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!

We stayed three nights in a Loft apartment with four grandkids The breakfast had something for all of us and it got our mornings off to a fast start. It was mid-April, so we were able to sleep with just our patio screen door closed and we slept listening to the waves pound on the beach all night!

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.
