Anwesen am Meer | Schlafplätze für 40 | Hochzeiten & Retreats | 18 Zimmer | OBX

Hosting 40 guests at The Mark Twain Estate costs less than booking 20 oceanfront hotel rooms — with one address, one check-in, and zero shuttles. Your entire group sleeps on-site, celebrates under one roof, and has exclusive use of an 18-bedroom oceanfront estate on Corolla's private 4x4 beach.
