Why Fall Is a Great Time to Visit Corolla, North Carolina
When most people picture an Outer Banks vacation, they think about summer.
But summer isn't the only time to enjoy Corolla.
Fall brings a different kind of Outer Banks vacation. It's a great time for families and friends who want to spend time together, enjoy the beach, explore Corolla, and slow down after a busy summer.
At Whale Wishes OBX, we love seeing families experience Corolla beyond the traditional summer vacation.
Here are a few reasons to put a fall trip to Corolla on your vacation list.
Enjoy More Time at the Beach
You don't need a packed summer schedule to enjoy the beach.
One of the best parts of a fall getaway is having time to simply walk along the ocean, sit by the water, watch the sunrise, or spend an afternoon exploring the shoreline.
Whale Wishes is located in Corolla's Whalehead Beach community, less than 500 feet from the beach. You're about a 4-minute walk away.
That makes an early morning beach walk easy. Head back to the house for breakfast, then decide what you want to do with the rest of your day.
Bring the Whole Family
Getting a large family together for a vacation isn't always easy.
Whale Wishes gives everyone room to spread out while keeping your group together.
The home has 6 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms and accommodates up to 16 guests.
Four bedrooms are King Master Suites with private en-suite bathrooms and Smart TVs.
That setup works especially well for grandparents, adult children, couples, and multiple families vacationing together. Adults have their own space, while everyone still shares the same vacation home.
Spend More Time Together at the House
A fall vacation doesn't have to revolve around a packed activity schedule.
Make breakfast together.
Spend the afternoon exploring Corolla.
Come home for dinner.
Play games.
Relax in the hot tub.
Then do it again tomorrow.
Whale Wishes includes a game room, hot tub, well-equipped kitchen, Smart TVs, outdoor living spaces, and ocean views.
The house becomes part of the vacation rather than simply somewhere to sleep.
Explore Corolla
The beach is only one reason families return to Corolla.
You can spend part of your trip exploring the area, visiting local attractions, eating at nearby restaurants, or heading out in search of Corolla's famous wild horses.
Then return to Whale Wishes and enjoy a quieter evening together.
Consider Thanksgiving at the Outer Banks
Fall also brings one of our favorite opportunities to get the family together.
Thanksgiving.
Whale Wishes opens for a special Thanksgiving stay.
Instead of gathering for dinner and heading home a few hours later, turn Thanksgiving into a family getaway.
With room for up to 16 guests and four King Master Suites, Whale Wishes gives extended families an opportunity to stay together while still having private bedroom space.
Prepare Thanksgiving dinner together in the kitchen.
Take a family walk on the beach.
Spend the evening in the hot tub.
Let the kids enjoy the game room.
Most importantly, give yourself more than a few hours together.
