The American Authors Estates

Three majestic homes, a total of forty-five bedrooms, uniquely located on ten acres of unspoiled beach . . . the American Authors Estates. Each professionally designed and appointed home offers guests the ultimate vacation retreat. They showcase a combination of classic decor and modern luxuries in a setting you must see to believe. If you’ve had the pleasure of staying in The Hemmingway or The Mark Twain then you can appreciate the grandeur planned for the newest home to the collection, The Fitzgerald. We invite you to treat yourself, family & friends to an unforgettable visit.

Accessible by 4x4 only. Constructed for the 2008 season, this 18 bedroom pet-friendly oceanfront home magically combines grandeur with the feel of the old Outer Banks. The warmth of natural materials abounds in marble, stone and slate, generously tiled bathrooms, granite kitchen and bar tops and tile and heart pine flooring. A commercial-type, Viking kitchen and ample dining space make meals a pleasure. Several well-stocked libraries and other private places provide opportunities for quiet retreat. With quality exercise equipment, a pool table, baby grand piano with player-piano option, printer/copier/fax and PA system you’ll have the tools needed for every occasion. Enjoy sunrises over the ocean and sunsets on the sound from this home’s high elevation and extensive decking. A stroll on the raised walkway leads you to the large pool and pool house, gazebo, a chance to see wild horses and ultimately the ocean. The Mark Twain invites you to relax, escape the hardships of everyday life and create cherished beach vacation memories. Approximately 2.3 miles up the beach.
