About this property

Amazing Ocean Views, pool table,14x28 pool, hot tub, 4x4

Finding Sandity, located on a semi-oceanfront lot on the 4x4 beach, has better "unobstructed" views than most oceanfront homes in the 4WD area. The 3rd level has a spacious open floor plan with kitchen, dining room, living room, and ships watch. There are plenty of windows in this lovely living area with multiple seating options. The king master bedroom off of the living room has access to the front deck with gorgeous ocean views and panoramic beach views. To the rear of the living area you will find a bonus room with a bunk set for the little ones.
The 2nd level has 3 full bedrooms, king with private bath and deck access, queen with private bath and deck access, a room with a duobunk (double bottom and twin top) and another twin bed, and a 4th bedroom that has been converted to a game room with a pool table and and brand new queen sleeper sofa and deck access. Fantastic views from this level mean sunrises can be viewed without even leaving your bed, but feel free to take the coffee out to the top level and enjoy that beautiful reflection of the sunrise over the ocean.
On the ground level you will find front and rear entry doors, fish cleaning table, outside shower and commode, and a park style grill. The new pool is located in the front next to the ocean!! The front yard has a dune dotted with sea oats that add to the charm of this well located home. Walk to the beach in less than a minute!!!!
Reserve this beautiful beach house now for one of the most relaxing beach vacations on perhaps the most beautiful section of the Outer Banks.

we found Sandity at Sandity

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at Sandity. My only complaints are there wasn't a second refrigerator like most beach houses (for drinks, etc) and that we couldn't see the 4th of July fireworks from the deck because the house Nextdoor blocked the view. However, when the AC went out on the second floor, the rental company was REALLY FAST to bring portable units until the service man could get there in 48 hours...communication was wonderful and I highly recommend this company again!

Family Vacation 2024

We really enjoyed our stay at this beach house! Being right on the beach was great and very secluded which made for a peaceful stay. We saw wild horses everyday and some came right up to the fence around the pool. The house was very clean and felt like our home away from home! Will plan on visiting again very soon :)

Family Vacation

My family and I stayed for a week to end our summer before the kids go back to school. The property was well maintained, had everything we needed and communication with the host was wonderful. Everything was exactly as described. The pool was such a great feature because one day the beach was just too hot to be comfortable and have the kids play. There were plenty of games and movies to also keep the kids entertained. We had an overall amazing experience at this property.

Loved the Location

Finding Sandity was a great vacation location for our family. Close to the beach, beautiful view, and we really enjoyed the pool and hot tub too. Driving 3 miles on the beach was a cool experience and caused us to enjoy the home and beach more. We look forward to vacationing in the Outer Banks again soon.

Wonderful stay

My family and I had a wonderful week at Finding Sandity. The house was exactly as advertised. The wild horses roamed freely and we seen them throughout the week. One day they literally came right up to the pool fence grazing. We also got to see sea turtle eggs being buried (the sea turtle volunteers moved the original nest due to the likelihood of survival, and a 5ft shark caught right in front of our house. We would definitely recommend this house and hope to be back soon in the future.

Perfect relaxing location

This was our second trip to the 4x4 area of Coralla where the beaches are beautiful and horse sightings occur daily. We greatly enjoyed the property and how large and comfortable it was. The new pool was very relaxing and the beach parking passes that were included came in handy. Laura was very easy to communicate with and promptly answered any questions we had. I would highly recommend this property!

Family Celebrations

Rented the week in October to celebrate our ten year anniversary with our family. It was a nice location, not too far down the beach, but down enough to see horses every day off the beautiful deck! We even got to see a full moon that week over the coast and enjoyed many beautiful sunrises together. Thank you for the much needed break! We had a great time!

Outer Banks Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: WE arrived at the proper time, 4 PM, just as high tide left. didnt releaize that you were stuck on the island from 10 AM until 4 PM from the tide covering the beach road. the home while the location is great if your goal is to beach full time, was a bit run down, not well kept but clean. Lots of sand and forget it if you dont come in 4WD truck/jeep. Wild horses were pretty cool. The hot tub was great but very dirty, didnt scare us, proba should have.

Wonderful beach home,so much to enjoy

The house was beautiful. We did have trouble locating it as the mile marker for our turn over the dunes was absent. There were horses to enjoy watching every day but one, the upper deck was stellar for spending time sitting out, taking in the views, the walk to the beach over the dunes required energetic walking which was fun. We thoroughly enjoyed this whole experience.

Very nice home, amazing location, horse sighings frequently

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Having never been to the 4X4 beach, we didn't know what to expect for ease of access. It was better than we thought, but wow, the sand can get deep to navigate. For sure need to air up and air down tires each time you come and go from the beach. We felt it kept traffic away, which we liked. The beach here is incredible - flat like Destin,FL, tons of shells to find, easy to walk. The house is exactly as we expected it. Tasteful decor, furniture was very nice. Floor plan worked well for us. Interior was clean when we arrived. Hot tub was great and we loved the pool. We had to call for service on the dryer and the team was there within an hour or two to remedy it. Impressive! Things I was disappointed in - kitchen is lacking in major areas of not having a can open, baking tins, no wine glasses, no real mixing bowls, the trash can is way too small for 8 people. The linens provided to us smelled at first....bad....I had to wash them before I would let anyone use them. The kitchen towels given had seen many better days, thin, fraying stained. I couldn't get the smell out of them and opted to use paper towels the rest of the week. The sheets on the master bed would not stay on the bed. I woke up many mornings sleeping on the mattress cover because the sheets popped off. That was frustrating. These are small things and we could remedy on our second trip by bringing these items. We would absolutely rent here again without hesitation. I would just hope the kitchen gets outfitted better. The Food Lion complex it seems is where all the shopping and dining is mostly found, close to the home. There is an ice cream place nearby as well.You can feel the love in the home and waking up having the horses on the dunes out front was something I will never forget! My morning coffee at home just isn't the same! I already want to go back! This is a special space if you want to decompress and forget about life for awhile.

Good vacation

Great location for beach, and great views from the house. Saw the wild horses almost every day. Inside pictures very accurate. House was clean and in good shape. Pool was a great addition. Only negative was there were a good amount of bugs(midges) and spiders on the outside and exterior of house could use some attention. Overall though very happy with the rental and would recommend to others.
