Did you know that Village Realty manages the historic First Colony Inn in Nags Head, NC? This charming 26 room bed and breakfast inn sits on four acres of manicured lawns and features wrap around porches and a private walkway to the beach. The calm peaceful atmosphere of the Outer Banks of North Carolina has attracted mainlanders since the turn of the 19th century. Nags Head, “the summer capital of Albemarle Society,” emerged as the center of summer activity in the 1930’s. Days were alive with sunbathing, fishing, boating and sight-seeing; nights were filled with dancing to big bands. It was in this era, in 1932, that the First Colony Inn was opened. With its wide two-story encircling verandas, the Shingle Style inn was known for many years as “the place to be” on the beach at Nags Head. An atmosphere of romance, charm and relaxation has always prevailed under its sweeping roof.
