Our Story

Q + A

Welcome to the Outer Banks! We are so excited to have you join us in this special place. One of the reasons we love the OBX so much, especially Corolla, is that we can truly unplug and unwind here. It's worth the journey, we promise!

Consider driving to the Outer Banks since the closest airport is over 2 hours away and you will need a vehicle to get everywhere once you arrive. PLEASE NOTE: you will need a 4WD vehicle if you intend to drive on the sand to get to the Chesapeake.
