost, the water system had severe rust issues, which we discovered when our laundry came out stained with an orange hue. This problem extended beyond just the washing machine; even our swimwear was affected after being worn in the pool. The owner did send maintenance to address the issue promptly and provided a partial refund for the ruined items, which we appreciated. However, the compensation was minimal, and the owner’s dismissive attitude and lack of empathy left a sour taste.
The owner suggested that sunscreen interacting with the water was the cause, which implies future renters should avoid using sunscreen to prevent damage—an impractical expectation at a beach property.
Additionally, we encountered several other issues:
The cleanliness of the floors was questionable, leaving our bare feet dirty.
About half of the outlets did not work.
A light fixture was hanging from the ceiling in one bathroom.
While we managed to overlook these problems and enjoy the beach, the overall experience with the property and more so the host was disappointing.
I would advise future renters to be cautious, especially with laundry and swimwear. In other reviews, cleanliness seems to be a problem so perhaps a new cleaning company should be utilized.
This home is absolutely beautiful in a perfect location. It's clean with plenty of room. The views were breath taking. There were horses around the house every day and lots of shops and restaurants close by.
The owner was extremely friendly and responsive. The location of the house was perfect- gorgeous views of the ocean, dunes and wild horses. Having a pool was also great for the entire family. This property had the perfect layout.We will be back!
Beautiful home!!! Very well kept and clean. The location was everything you can dream of! Wild horses seen daily, gorgeous beach, great pool!!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!
This is the absolute best large home to stay at when visiting Corolla!!!
Our large family had a wonderful time staying here. There was plenty of room, the beautiful home was very clean and it is the best location with sightings daily of the beautiful wild horses and dolphins. Marissa is a very courteous responsive host and we are definitely visiting again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Our stay was absolute perfection! The home accommodated our family nicely. The home is exactly as advertised, very nice, and private. The homeowners were quick to respond to all of our questions.
Property was great, location was great and the company was great! Enjoyed the beach, pool and hot tub everyday! We got to see horses, dolphins, starfish and StarLink!! Bonus sighting!!!
Four Seasons was an awesome place to stay for our first OBX vacation.
We had no issues with renting and all
Instructions were very clear. The house was clean and fully stocked with all your houseware needs. Location was perfect to walk back and forth from beach. Kids enjoyed the pool and adults enjoyed the hot tub. So many spots to chill and watch the sunset and rise. Game Room was a fun hangout.We plan to come back and would stay at the Four Seasons again.
Great location, house was perfect for large families to stay together. A little disappointed in the cleanliness upon arrival, notified the owner, felt like she was more defensive than considerate regarding us making her aware. We did see horses every day we were there, on the beach, as well as around our property. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time there, and would go back.
Property was exactly as pictured! Horses hung out in the yard, driveway and carports every day! Property was in the perfect location and Laura and Jim were great. My family and I agree that it was the best vacation we've ever taken together; and that's out of 30 years of beach vacations! We can't wait to go again! Thanks for a great time and sharing your beautiful home with us. The McCrackens
