Circa 1932. This Shingle-style inn features two stories of continuous verandas on all four sides. It is the last of the original beach hotels built on the Outer Banks. To save it from destruction, the Lawrences moved it to family property three miles south. During the midnight move, townsfolk lined the streets cheering and clapping to see the preservation of this historic building. First Colony boasts a pool, croquet court, private beach access and ocean and sound views from the second and third floors. Furnishings include antiques and traditional reproductions. There are Jacuzzis, kitchenettes, an elegant library and a sunny breakfast room.
