About this property

Cruise on up to the 4x4 beach just over 4 miles north of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse to visit this quiet, secluded house with wild horses and ocean views. Ground level (level 1 ) has room for parking 2-4 vehicles, under-house storage out of the weather, fenced-in back yard, outdoor shower and in-ground pool. As you progress to level 2, you can peep over the dunes to catch glimpses of the ocean. On this level there are 4 bedrooms total (1 king, 2 queen and 1 bunk room), 2 full baths and a wrap around deck with hot tub. Continue up to the top level (level 3) and you will have fantastic views of the Currituck National Wildlife Refuge, sand dunes and beyond out to the ocean. This level has wrap around deck, grill and dining outside. This level inside has a modern kitchen with granite counter-tops, stainless steel appliances, dining for 8-10 people and, of course, abundant natural light and endless views.

House is well appointed to relax and leave the real world you choose. There is satellite TV with 150+ channels, WiFi, games, books, DVDs and more. There is also a workstation for those of us that must get a bit of work done while taking a break from reality!

Walk out to the beach in a few minutes, drive out to the beach and park in less or stay in the house and relax at your own pace. There is no shortage of ways to unplug from the world and enjoy life!

We look forward to seeing y'all soon at The Red Octopus located on the beautiful 4x4 Beach in Corolla, NC!

The Red Octopus always delivers

Anyone looking to be be in peace and quiet away from the crowds up the 4X4 beach...this is your place. Back just enough from the beach to enjoy the peace....back of property backs up to nature preserve so no neighbors to compete with....right in the area where the Corolla horses roam. They come visit almost every day....coffee, quite and horses. Always great!

Love Red Octopus

Great location that feels secluded but is not far from the beach. Enjoyed cooling off during the day in the pool and relaxing at night in the hot tub. Owner is very responsive to any questions or needs you may have. We hope to come back again.

Fantastic property

Great vacation from start to finish. The house was perfect, pool and hot tub were sparkling clean. The horses came by to visit every day. Tons of great pictures, beautiful views and plenty of solitude. We barely went into town, stayed out on the 4x4 beach the whole week. I highly recommend this house for a great vacation spot. We will definitely be back!

Nice rustic beach house

This house was everything I expected for a house located on the 4WD part of Corolla. Comfortable rooms and common area ideal for family and friends vacation. Located at the end of a road with no through traffic. The homeowner provided vehicle beach passes is a nice touch.

Red Octopus is a great beach vacation

We love the Red Octopus and can't wait to visit again. The house feels secluded with few neighbors. We enjoyed the hammock and sitting on the second floor porch during the heat of the day. In the evening, the breezes and views from the third floor porch were lovely. Horses came to visit every other day. The pool and hot tub were a big plus. Beach is walking distance from house but when we had lots of gear the provided parking pass was so appreciated. Owner's list of things to bring was very helpful and we found the house had everything else needed.
