LOCATION & BEACH ACCESS



The Mark Twain occupies a rare position on Corolla’s 4x4 beach — a stretch of undeveloped Atlantic coastline accessible only by off-road vehicles, where the famous wild Corolla horses roam freely along the shore. There are no paved roads, no commercial development, and no crowds.



Direct, Private Access to the Beach — Miles of uncrowded public shoreline, reached exclusively from the estate’s own boardwalk. The estate sits on three private oceanfront acres with no immediate neighbors, giving your group room to gather on the beach or watch the sunset without another party in sight.

THE 24-HOUR CLEAN GUARANTEE



The Mark Twain is professionally cleaned and inspected before every arrival. If anything falls short of that standard, tell us within 24 hours of check-in and we will have it corrected within 24 hours of your report. If we do not, your cleaning fee is refunded in full. Refunds under this guarantee apply only where we fail to re-clean within that window.



SAND, WALKWAYS, DECKS & POOL AREA

Outdoor walkways, stairs, decks and pool surrounds are cleaned and sand is removed periodically, subject to weather, safe access and coastal restrictions. Wind, tides and storms may bring sand back shortly after cleaning; daily removal and continuously sand-free surfaces are not included. Please contact us if buildup obstructs access.

Wear secure, slip-resistant footwear on outdoor walkways, stairs, wooden decks and around the pool; avoid walking barefoot. Walk carefully, use handrails and do not run on wet or sandy surfaces. Rinse sand from feet, footwear, swimwear and beach equipment at the designated outdoor rinse area, where provided, before entering the home, pool or hot tub. Remove sandy footwear indoors; do not wash or sweep sand into pools, hot tubs or indoor drains.

No glass near the pool or hot tub. Do not drag or rearrange furniture, place indoor furniture outdoors, or move pool equipment. Keep paths clear, supervise children and keep pool gates closed. Do not climb railings, bypass barriers, remove caution tape or enter closed areas. Use only access routes designated for your reservation.

Report loose boards, exposed fasteners, broken glass, damaged gates or other hazards immediately and stop using the affected area until management confirms it can be used. Share these rules with all guests and visitors. Documented guest-caused damage or extraordinary cleaning may be charged under the rental agreement; ordinary windblown sand and normal wear are not guest-caused damage.
