Corolla Raymond Island Hotels

"Our first time in the Northern Banks / 4WD section of OBX. We are hooked, we’ll definitely be back. We went in the off-season which was quite nice. The property itself is as advertised and very comfortable and spacious, and well appointed. The owner was extremely responsive and a breeze to deal with. I thought it was very good value for the money and appropriately priced. Highly recommend but hopefully YOU don’t book MY Thanksgiving holiday next year! :)"

"Amazing home, very well stocked kitchen. We already talked about staying here again next year. "

"Perfect location on the 4x4 beach! Saw so many wild horses and the house had everything we needed! Gorgeous view and easy walk to the beach! Property owner was quick to respond and very knowledgeable about the area and the 4x4 beach (we were 1st timers). Would highly recommend!"

"Very spacious and each room had door to the porch which was great. The screen porch on the side was perfect to get away from the cool breeze but still able to view the ocean. The location was perfect with a great view of the ocean and area. We were able to watch the horses from the deck and even in the pool. Check in and out was very easy and hosts were great. "

"We had a great vacation at this house. The house is spacious, comfortable, felt clean and well-maintained. The proximity to the beach, and the views of the beach from the house were phenomenal. We also saw horses right outside the house almost every day. We enjoyed playing the board games and doing the puzzles as a family every night. Communication with the host was also good. The downsides to the house for us were that the beds were small, the water pressure in the shower was weak, there were a lot of ants in the kitchen (we had to use ant spray and ant traps and keep all our food sealed up carefully), and the WiFi buffered a lot at night. But for us, these things were outweighed by the excellent location, fair price, amazing views, and spaciousness of the house. We would definitely stay here again! "

"Love the location and all this house has to offer. Great place to get away and relax with horses often nearby."

"Overall was very good. Easy to get to the beach & not too far of a drive down the beach to the house. Plenty of room for 26 of us. The worst problem was that no one wanted to drink the tap water (well water) & the A/C in the master bedroom (top floor) was weak plus the ice machines were not working. The issues of the master shower handle being broken so that we could only get hot water and running out of propane were quickly rectified"

"We had a fantastic time and I would rent again for sure"

"We had an incredible stay at the Mark Twain Oceanfront home from March 2 to March 4. The property was spacious, beautifully designed, and perfect for our group getaway. The amenities were exactly what we were looking for—plenty of room for everyone to spread out, a fully stocked kitchen, a private pool and hot tub, and direct beach access just steps from the back door.One of the most magical parts of our stay was seeing the wild horses right outside the property! It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience to watch them roam freely along the dunes and shoreline. It added such a peaceful and surreal vibe to our mornings and evenings.The house itself was clean and well-equipped, and we appreciated the multiple entertainment areas and the convenience of the elevator, especially for our older guests. The ocean views from the deck were absolutely breathtaking—we could’ve spent all day out there."
