✨ Navigating Your Way to The Hemingway ✨

☀ Essential Vehicle Information/Requirement:

An AWD or 4WD vehicle (Opt for our Shuttle Service if you don't have one) with at least 7.5 inches of ground clearance is necessary (e.g., Toyota 4Runner, Lexus GX, Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler, Chevy Tahoe, and most trucks). Avoid 2WD Vehicles: A tow from the sand costs $400 and consumes vacation time, so a 2WD vehicle is not recommended.

To ensure a smooth arrival, an all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle with at least 7.5 inches of ground clearance is required! A tow from the sand is $400 and consumes a lot of precious vacation time, so trust us and don’t try the drive in a 2WD vehicle.

Three Convenient Options for Arrival:

Drive Your Own or a Rental 4x4/AWD Vehicle: We recommend local rentals that allow beach driving. Stop at Historic Corolla Park to reduce tire pressure by 10-15 pounds before driving on the sand. Easier driving conditions are during low tide and cooler temperatures.

Location of Free Air Down Station: 1113 Village Lane, Corolla, NC 27927, USA (Google Maps)

Use Satellite Parking: Park overnight at one of our vendor’s convenient satellite parking locations, about 3 miles from the house. Members of your group with 4x4s can pick you up, ensuring everyone arrives safely and together.

Select from one of our satellite parking spots
Opt for a Third-Party Shuttle Service: For a hassle-free option, a personalized third-party shuttle service is available.

Amazing Property with Stunning Views!
We were blown away by "The Hemingway" in Outer Banks - it truly exceeded all our expectations. From the beautiful beach access and refreshing pool to the raised boardwalk, sightings of wild horses, and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, this property has something for everyone. We can't recommend it enough as a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an unforgettable beach vacation. To access the property, we used a regular SUV with AWD and deflated tires to 15 psi, which worked perfectly for the 5-minute drive on the sand. While it takes about 20 minutes to reach the nearest grocery stores and restaurants by car, the stunning views along the way make the drive well worth it. We're already looking forward to returning to this amazing property.

Spectacular Vacation Experience, Highly Recommend!
We had an amazing time at "The Hemingway" in Outer Banks. The biggest hurdle was the 4 wheel drive, but the host made it effortless by providing comprehensive explanations and videos on the entire process. They guided us on where to park for our non-4x4 vehicles, how to deflate and reinflate our tires, and drive any all-wheel-drive with enough clearance to the property. It was a unique and enjoyable experience that we are happy to have tried. We highly recommend this home. Upon arrival, we were impressed by the classic charm and grandeur of Outer Banks combined with modern amenities. The 14-bedroom "Hemingway" offered ten spacious king bedrooms, ideal for our last-minute group of friends gathering for this unique experience. We enjoyed the space, views, and most of all, the relaxing environment. The gourmet kitchen had everything we needed to whip up great meals during our stay. Another feature we loved was the property's reverse osmosis water system, making it environmentally friendly and eliminating the need for water bottles. The indoor lounges were perfect for our group, equipped with TVs, a pool table, a piano, gas fireplaces, and more. Everyone in our group loved the private pool, hot tub, and pool house with a bar. We spent hours lounging on the numerous decks with comfortable seating and breathtaking ocean views. The private access to the beach through an elevated boardwalk was an added bonus, and we even got to see the wild horses on our way down to the sand
