About this property

The Pony Tale, 4x4 Beach House with Ocean Views. Dog friendly.

Welcome to "The Pony Tale", a spacious beach house within walking distance to the beach! 5 Primary Bedrooms/ 5 Full Bathrooms/ 2 Half Bathrooms. Start your weekend off right with this beautiful (Friday to Friday only during the summer) rental, avoiding that weekend traffic and enjoying the beach! Most rentals are Saturday or Sunday bookings. Traffic gets CRAZY backed up on the beach and pavement those days. You'll be happy to be at the house already AND you'll be home in plenty of time to "wind down" and be ready to return to your everyday life.

Ground level: interior offers a game table for board games or other activities, a flat screen tv, wet bar with small fridge, card table, laundry closet and half bath that leads to the outside. The exterior ground level has a private pool (opens when the weather is warm enough and closes when it starts to get cooler out) with a large pool deck, outside shower, picnic table, gas grill (propane included) and fenced yard.

Mid-Level: includes a quiet sitting area nestled in between rooms 1 & 2. Rooms 3 & 4 are also on this level with all rooms having their own full bathrooms. The exterior includes a hot tub that is open all year.

Top Level: has the King Primary bedroom with full bathroom and oversized bath tub. This level also offers a living room, a big flat screen tv with surround sound and boasts tons of natural light and beautiful views. We have an upgraded kitchen which is fully equipped with everything you need including stainless steel appliances, plenty of counter space with bar seating for 4, plus small appliances, glassware, dishes and utensils for serving. Just off the kitchen rests a dining area with a large wooden table for 8 that pairs well with the bar seating for 4 by the kitchen, providing plenty of space for family meals. There is also a sunroom with a futon and kids area for coloring, reading or puzzles.

Last but not least, outside of the sunroom is a spiral staircase that leads up to an oversized "Widows Walk” area where you have beautiful views of the ocean, the sound, the sunrise and the sunset.

Extras: Each room has its own flat screen tv with cable, closets with hangers and full bathrooms. Primary king has a walk in shower and separate tub, 3 queen primary bedrooms with tub/shower combos and 2 twin bunks (sleeps 4 all together) with a tub/shower combo. The home also includes beach chairs and umbrella for your use.

*Linens and bath towels will be included at no extra cost. We will provide sheets for all beds and beds will be made and ready for you. Please bring your own bedding for the futon if you plan to use it. (You may want to bring extra towels if you have more than 12 guests coming.) A hand towel and bath mat will be in each bathroom as well. We have also provided books, board games, poker chips, cards, coloring books and puzzles for extra entertainment.

Awesome Stay!
Can't say enough about the uniqueness of this property. Amazing views, amazing drive to the property over the beach and the horses were present almost daily during our eight day stay. My daughter had all of her birthday wishes come true with horses grazing outside in the mornings. Great place for beach and horse lovers alike.

Loved staying at the Pony Tail and didn't want to leave. Great location. Horses came right up to the house. Morning coffee watching the sunrise every day. Getting back and forth to the house was easier than anticipated. Host was responsive. Highly recommend, 5 stars all the way.

Splendid
The Pony Tale was everything we expected. The view was fab and the ponies were around everyday. Our host April was the best. We had a few small issues with a couple small appliances that she ordered new ones and had them sent to us the very next day. Communication with her was immediate with responses. I wish the wind hadn't been blowing so hard and it could have been warmer but we can't control the weather and still had a great time. We are planning to come back next year and I pray and hope April will still be our host. This house is perfect for anyone that wants a view of the Atlantic and privacy. We were bothered by no one. It's just under 3 miles on the 4x4 basically a 10 to 15 minute drive to the concrete, I just loved it! Driving the beach sand was a new experience for us and it was just fine in our 4x4 Ram truck. All in all I have no complaints so check it out and "Seas the Day" at the Pony Tale.

About the host

Hosted by April

Host profile image
In 2010 we came to the 4x4 area of Corolla for the first time. We had never been to a 4x4 beach before, so we had no idea what to expect. From the moment we reached the pavement onto the sand we fell in love with this amazing sanctuary. We purchased this home as a second home for our family and would love to share this beautiful home and place with you. We are sure that you will love it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

From the widows walk you have the ability to see both the sunrise and sunset, the views are spectacular. You are on the second road, so just a 5 minute walk to the beach or you can drive your 4x4 vehicle out to the beach for the day.

What makes this property unique

You will be able to watch the dolphins playing in the ocean, the pelicans flying overhead and our main attraction, the magnificent wild ponies that is our unique to this sanctuary. Please remember that these ponies are wild and you should never try to approach, touch or feed them, please admire them from a distance. In the off season you may witness a whale swimming in the ocean or seal sunning on the beach. This place is magical and we know you will love it as much as we do!
