Wonderful location, close to beach and anything else you could need. Very clean and well maintained. Staff was friendly and accommodating. I read some negative reviews but honestly I don’t know why this hotel would warrant them. I couldn’t imagine being here on the outer banks and being so put out by such trivial matters as in these reviews. Here is the deal. If you want an ocean front view then read the room description and book one. They are more expensive and rightly so. Otherwise, you will not have an ocean view because you booked the cheapest option. I requested ground floor and was accommodated. They had housekeeping daily. The room was clean when we got there. The air conditioner worked wonderfully. I think someone mentioned it was loud. I didn’t notice that. Even if I did I wouldn’t mention it. The dang thing kept the room cold like I like it. I don’t care how it sounds. The pool was lovely and not crowded. You could tell they took care of the grounds and maintaining the pool area. Now to the FREE continental breakfast. It’s offered from 7-10. They had PLENTY of options to choose from including waffles, breakfast sandwiches, cereal, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, fruit, breads for toast, pastries, coffee, juices and I’m sure other things I am forgetting. It was well stocked and those lovely ladies running it made sure to keep it that way. You could tell they were working hard to keep the guest happy. I saw complaints about this free confidential breakfast and seriously all I could do was shake my head. Lastly they have added (new since our last visit) a beautiful large gazebo style beach entrance. It’s gorgeous and has ample room and seating. The staff was very friendly. This was another negative in some reviews that I cannot wrap my head around. This was not our experience at all. The staff was nice and helpful.

The staff was very friendly and totally awesome.They catered to all my many questions prior to coming into town, answering them all right away through text messages, and went above and beyond the customer experience. We had a room with a view of the ocean, in which case the Inn is located on the beach. However, even if you dont have a room with a view, you only have to come out of the inn and walk to the back, and there is the beach.We got to see the sun rise in the mornings.They had nearly a full breakfast from 7 am to 10 am, with so many choices, and a pass to the YMCA, which were all included. They helped celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary. The inn is in a great location to everything. The housekeepers came in every day to clean and make our beds. Everything that was done made our time there very enjoyable and relaxing. We can't wait to stay again.

It was right on the beach, close to a Food Lion grocery store, ample free parking, had a wonderful free breakfast cafe, a beautiful pool, a convenient wooden staircase to the beach and a lovely deck with shade and wooden chairs overlooking the beach. The property was clean, well-maintained and had an outdoor picnic table and benches for smokers that was scrupulously kept clean. The parking lot and walkways were well lit at night. The front desk staff were friendly and knowledgeable; Mikaela, Amber and Christine were very welcoming and helpful in suggesting a nice restaurant where I would be comfortable as a solo woman and I had a delicious meal at the Blue Moon Grill. Melissa was my housekeeper; she was friendly, polite and professional.

Location was great, the beach was right there. You could always get a spot with your family. The staff were kind and exceeded expectations. I requested, not sure if it was in my booking, but requested a patio and a tub, and got both and was able to check in earlier then expected. That is the sign of a good hotel when you can check in early. The women were always cleaning, which I love. There are restaurants across the street, there is a brewery not too far in walking distance. many other beaches with20-30 min drive.

All of the remodeling looks FANTASTIC! We last visited in 2021 and the progress made to the hotel and grounds since then is phenomenal. The new gazebo and deck with the blue chair so beautiful. The friendliness dog hotel I’ve ever been in :) Also the coffee was great in the mornings at breakfast — tasty, strong, and always hot. Pool is nice , rooms and facilities are clean , staff is friendly , and views are beautiful
