Mini vacation to get away from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind and was staying here did the trick. A wonderful stay and the perfect location! Very friendly staff! Only downside was parking, but other than that will come back.

Great place

It was a great place to stay. The staff was great too. Only complaint about the room is the floor was filthy. I know we're on the beach and sand gets everywhere and you can't get it out but we couldn't walk with no shoes in there from the moment we got there. Also the pool was closed and they were doing construction on it while we were there which was kind of annoying. Breakfast was great as far as hotel breakfasts go and we had a minor issue that the staff addressed immediately and efficiently. Definitely would recommend.

Relaxing stay

Such a clean hotel right on the beach. Beautiful and large gazebo overlooking the beach where you can get out of the sun or watch the sunset. Great location; the grill across the street was the best restaurant we ate at in the area. Staff was great. Absolutely no complaints.

Not too great

The staff was wonderful and were very attentive to problems. No pool in operation, Tv that was impossible to figure out, toilet that wasn’t flushing. Our room was on the construction side where there was a giant crane working next door. That being said, the gazebo on the beach was lovely.

What a wonderful time my husband and I had! The room was clean and we were close to restaurants, shopping and just a few steps to the beach. This is actually the 2nd time going to Nags Head and we stayed here both times. Can’t wait to go again!!❤️
