Saltaire Cottages

10/10 Excellent

Saltaire Cottages was a great place to stay for a few days. It was cleaned and had what we needed for those few days. When you drive up it seems to be a little outdated. The inside of our cottage had been redone and it was fine. The location is great, right across the street with their own beach access. The beaches were not so crowded on any day that you felt like you were right on top of each other.

We have been coming to Corolla for 32 years and always rented a house. This year it was just my husband and I for a last minute 4 night getaway. We were pleasantly surprised just how nice the Hampton Inn at Corolla was. We had a king room with a partial ocean view on the second floor. Unless your room is on the third floor, the view really doesn't mean much. We had a nice view of the pools.
