- 5 BR, 4.5 BA, Sleeps 13.

New in 2013 refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave. 37' Flat screen TV on top level. Linens and towels included. 'Footprints in the Sand' where Wild Horses roam all year along the ocean and graze in the cottage yard. There's an occasional sighting of a whale,migrating. Geese, ducks, pelicans and dolphins abound. The 4 WD area is truly an adventure. And although the area is secluded this owner/contractor built cottage is well-equipped with comfortable extras; professionally decorated with beautiful furnishings, custom cabinets, granite and marble tops and tile. Two levels of decks provide magnificent views of sunrises and sunsets. The large hot tub and sun-room are crowd favorites. Gorgeous 14' X 40' pool with large deck and furniture. Available now, free, wireless high speed internet.

Fishing: This area is renowned for great fishing. It is home to a vast number of species- striped bass, flounder, red and black drum, marlin, cobia, trout, tuna, spot and croaker. Surf fish, fish in the sound, and deep sea fishing are all available.

Four Lighthouses: The Currituck Lighthouse, Bodie Lighthouse, Cape Hatterras, and Oracoke Lighthouse are all within a few hours driving distance. The lighthouse keepers houses and Currituck and Hatteras are open to the public. The Currituck light is visible from the cottage at night.

Wild Horses in the 4 Wheel Drive area: Most days horses are visible on the beach and in the yards of cottages. The Wild Horse Association maintains about 50 horses that roam freely and feed on the vegetation. The Corolla Wild Horses are believed to have roamed the Ouer Banks for more than 4 centuries. These amazing animals are descendants of Spanish Mustangs. There are several tour companies that will take you to see the horses in the 4 WD area. But if you stay in a cottage in this area you may wake up to find horses with their foals in the yard!

tons of fun

Submitted: April 4, 2013 Stayed: July 2012
Thanks so much so sharing your beautiful cottage with our family. We had a wonderful time with children, grandchildren. We made memoirs that will last a life time! We all had tons of fun in the pool and were thrilled to have horses come right up to the house.
You made our stay very enjoyable and comfortable with all the extras you provided.

Great house and location. Everything you could want in a vacation home for the family. Property was clean, well maintained and had a great little kitchen by the pool to use for snacks and drinks. Rooms were spacious and the wild horses love the yard. Saw them everyday and on the beach. Only negative was the traffic to get on the island, they need another bridge. Great place and we would return if we go to the outer banks again.

Unique Vacation!

5 of 5
Submitted: July 12, 2011 Stayed: September 2010
We've stayed at this property for several years and we keep going back. We've also had the opportunity to stay at several other houses in the OBX and this is by far the best!! The house and pool are absolutely beautiful. You get the feeling of being "at home" only better! The furnishings, tile floors and granite countertops make this house even more special. We loved staying in the second level master bedroom. It's very convenient to the top level living room, but also to the pool. There was plenty of space for our family to gather. Also, with several decks, you could always find a place to slip away and enjoy the view and a great book. We spent time relaxing by the pool, enjoying the wild horses and playing in the sand. The 4 x 4 area is so unique....there's nothing quite like it. We just love staying at "Footprints" and we can't wait to go back!

Quiet area, horses came right up to the door. Saw deer across the street. Dolphins seen nearly everyday we walked on the beach. The pool area was nice. House was huge and lots of room. On the negative side, It is four-wheeled drive a must! We did not drive to town everyday because of the driving on the beach area was almost four miles to the road. You are driving in the dunes period! Our house was not finished cleaned when we arrived after 6:30. Many areas of the house was dirty. The house is not kept up very well. We have rented in Wave's and the walk to the beach was out the door. It is 3/4 mile walk to the beach thru the dunes or road. Not much difference in cost and I would rent in Wave's next time. Just as quiet and not as dangerous driving. There is no water pressure, and the water is terrible smelling. the house has sulfar and hard water the house needs a better filter system. It does have a system now at the home and does not help the problem. No pressure for more than one shower at time.
Recommended for:  Adventure Seekers
Owner's Response: The 4-wheel drive area is one of the last frontiers on the east coast. Driving is not over 15-25 miles an hour on the beach and the beach is patrolled by police. Our house is 3.1 mile from the hard top road and 650 feet from the beach. Due to the island location, the house is supplied with well water, which is potable. The water system is treated twice a month or more if requested by the realtor.

Wonderful!!!

We stayed at Footprints in the Sand in August 2009. We had a wonderful week! The layout of the house was perfect for our group,we had 6 adults and 2 children. The house is beautiful with plenty of room to spread out. The pool and hot tub were a big hit!! We saw lots of wildlife, horses, pelicans, crabs, jellyfish and the adorable tree frogs. We drove to the beach everyday which was great. It was a little to far for the two children to walk. The drive took no more than 5 minutes. The trip was fantastic, I would definately recommend this property to anyone!! My only advice would be to not wash anything light colored. I washed a load of light blue towels and ended up with some rust/iron? stains. Also bring plenty of drinking water becuse the water does have a sulpher smell.
