We wanted to check out the Outerbanks on our way home to New England from South Carolina. Wish we were there for more than an overnight. The hotel right on the beach with an ocean view balcony was a beautiful stop on a long car trip.

Would like answers
When we arrived, we were an hour early for check in, but the staff checked us in. They were very friendly.what I did not understand or still do not understand, is why I was charged a separate 200 dollar fee on top of the remaining balance, that was never explained and Never received a receipt explaining the charges. The room air conditioner did not work the entire stay.

Hidden Gem!
A hidden gem! Older hotel, however, the higher floors offer great ocean views. The breakfast buffet was great, however, there were no available trays. Staff are super friendly and willing to answer any questions. Will stay at this location again.

And we’ve been coming here on and off once a month for 3 to 4 day weekends and it’s always been a pleasure. The staff and Managment have been very hospital. Wealth and breakfast is fantastic.
