The room was updated. The chairs were nice outside to sit on. Bathroom was very nice.
Pros:

We stayed on the 2nd floor over looking the sound and the sunset views were amazing

Cons:

I didn’t like how far it was up in Corolla. Just about at the end where the wild horses are. The parking lot was shared with the people that did jet skis and it was crowded in the morning. Since we overlooked the sound..the smell was atrocious. I was gagging while trying to look at the sunset. The smell was so bad that it came in our room from the ac unit. When you looked down all you saw was dirty muddy filthy water just sitting there with all the trash in it that washed up from the water. I will never stay on that floor again overlooking the sound

Great place to make memories with family.
Pros:

On the water, close to the water sports, food Lion, and lots of restaurants with delicious food. The pool area was wonderful.

Cons:

The bed mattress wasn’t the most comfortable and after sleeping on the bed pillows for four nights, my neck is hurting. But we can’t wait to come back for another stay.
