The Inn At Corolla Light

The Inn At Corolla Light

10/10 Excellent
"We had an amazing stay at The Inn for our first trip to the Outer Banks. The location was perfect with easy access to shops and restaurants, an easy walk or quick drive to the beach with easy parking. The onsite pool was a great way to keep the fun going after a day out and sunsets on the pier are breathtaking. Alexis took all of the guesswork out of where to eat and how to get around and she made sure our stay was enjoyable. Bruce was amazing with the kids, so pleasant, and brought great charm and character to our stay. For a family of 4 with 6 year old boys, we would absolutely recommend and we’d stay here again."
