***Breaking News***

Tripadvisor placed Corolla N.C. first in a list of 14 Beautiful Little Beach Towns in the U.S.A

Book your dream vacation in beautiful Corolla. You and your family deserve it!

***House is accessible by 4 wheel drive vehicle only!***

Corolla Beach Cottage is located in the unique 4x4 area of the northern Outer Banks. One of the last and least developed areas of the Outer Banks, this coastal area is the perfect vacation spot for those seeking a more adventurous getaway. This uncomplicated area is made up of dense maritime forests, less populated beaches, marshy sound-side coves, and protected national preserves--the ideal backdrop for the perfect vacation. Add the beautiful wide beaches with soft white sand and you are destined for an escape to a truly special and magical place.

This cozy home is located on Swan Beach, an absolutely gorgeous stretch of shoreline. It provides all the amenities for a well-deserved break from the stresses of everyday life. Whether you choose to relax on the deck, put a kayak in the sound or enjoy the sound of breaking waves while soaking up the sun, this location has it all! Come and see this amazing area nestled between the nature preserves where wild horses run free! You are just minutes away from one of the most beautiful beaches on the east coast!

This location gives you the best of both worlds; a wonderful, remote, and relaxing experience at the beach, yet only minutes away from world-class shopping, dining, and fun activities.

To make a beautiful home even better.

    House is perfect and they think of everything. Toilet paper and paper towels to start you out and a bottle of wine. The kitchen has everything you need. We had horses in our yard daily. Overall the house was clean. The bedroom ceiling fans need to be cleaned, very thick with dust and the grill hadn’t been cleaned. We tried to but the cleaning utensils were also dirty, so we were unable to clean it and use it. Other than those things, everything else in the house was wonderful! Very easy to get to the beach access, straight down from the house. Highly recommend!

    Had a great stay despite unfavorable beach weather thanks to this gem of a home. It was perfect for two seniors, their senior dog, and a couple in their fifties with two preteens. Having such a great well stocked clean home made all the rainy windy days better. Horses were around the house each and every day, under the car port, in the back yard, pretty much everywhere. The property managers are super nice. We ran into them a couple times and the owners are great and responsive, but we didn’t once have to reach out with any issues. You can pack light. The washer and dryer are updated and the kitchen is well stocked for a week of cooking.

    Another excellent stay in this perfect cottage! The weather could have been better but that’s always a chance you take in September. Horses on or near property nearly everyday. I walked through the living room one morning and seen movement through the back deck blinds. I was delighted to see a horse and enjoyed my morning coffee on the back deck admiring his beauty. We also seen a foal just up the road from us that was only days old! Overall, another perfect stay and we just love this home and location.

    The house was perfect. Clean and comfortable. We had a variety of weather from sunny to thunderstorms but it was a great trip. We saw horses, dolphins, and even a sea turtle on the beach! As first timers in the 4x4 area I was a little nervous but our hosts provided great instructions and tips. We’d love to back!

    Our trip was wonderful. First time in OBX and couldn't have picked a better property. Peaceful, quiet, and comfortable. The kitchen is well supplied including spices which was amazing for us home cooks. The only downside (that did not affect overall rating) which may not be a downside to some, the master bedrooms mattress is extremely firm. Loved seeing the horses daily and sitting on the porches in the most perfect chairs. Will absolutely be back!

    Beautiful, peaceful location. Home was clean and inviting. Owner respondeded quickly to any questions.We saw the Corolla wild horses daily. Got some great photos and videos of the horses. 4x4 Beach drive was a new experience for us. Absolutely loved it! We have had many friends and family inquire about the property. Our kids, spouses, and grandchildren all came to check out our location. They fell in love. Will definitely go again!

    I’ve been wanting to visit Corolla for years. Finally did it and couldn’t be more pleased with our stay. We seen the beautiful horses daily. One day we had them in the front and back of the house. An amazing experience to watch them from the porches. I did not want to leave and actually rebooked for 2025 during our stay! If you are looking for a perfect cottage for a couple or small family, look no further! Perfect! I cannot wait to return next year. The owners and property managers are wonderful to communicate with and were very helpful especially since it was our first visit to the 4x4 area. Best advice- understand the tide schedule and plan accordingly for trips back to pavement.

    2 Wk vacation was absolutely perfect. The home is wonderful & comfortable. Kitchen is nicely equipped. The two porches were great places to hang out. The horses visited numerous times during our visit, which was an incredible experience. The beach is pristine. It was easy to reach out to Randy and Susan if needed. If you are looking a laid-back property where you can rest this is it. We enjoyed sleeping, grilling/cooking, playing games, puzzling, reading books as well as walks on the beach and a couple excursions to town to see the Currituck Lighthouse and Whalehead. It’s perfect for families and for those looking for some respite. We can certainly see ourselves returning again and again.
