Loved the place. Deedra at front desk checked us in and was delightful. Gave us great dinner recommendations. Room is decorated in a clean crisp beach decor but in no way gaudy. Balcony looked right out over the dunes at the ocean. Breakfast was very good and staff in breakfast room were always friendly. Definitely will go back.

Fantastic clean very friendly environment! Would highly recommend to friends and family. Unfortunately for medical reasons we had to leave a day early and they were not able to refund our last day which was very u fortunate. We had to stay at another hotel near hospital so it was a costly double pay hotel stay.

This property was a wonderful place to stay! It offers fantastic access to the beach, and I really enjoyed the indoor and outdoor pools. The corn hole boards were a fun touch for entertainment. The complimentary breakfast was tasty and satisfying, with options like biscuits, sausage, bacon, eggs, muffins, and more. There were a few minor issues with housekeeping missing my room for cleaning, but overall, I had a great experience. I would definitely recommend this hotel to all my family and friends, and I look forward to coming back again!

Charming hotel with amazing views

We were only passing through the Outer Banks for one day, and we really wanted a hotel with oceanfront views—this charming little seaside spot absolutely exceeded our expectations. The room was spacious, spotless, and the views were simply breathtaking. For a waterfront property, the value was incredible. There were plenty of restaurant options just a short drive away, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. We especially loved the evening wine reception and fresh-baked cookies—such a thoughtful, cozy touch. The hotel has both indoor and outdoor pools (only the hot tub is indoors), which worked perfectly for us. The little boardwalk leading down to the beach was adorable, and everything about our stay just felt easy and relaxing. I wouldn’t even consider staying anywhere else if I came back to the area. It’s a small, charming place with million-dollar views—and the beds were super comfy, which is always a top priority for me.
