The stay was nice. The room was beautiful and loved the kitchen. Being able to have this kitchen saved a ton of money as I was able to cook we meals instead of going out for every meal. Breakfast was awesome and have a variety of food breakfast items to choose from daily. Very close to the beach and literally has its own access to the beach. It’s my first time at the Outer Banks. Being we only go on vacation once a year at the same time. Going to different hotels this was the best room ever. Only thing I hope can be improve is the WIFI. WiFi sucked and would go in and out and at night after 8pm seemed to just cut out and then was in and out throughout the day. I plan on booking next year and hope the WIFI is better as that’s an important part to us. Other than that everything was perfect.

We’ve stay here a couple times in the past and have never been let down. The entire staff is so helpful. There were staff member performing clean task constantly throughout the day. Beach is right out the door….or enjoy the pool! This hotel is smaller than those “chain stays” which is nice. They pay attention to detail. Awesome breakfast to start your day…..afternoon wine social if that’s your thing….and cookies to end your day. I’m sure we’ll be back!!

Would not recommend

The loft room we stayed in smelled musty and could not get the space in the loft area to cool despite AC on high, tower fan and ceiling fan on too. The tv streaming was spotty because the internet connection was in and out. Worst of all the room had a bug infestation. Management was informed of the issue and sprayed room but problem still persisted. No room change was offered nor a refund.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Centrally located to wonderful options like Jeanette’s Pier, Wright Brothers Memorial, Jockey Ridge Park/Dunes, Wild Horse tours, Bodie and Currituck Lighthouses, and delicious restaurants. Also, the amenities are great: onsite delicious breakfast, 5pm wine with snacks and 8pm cookies. The only thing I would change would be to have a larger bathroom, but we loved staying here. We would definitely stay here again.
