GORGEOUS… insanely gorgeous. Ample rooms for the bridal and grooms party. Insane views. Just the perfect beach wedding venue!
Wow. This venue is absolutely amazing. 18 bedrooms, beach access, and what amazing views. As a wedding photographer, I HIGHLY recommend this location.
I was extremely impressed with these properties! We stayed in the Mark Twain house and it was absolutely beautiful especially inside. There is an abundance of open space for entertainment and events throughout the home. There is a huge kitchen to gather family and friends. There is a theater room, pool table, pool and hot tub to enjoy with guests. The view is incredible and there is a walkway right to the beach which is super convenient. I would definitely recommend staying at this property - you won’t regret it!
If you’re trying to find a venue for a wedding, this is a great property to have your wedding as you’re able to house guests as well. Beautiful venue!
The property is spacious and cozy. Made to accommodate large groups. The pool was heated which was nice because it was a little chilly. The views are amazing all around the house.
This property is absolutely breathtaking.
Something out of a movie.
There isn’t a better setting for a creative weekend, wedding, or group getaway.
There are more amenities than you realize and if you think “hmm I wonder if they have ____” chances are they do!
This property is one your guests will talk about for years to come!
Staying at The Mark Twain, The Hemingway, and The Fitzgerald was an absolute dream come true. From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the natural beauty surrounding these properties.
The adventure of the 4x4 drive to reach our destination set the tone for an unforgettable experience. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and wildlife, we felt truly immersed in nature.
The houses themselves were a perfect blend of charm and comfort. Each one was thoughtfully designed and impeccably maintained, offering stunning views and cozy spaces to unwind.
But what truly made our stay memorable was the exceptional service provided by the owners and staff. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our visit was perfect, from arranging activities to recommending local spots to explore.
Overall, our time at The Mark Twain, The Hemingway, and The Fitzgerald exceeded all expectations. It was the perfect getaway, and we can't wait to return for another dose of relaxation and adventure.
I recently had the pleasure of attending a magnificent beach house wedding in Corolla, NC, and I can confidently say it was a celebration that will be etched in my memory forever. The combination of a stunning location, meticulous planning, and a warm atmosphere made this event truly exceptional.
First and foremost, the choice of location was awe-inspiring. The beach house, nestled along the picturesque coastline of Corolla, provided a breathtaking backdrop for the wedding ceremony. The sweeping ocean views, pristine sandy shores, and gentle sea breeze created a serene and romantic ambiance that perfectly complemented the joyous occasion.
One of the standout features of this wedding was the seamless integration of the indoor and outdoor spaces. The beach house itself was a sight to behold, boasting spacious and beautifully appointed rooms that exuded coastal charm. The ability to transition effortlessly between the indoor and outdoor areas allowed guests to revel in the natural beauty of the surroundings while still enjoying the luxuries and comforts of the beach house.
The wedding ceremony itself was a true testament to love and joy. The couple exchanged their vows against the backdrop of the rolling waves and golden sunset, creating a magical and heartfelt moment that left not a dry eye in the house. The attention paid to personalization and storytelling throughout the ceremony made it an authentic reflection of the couple's journey and their commitment to one another.
Above all, what truly made this mega beach house wedding remarkable was the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the couple and their families. From the heartfelt speeches to the infectious laughter, it was clear that love and joy filled every corner of the beach house. The genuine happiness and shared moments of celebration made it an unforgettable experience for everyone present.
So we stayed in this vacation home for a week. Totally worth the experience. The cleanliness , the location the atmosphere was perfect. Will give a 5 star review.
My family and I had the luxury to stay at the Fitzgerald and the Mark Twain in 2 special occasions. The host was very hospitable. He was always quick to answered and guided us to what we needed. I personally enjoyed getting up to see the beautiful sunrise and the sound of the ocean waves. There are times I see the wild horses too. Definitely will come back here again.
We recently had the opportunity to attend an event here, and can’t wait to go back! Us guests loved the adventure of the 4x4 drive to get out to the properties, and the natural beauty and wildlife all around.
It was so nice to unplug from busy life, and just enjoy spending time with loved ones! The houses are set up perfectly.
The owners and staff? 100% pros. They were on point, made sure everything ran smoothly, and really went the extra mile to make the day special for everyone.

Well it's been over 1 year since we tied the knot!!! What am awesome experience!! The homes are amazing! We even worked with the owner of the homes and they were very accommodating. The homes have everything you need to make your event very remarkable. There is penty of parking, everything you need for the kitchen, the pools are heated and well maintained.

We stayed in the Fitzgerald and had the wedding ceremony behind the Hemingway, by the pool, we had about 34 people and plenty of room at the Fitzgerald for the dinner and the party! Sherri, our wedding planner did a wonderful job on decorating the house. The Mark Twain house is very nice and can accommodate a lot more people.. All 3 house are very nice. We had the wedding dinner and the rehearsal dinner catered by Kelly's and the food was great! There is places
