NO HOT WATER IN SHOWER

I booked 2 rooms side by side oceanfront. Rooms were both clean and beds were super comfy and soft. One room had a chair, we wished the other one did but it didnt. Big walk in showers. Continental breakfast daily that was pretty good. Could walk right out onto the beach and the balcony views were awesome. But the best part was when we left my daughter had accidently left some pretty special toys under her pillow and forgot them. We called the hotel literally almost 12 hours later when she was getting ready for bed to see if they had found them. The manager said she would check in the morning. She called us at 6:45 the next morning to let us know they DID in fact find them, and they were nice enough to mail them back to us. I had no problem paying postage. Amazing staff!!! Thank you for a wonderful thanksgiving break!!!

We had a wonderful day hiking and climbing the sand dunes at Jockey’s Ridge. We checked in and the view of the ocean was beautiful. We went to dinner and came back and the moon,big and bright orange, was coming up over the ocean! Viewed the sunrise the next morning from our balcony. I highly recommend this place!

We booked Saturday night but decided to come a day early and we were accommodated with the same room for a great price. Property is great and convenient and the lady at breakfast each morning was just the best. Always a smile and a warm good morning, and kept everything clean and full.

Me and my wife decided to have a small getaway and chose this place to stay. We were NOT disappointed. It was very cozy and warming and of course on the beach.

The breakfast was sub-par. Microwaveable sausage sandwiches, few options for cereal or hot food.
1.0 / 5.0
Clean, great location. Thin walls, little sleep due to couple next door. Poor shower. Breakfast items quality not great and uncomfortable breakfast area.
2.5 / 5.0
We had a relaxing time. The gazebo by the beach was an incredible addition. Loved that!!! In the room, we had a kitchenette which we loved. There were ample pots and pans, although a larger frying pan would have been great, and cooking utensils. But no plates or cutlery of any kind. We had to run into the kitchen and take what we would use. If there is a kitchen, that should be supplied in the room, along with dish soap and sponge. We will know for next time.
2.0 / 5.0
Room and the building was vert clean. House keeping and breakfast staff are attentive. The pavillion for the ocean view is an added plus.
2.5 / 5.0
This place was perfect for a quick beach getaway. They have a wonderful beach and gazebo you can enjoy before the beach. I booked a partial view room and it was basically full ocean view. I loved Kill Devil Grill across the street for lunch/dinner also. Dan was awesome!! Can’t go wrong with the free breakfast or High Stack pancakes down the road!

Highly recommend this hotel to anyone going to Outer Banks. The service was excellent, the room was fantastic, just perfect, and looked exactly the same as the picture and description. The location couldn’t have been better. We couldn’t have asked for me.
Oh, and I LOVE supporting small businesses.
You will not be disappointed

Massive flooding in the Carolinas ruined our recent trip, every place we booked was reasonable in understanding our predicament, except this one.
Yes, by the letter of the law they had every right to hold us to our reservation and not refund us, but if this is the level of understanding they displayed then not only am I glad we didn't stay there but we won't consider them next time, and there will be a next time.

We come here all the time and have been big fans but the beds are getting worn out and are uncomfortable, room had sand on the floor and couch, breakfast room was out of coffee when I wanted it twice.

Loved the oceanfront balcony and stepping out of the building onto the sand.
0.5 / 5.0
The room we reserved was NOTHING like how it was portrayed online. Upon entering the elevator was very rundown and unsafe. The room we stayed in had roaches (which wasn’t discovered until the night before we left) as well as the entry light did not work. When brought up to the clerk while returning our room keys, there was no apologies or any type of action to make it right. The person basically smirked and acted like it was normal and blamed it on the air conditioner!! The amount we paid for what type of condition we stayed in was downright pitiful! I wouldn’t refer anyone to stay there.

No frills, but clean and comfortable. Continental breakfast. Housekeeping was exceptional. The outside gazebo was swept clean daily. Hallway and stairs, vacuumed and mopped. Nice ocean view.
4.0 / 5.0
The room was just like the one shown in the photos. The building is old, but what I could see is that it has new paint on the walls of the room. The room was small, it had the necessary space for two people one night’s stay, the beds were very comfortable, the space was very clean. I would definitely recommend this place.

I loved everything about the ocean view and balcony
3.0 / 5.0
Noisy during our stay. We were right by the front door and heard people coming in and out all night long. Otherwise, it was a good location and room.
2.0 / 5.0
Had an issue with our door lock not operating correctly and they could not fix it so they moved us up to an oceanfront room.
1.0 / 5.0
I decided to go with this hotel after much searching and asking around, as we are new to the OBX region, but not NC beaches. It seemed quaint, mid-priced, and of course - oceanfront. The hotel room was aged and not well taken care of. The front door needed to be pushed hard to latch, the AC unit was extremely noisy, flaking paint and warped laminate everywhere. The worst was insulation and the lack of noise reduction between rooms - our neighbors were extremely loud at times and we could hear everything. It made getting my kids down to sleep very difficult. It also presented a challenge when our neighbors would smoke outside the room. The rooms might be nonsmoking but if they step out and it seeps into my room then what's the point? The other occupants seemed careless, messy, loud, and sloppy. It just never seemed worth the $150/night.
3.0 / 5.0
The room was clean but the property could use an update. There were no grab bars or anti-slip mats for the tub which was a little precarious when showering. Otherwise the location was great!

Rooms were exactly as they looked online! The room smelled amazing and clean when we checked in. If I had to give one con, it would be they don’t offer beach towels! Other than that, we loved our stay.
