Beach Realty & Construction is a Currituck-based vacation rental and homebuilding company managing a substantial portfolio of vacation homes in the Carova 4×4 area. They are one of the few companies operating in the 4×4 area that also offers 4×4 property management services to homeowners, not just guest bookings. Their published guest reference for the Carova 4×4 area is one of the most operationally detailed of any Outer Banks management company.

Beach Realty’s Operational Documentation
Beach Realty’s About Carova Beach reference is the kind of page first-time 4×4 guests should bookmark before arrival. It covers details most companies leave to chance:
- Tire pressure — Air down to 18-20 PSI before the ramp, air up at the exit. They explicitly note that AWD and 2WD vehicles are not suitable.
- Trash pickup schedule — May 1 through September 30: Wednesday and Saturday. October 1 through April 30: Wednesday only. Roll bins out the night before.
- Parking restriction — The first 1.5 miles north of the 4×4 ramp is no-parking. Park in the designated middle-strand areas only.
- Beach sunset rule — After sunset, the entire beach becomes a driving lane. Flatten sand structures and remove all belongings or risk losing them.
- Driver requirements — Drivers must be at least 16 with a valid license. ATVs are not permitted; personal watercraft are allowed only on the sound.
- Speed limits — 35 mph on the beach, 15 mph within 300 feet of people.
Wild Horse Guidance
Beach Realty reinforces the same wild horse rules every guest should know: stay at least 50 feet away from the Corolla wild horses at all times, do not feed them, and report any harm or harassment. As they note, the wild Colonial Spanish Mustangs have lived on this stretch of beach for over 400 years and are protected by Currituck County ordinance.
Booking and Contact
Beach Realty’s rentals number is 252-441-7166, available for both call and text. Their main Kitty Hawk office and Corolla office both handle 4×4 area bookings. They have offices throughout the Outer Banks, including a dedicated Corolla location.
How Beach4x4 Pairs with a Beach Realty Stay
Beach Realty notes in their own guest reference that some guests rent a 4×4 vehicle when their personal vehicle isn’t suitable. They reference Enterprise at MP 6.5 and Outer Banks Chrysler as nearby options. We’d add ourselves to that list: Beach4x4 specializes in 4×4 vacation rentals built specifically for beach use. Our weekly rate is $1,338 for any vehicle, with both Currituck and Cape Hatteras ORV permits included.
