A wonderful oceanfront getaway! The views were beautiful, and having so much space made it easy to relax and enjoy time together. Being right by the beach made the stay feel extra special. A lovely setting for making memories with family and friends—we would happily return!

The Hemingway at The Three Authors estate is absolutely spectacular. The property is massive, beautifully designed, and perfect for a group trip. We spent most of our time enjoying the huge pool area, hanging out in the private cocktail bar lounge, and taking advantage of having the beach right in our backyard. The 4x4 beach location makes it feel like a private oasis. LuxStayUSA was excellent to work with and made the entire experience seamless. Highly recommend!

Hemingway offers a spacious oceanfront setting for a large group getaway, with room to gather and enjoy the Outer Banks together. The beach, private pool, and hot tub make it an appealing spot for a family vacation or celebration.Plan transportation carefully: the property is in the 4x4-only area of Carova, so a suitable vehicle is essential. Arrange any shuttle services beforehand and bring groceries and supplies with you. A little preparation will help you make the most of this remote beach location!

Incredible oceanfront stay!

We had an amazing time at The Hemingway from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—right on the beach with breathtaking views of the ocean. The home itself is spacious, beautifully designed, and perfect for a relaxing getaway.The freshly done gourmet kitchen was a standout feature, fully equipped with everything we needed to cook meals and enjoy quality time together. The multiple living spaces made it easy to spread out and unwind, and the attention to detail throughout the home made our stay extra comfortable.If you're looking for a luxury beach retreat with top-notch amenities and plenty of space, this is the place to stay. Highly recommend!

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.

The Hemmingway

The location of the home is so nice and peaceful and the instructions about the access was excellent. The response and attentiveness of the property management team was excellent. However, the house itself needs a lot of work and TLC and is very over priced for the quality of home. The kitchen appliances don’t work properly, the furnishing are dated, there is no real seating options on the deck, many of the decking board are popping up and creating trip hazards, the pool liner is loose in many places, several of the bedspreads were stained, etc. I give the location and the responsiveness a 5 star, but the home itself is truly a 1 star.

Our stay at the Hemingway was incredible! This oceanfront home is truly one of a kind—spacious, beautifully maintained, and designed for both comfort and fun. With 14 bedrooms and plenty of living space, it was perfect for our group to spread out while still feeling connected.The amenities were outstanding. We loved the private pool and hot tub, and the direct beach access made it easy to enjoy the sand and ocean anytime. Inside, the home had everything we could ask for—multiple gathering areas, a fully equipped kitchen, Smart TVs, and comfortable bedrooms with private baths.The location in the 4x4 area is unforgettable. Watching the wild horses roam freely right by the property was magical and something you don’t experience anywhere else. It added a sense of wonder to the trip that we’ll always remember.Check-in was smooth with keyless entry, WiFi worked well, and the host was excellent—responsive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed.The Hemingway is more than just a vacation rental—it’s an experience. Perfect for large families, groups, or special events, and one we’d absolutely return to again.

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

Thank you for sharing your insights on the 4x4 wheel area, Joe. While it may seem daunting to some guests, it's great to hear that all you need is a regular SUV with AWD and to take air pressure out to 15psi and drive around 10-20 miles/hour based on traffic. It sounds like a beautiful and unique experience to drive on the sand and enjoy the surroundings. Getting groceries and restaurants may require a 4.5 mile 15-20 minute drive, but in exchange for this effort, you get to enjoy one of the most beautiful and unique opportunities to stay at The Hemingway, which is different than 99% of other beaches. Thank you for sharing your tips and insights, and we hope they will be helpful to future guests looking to experience "The Hemingway" in Outer Banks.
