My family and I live in the beautiful Mid Hudson Valley, situated about 80 miles north of NYC, but consider Corolla our home away from home. We discovered OBX back in 2003 and returned annually before finally deciding to purchase CrabaCabana in 2020. We are excited to share our lil' slice of the island with guests, family and friends. If you are an outdoor lover like us, we are sure you will love all that Corolla has to offer.
