About Us

Yes!  We are open to all- so come enjoy casual food along with draft beers, classic and specialty cocktails!  We have live music, trivia and other fun events planned weekly so follow us on Instagram for updates! 

If you are looking for a great outdoor setting to eat, drink, or both, you will not be disappointed with our beautifully landscaped patio & and backyard spaces,  

Unfortunately, no. We do not offer pet friendly lodging simply because we are small and do not have the resources to accommodate furry family members.  It is paramount for us to maintain the highest standards in cleanliness and ensure guests with allergies, asthma and other health issues are not exposed to residual allergens.  We can only achieve this by enforcing this strict policy.  The window of time between check-outs and check-ins would not allow us the time needed to thoroughly clean the room to our standards by adding the need for deep cleaning, professional steam cleaners and added inspections.   

We are educated and versed in the difference between therapy pets and service dogs.  Service dogs are allowed as per the ADA and will be required to follow ADA guidelines.  Therapy pets are not included in the ADA and are not permitted to stay at the WHI.  We truly appreciate guest cooperation when it comes to this!

While breakfast is not included in our rates, we do offer a breakfast menu from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, Monday through Saturday. In addition, Banana Dog Cafe on the premise offers the best coffee and quality snacks.  Our breakfast paninis are a local favorite!

We have a 7 days advance notice cancellation policy for a full refund.  Once that period had passed, we can only provide a refund if any of the nights should get rebooked.  We recommend purchasing 3rd party travel insurance for your trip for those unforeseen circumstances that sneak up on us. 

No, we are located a short, walkable distance to both the ocean and the sound.  We are conveniently located on the corner of Persimmon and Ocean Trail, a mile south of the 4x4 beaches  and on the cusp of the historic village.  

Nope.  We originally planned on adding a pool to the property but have shifted to expand the serene landscaping making it a great place to relax and socialize.  This is currently a work in progress so more info and pictures coming soon.

Yes!  We have hosted wedding welcome parties, rehearsal parties, birthday parties, company parties and small weddings.  We will work with you to meet all your needs from decorations, food & bar offerings, to recommendations for everything in between.  The new backyard layout is coming out better than we even imagined for social gatherings!  We also can block rooms for your guests to stay.  Give us a call or stop by for more information and a tour!

Only when the Bankers "break out" for a night on the town in the winter.  This is to say, you will not likely see the horses from our inn as they live in the 4x4 beach communities.  You will need a 4x4 vehicle with the tires aired down to look on your own or schedule a horse tour where you will see these beauties and gain lots of knowledge about the horses and Corolla.   PLEASE FOLLOW THE LAWS AND RULES TO PROTECT THESE BEAUTIES!  You will find more information in our room binders.

We are a family friendly establishment and so children are indeed welcome!  To book a room however, we require guests to be at least 23 years of age.  We are not a teen/young college student destination for spring break or beach weeks.  Our check-ins are in person, and we may ask for government issued ID.
