Lightly Salted OBX, Beach front Luxury, Wild Horses, Pool, Hot Tub, 4x4 Beach
1634 Sandfiddler Rd, NC Corolla 27927
SATURDAY CHECK IN - 4X4 BEACH - Approximately 3 miles up the 4x4 beach Hot tub and pool is open May 1st through October 1st.
Welcome to 'Lightly Salted', one of Swan Beach's finest homes perched against oceanfront dunes of the wild and beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina. This home boasts views of blue-green waves, bubbling white surf, and wide, sandy, wheat toned beaches as far as the eye can see. The enchantment begins as soon as your 4x4 vehicle leaves the pavement to drive right on the sand, only a few feet from the roar of the surf.
Panoramic views, Kinetico Water Systems, state of the art electronics, quality bedding and Sleep Number® beds, delicious drinking water and a well-stocked kitchen are at your disposal. All newly updated roku smart tvs , bring your own passwords to utilize the streaming apps (YouTube tv, Hulu, Netflix, etc). Outdoor picnic seating area with large hot tub and a charcoal grill. The ground floor half bath and second floor mini fridge make poolside entertainment a breeze. Hop out of the pool and walk 50 feet across the dune to the ocean!
The extremely well equipped kitchen has all stainless major appliances, cookware, utensils and small appliances. Brew your morning coffee in the Keurig, Mr Coffee and enjoy it while watching the waves from the screened porch just off the kitchen.
Sleep Number® beds with dual comfort controls are in 4 bedrooms: the third floor master king and three queens. The kid's room with two sets of bunkbeds.
POOL and HOT TUB are typically opened from MAY until end of SEPTEMBER. The pool is not heated.
Spend a luxurious week enjoying the beach, watching the wild horses graze and relaxing to the sound of the pounding surf from the well-appointed accommodations of 'Lightly Salted'.
NEW FOR 2026 New Kinetico carbon water filtration. New Kinetico Sulfur Guard filtration system Sparkling clean / clear Water as A result!
Always arrive before dark because the beach is more difficult to navigate at night. We recommend lowering your tire pressure to 15-20 psi so bring a tire pressure gauge along. Tires can be re-inflated at any of the area gas stations or the county put in FREE air stations at the Historic Corolla Park, 1100 Club Road, Corolla. The Park is on the sound side of the road. Turn in at the park road, make a right at the stop sign and another quick right into the gravel parking lot. The air up stations will be at the end of the lot. Check area tide charts prior to arrival. Low tide is ideal for beach driving. Follow all posted speed limits (35 mph or 15 mph when within 300 feet of pedestrians or wild horses). Drive on the hard-packed sand near the edge of the water or close to the dunes. Leave the middle of the beach available for parked vehicles. Drivers must be 16 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license. ATVs are not permitted. Also, Currituck County does not allow personal motorized watercraft on the ocean. Jet skis and personal motorboats are allowed on the Currituck Sound. The closest boat ramp is located at the Whalehead Club in Corolla. Due to shallow water and grass, this ramp is suitable for small craft only. For more information regarding Currituck County's rules and regulations, please contact the Currituck County Chamber of Commerce.

Great property if you like nature and a little privacy. Family had a great time and we would do it again.Recommend in earnest. Go, get off the blacktop and get your 4x4 some beach exercise.
House/property was everything we needed. Check in process was very easy, location was perfect. We saw the wild horses every day, which was fantastic! We had no issues, so did not need to contact the owner during our stay, but prior to the stay, owner was very responsive.
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! :)
First time here to celebrate my 50th birthday Amazing location on the beach.House and host where amazing seeing the wild horses was a dream come true we will return thank you
Everything was very nice. The pool and hottub was very clean and the house was exactly as described. Access to the beach was easy, just load you vehicle up and drive about a minute to your spot. We definitely recommend this property.
The property was 100 percent as advertised. Kitchen was the best stocked we have ever stayed in. Home was spacious and beautiful. Host was responsive and helpful when we were stuck on the beach. Recommended a towing company that was fast, easy, and awesome people. Note: tire pressure is best at 12 to 14 pounds.Would recommend 100 percent!!
Our family has stayed in Corolla the last few years and taken several day trips to the 4x4 area.
This year we decided to book a home in the 4x4 area. It’s an amazing Experience! Phenomenal location! Amazing views! Multiple visits from the wild horses grazing in the yard!
Marissa was great, responded quickly and remedied our only issue timely!
Wouldn’t hesitate to book with Marissa again.
This rental was awesome! We had plenty of room for our group of 10. The rental property met all of our expectations, from the moment we hit the 4 wheel drive beach, to seeing the wild horses daily and catching enough fish while shore fishing to have a great fish fry the last day of our stay. Lightly Salted also had the best stocked kitchen of any VRBO that we have rented. It had everything that we needed! We would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND Lightly Salted as a unique, comfortable and peaceful place to stay!
The house is a bit weather beaten, as to be expected, only a dune separates it from the ocean. Owners did a great job with the beach decorations placed just right. Loved the view from the deck where we saw the horses across the street, in the yard and under the deck. Also seen dolphins jumping thru the waves. Loved the house and the locations. Also, owners were quick to respond.
Loved the remoteness, beach access, pool.
Beautiful views. Perfect weather
Horses came for a visit once and stayed around the house for quite a while.
Kitchen well stocked
Ice maker was broken, but host refunded cost of buying bags
Only downside to trip was highway 12 traffic- plan to come and go with consideration to avoid peak travel times. Would be the only reason why would not visit again during the summer season
Our host was accommodative and was always easy to get ahold of. The house was awesome and big enough for our family and friends. We enjoyed the drive on the beach to get there and the amazing views. The pool and hot tub were a must for our kids and they enjoyed it. The horses came up to the house a few times and were usually in sight all week
. The only negative thing to say was the sleep number beds were uncomfortable but that’s a personal preference. We had the best time at Lightly Salted and made many good memories.
Great property, salty air is definitely hard on a home, but the owner has done a nice job of making it feel like home. Decor was lovely and well thought out. I feel that some people who have previously rented the property have not treated it with care. That’s a shame that people don’t take care of someone’s rental home as they would their own. The pool is nice, the hot tub is good but needs a new cover. All in all we were happy. Would rent again.
Lightly Salted is a great house in a great location that gave us the solitude on the coast we were seeking. The house provided unobstructed views up and down the beach with the roar of the surf loud and clear on the decks. We were looking to avoid large crowds of beach goers, and the beach was mostly ours alone when we ventured out looking for shells and shore birds. The sun rises on the last few days were spectacular!
The owners installed a brand new refrigerator with icemaker for the kitchen on the day of arrival. The unit was clean, and we have no complaints with any of the other appliances or furniture. The owners were very responsive and even helped me get our Jeep unstuck from sand during our worst weather day (without us asking)!
Overall an outstanding experience, and we look forward to returning for our next Outer Banks vacation.
This property and location exceeded our expectations! the views, amenities and the daily horse visits made for a memorable and enjoyable vacation. I have already recommended this home to several people and plan to come back in the future!
Excellent location. Beautiful views allowed for a most relaxing stay. Proximity to beach allowed us to enjoy some surf fishing and we greatly appreciated access to the hot tub, it was used every evening! A must return location.

Excellent location, and greatly appreciated their keeping the hot tub open for our use during our was used every night!
Great responsive hosts, especially during the pandemic. The property was beautiful, clean and well maintained. Swimming pool and hot tub were clean and in great condition. Easy access to the beach. Horses wondered through the property 2 or 3 times during our week long stay. MUST HAVE 4 WHEEL DRIVE TO ACCESS!
