Love the swell! This was my second visit & I will always check availability & pricing when I go to southern OBX. Buxton is convenient to everything down there imo, & swell is in the middle of it all. You can walk to everything you need & several off road ramps within 5 min. The outdoor kitchen & kayaks available for the sound are also a great amenity. I’ll be back!

Room was nice except for the roaches. Killed 4 or 5 while I was there. Recommend deadbolts for the door. The only lock is on the doorknob.

This was one of the most relaxing vacations we have ever been on. The outdoor cooking facilities are great. We bought groceries and saved a ton of money. It was like camping minus the tent. But there are plenty of restaurants if that's more your thing. The remodeled room was tastfully done and had a spacious countertop area to store your pantry goods and also a four seat eating area. We ended up eating at the picnic tables by the cooking pavilion because it was beautiful weather for most of our trip. The owners are very friendly and if you need anything, they are always there to help. The staff that cleans the rooms are also very helpful and nice.
Let's talk about the pool... The owners should start a pool business on the side because that pool was perfect. The water was beautiful and clean and always the perfect temp. We spent a lot of time in the pool. Our twin boys would have spent the whole vacation in there if we didn't let them know about the beautiful beaches in the area. Lol
The art gallery/gift shop attached to the property was a great place to see local artist's work.
The free kayak rental was such an added value. We used them almost every day. The wind died down a little towards the end of our trip, and we were able to get out to the "Sound" and it was breathtaking. (Do not attempt if strong winds are blowing out to the sound because getting back in will not be easy)
We are planning on doing two weeks next year and definitely going to bring our fishing gear.

Swell motel was nice. One of the two room's air conditioner units would sometimes shut off throughout our stay. It was able to be turned back after resetting the small breaker. Our second room had some small bugs here and there. The staff was friendly and location was good. Bikes were a bit rusty and many had flat tires. Great eateries in the area and quick walk to the beach. Nice motel for the area though.

The air conditioner did not keep the room cool. They were spiders in the room. I know the motel is very old and I should have known this. The staff was very polite and helpful
