Unique! You are right above the waves crashing all day long! Then miles of open beachfront to walk, look for shells, just enjoy. Jamie at the front desk is warm and friendly and so determined to make sure you have an awesome experience. The property has the gorgeous weathered wood so typically Outer Banks.

Like ocean side room and more remote location for beach access. The shower in the room did not drain properly. Pool was closed.

Hotel si under construction and it looks like they are remodeling everything. The rooms on the water are not rentable at this time due to remodel. There was maybe one that was finished. I think they are working hard to bring the property back to former glory but they have a way to go. Rooms were clean but very basic bedrooms. The upper decks need repair. Staff were very nice and helpful.

Property was suffering beach erosion after the winter and early storms on the Oceanside. But spectacular view from room and deck on the Oceanside. We should have asked them for a regular coffee pot. Very disappointed that the hot tub was not even warm. We went for beach horseback ride and for 62 yo we sure could have used it. Mgmt tried to get propane for hot tub . But just couldn’t.

Our first room was musty smelling as if it had been under water . But the staff was fantastic and upgraded our room . I know they are dealing with flooding issues . Great job by the staff

The hotel was right on the ocean. It was clean but needs quite a bit of updating

Family of 4 with two young kids arrived at 6 air condition in room was not working. At 9:30 air condition still had not been repaired, Had to ask for another room. Rooms were very outdated, broken and missing blinds, broken tiles, leaking shower. Rooms are only a few feet from the ocean which is pretty cool, but keeping sand out of the room is gonna be impossible.

We reserved an oceanfront room. Got there no oceanfront rooms available. Downgraded to a room across the street. Parking lot view. 4 days watching a septic field being installed. Had to drive 2 miles to find a beach. There oceanfront won't be available for weeks because of sand erosion project by the Govt. They are still advertising oceanfront rooms on your website. Thank you for letting me vent.

It’s truly a 2star hotel. For the price it was not worth the stay.

Kyle • Family Trip

The customer service was great but the amenities did not match our expectations. First the pool on site was not open which is one item my family looked forward to using. Second, the kitchen lacked basic utensils. More specifically, there were no forks or other basics. The last point was the television did not work and the furniture was soiled. I would consider staying here again but I would plan appropriately.

Sand everywhere, but not really the fault of the hotel.. It is in a sand dune. Parking limited. Room not fresh, decorative pillows on bed smelly. One sink in bathroom, no storage except corner shelf on back wall. Shower curtain dirty, faucet dripping, moldy caulking. No network TV, Roku streaming only. Nice to set on porch and watch the waves. Great access to wide open beach with many shells.

There is no beach front due to erosion. Ocean view? - the ocean was going under the motel. Could not regulate room temperature and windows would not open to catch the ocean breeze. Floor by entrance door was damaged , lifted, cracked and soft. Don’t let the website pictures fool you!
