Pros:

The staff was very kind and attentive. The view was amazing.

Cons:

The walls are so thin that I could hear the couples conversation beside me and walking above me.
The bed was a bit uncomfortable as well.

Lovely location and quaint inn!
Pros:

The Inn is located in an ideal spot on the sound side of Corolla. We had not heard of this place before our stay and were pleasantly surprised! Though we were only there for one night, we would definitely come again. The breakfast was very good and Bruce was such a sweet person with lots of information about the area! He is great PR for the inn.

Pros:

Great location and a great price. Breakfast area was very pretty and clean

Cons:

We didn't know that the Inn was not staffed after 5pm. If we would have been 30 minutes later arriving, I'm not sure how we would have checked in. Also, the tv didn't work in one of our rooms and there was no one to call to help us.

Dated and old. Not worth what you are paying.
Pros:

Room was okay. Just expected the place to not be so dated and run down on the outside and walkways etc. We had no view just of parking lot.

Cons:

As mentioned above, we almost passed it because it was sandwiched between some shops. Check in was at 4:00 and we had to depart at 10. So no time to explore the area. Needs to be remodeled and updated. Price was $240 for less than 24 hour stay. Continental breakfast had only bananas no other fruit and one bagel machine not working.

Perfect Stay!
Pros:

We loved the charm of the property! Our room was very clean and spacious. The BEST part was the bicycles that were included! We rode everywhere including the lighthouse, the beach and dinner. The views of the dock are exceptional especially at sunset. Breakfast was included and exceeded our expectations especially with our host, Bruce. He is a gem to this place! We would love to return!

Cons:

Spiders everywhere! Hundreds. Perhaps some sort of management with them.

Extremely relaxing and enjoyable. Easy access to beach, shopping and restaurants but not too busy
Pros:

King Suite was spacious, secluded on the corner of the building. Beautiful view for sunsets. The breakfast offering was broad and fresh with indoor or deck seating.

Cons:

Fine beach sand collected on floor and should have been cleaned daily. Towels were kind of small.
