This inn is right next to the beach for the easiest access! The rooms were nice and big and there was so much space for us to move around. The windows also let in so much light! They supplied utensils and some cups so we didn't have to acquire all that. The shower was nice and roomy and all the closets had multiple hangers. The staff was also super helpful for any questions we had. My daughter loved the pool the most and could've stayed there all week. We will definitely be back!

We are definitely being nitpicky here but maybe newer cooking items (Teflon and scratched pans are scary) and better mattresses. We bring our own mattress toppers every time we go for all our beds. Also- the fridge kept shocking my partner. I don't know what he was doing exactly but since there wasn't so much shelving to put all of our kitchen items, we had to put some on top of the refrigerator. when he would reach to grab something, he would get shocked. almost every time.

Location is great. Right next to Nags Head pier. Friendly staff. Pet friendly. Keurig in room. Pots & pans, plates, dishes, cups, bowls. Full refrigerator. Microwave. Small electric stove. Hairdryer under sink in bathroom.

Thought there was daily maid service. Exchanged towels by leaving them outside door. Emptied our own trash twice in the week. Swept my own floor to keep up with the sand. I didn’t ask about maid service so maybe it was my misunderstanding but I was fine with just getting clean towels in a bag they left outside my room. No one has to come in my room so that was the upside of that.

Everything was great. Room was nice and big. I would definitely stay there again.

My only complaints were (minor)...website said blow dryer was included and there wasn't one...I didn't pack mine. Gates required two hands to open...one to pull knob up and one to pull door open...hard to do if your hands are full of luggage, which mine were because I hate making multiple trips to vehicle. Unfortunately they are closed in the off season. I wanted to come back the first weekend in November but was told they would be closed until next year. So I will have to find somewhere else to stay. Lastly, in the evening we wanted to sit on this nice deck that overlooks the beach but it was pitch dark up there...o lights whatsoever. We ended up sitting on the beach over by the pier restaurant that was lit

Beautiful pool and great location to the beach. Staff was very nice and pleasant. Bed was comfy and the kitchenette was a great thing. Nicely stocked kitchen with everything to make a meal. Not food but utensils wise. Plenty of parking. Close to many of the sights you may want to see. The front desk area had little things for you if you forgot something. I liked the sign in the kitchen encouraging people to clean up after themselves. The good with the bad overall a nice spot.

The room was similar to the online photo but not the same room.however the bathroom had mold around the entrance to it. The room smelled like mold and mildew. I had to buy a plug in and febreeze. You could see the paneling buckling because of the dampness in the room. The floors always felt moist. AC needs a cleaning, behind the tv very dusty top of fridge dusty. Plate in microwave was not proper so it did not turn.

This is a very retro place and I liked it. My room was very comfortable, everything worked, nothing leaked. Linens on bed were new and comfy. Extra towels and coffee available at the front desk. A great place to rest after a beach day. I lost my key and used the self service kiosk to-talk to the nice girl on the video screen who processed me a replacement key that popped out of the slot in the kiosk. Very cool. They give you a broom to sweep any sand you might track in. Furniture outside the door for relaxing outside at the end of the day was a nice touch.

Thin towels. Noisy AC but it provided white noise to sleep to. Tight parking but the lot was never that full.

The location of the hotel was what we liked just a short walk up the stairs and over the dune was the beach. It was a nice quiet area. Being by the fishing pier with a small store and restaurant was nice and convenient. The staff also provided a broom and dust pan in your room because you are at the beach and no matter how much you try not too you bring sand back to the room with you.

The only problem was the parking, it’s a small area for parking kind of made it not easy to get in and out but we made it work.

The property is well maintained, I love the option of having a one bed room apartment which includes kitchen, definitely a plus. The Staff are very accommodating and very helpful. I loved how we have a private access to go to the beach. There’s also an Ice Machine outside. I will definitely recommend this place, Mike the front desk person was amazing.

The property is small, therefore there is limited parking, I believe they have another place where the guest could also park. The property has 2 floors, I think they need to let other guest know to be mindful of other guest, specially the one that are staying downstairs. My last night here was not great only because we didn’t get any sleep due to other guest playing music and walking non stop. There should be. A curfew to stop the music. We literally heard everything that’s how loud it was and the music was playing until dawn. Hopefully this property can remind other guest to be quiet at a certain time.

It was a cute little room. Very close to the pier.

It was an oceanfront room technically but due to the dunes an grass so high on them you couldn't see the ocean.
