Internet Service providers (ISP's) and their reliability has been a very difficult thing in the remote beaches of the Northern Outer Banks. One could make the case that you don't need any internet in such an area, which I actually agree with, but if only to keep current with my semi-famous blog.....
Embarq now offers ISDN service in the 4x4 area. Internet, free VOIP, security systems and video can now be used in the off-road area. Embarq supplies a free modem for a plug-in installation. Bundling a number of services together will save you a few bucks overall. Just remember, their tech support is not local which if you rent your house can be frustrating to your guests. Just tell them that the best surfing on the Outer Banks involves a board and wax.
