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.

Heaven!
Absolutely amazing staff and hotel. Would like to extend my thanks to the front desk person who helped me and my husband. I ended up so very ill that we had to book another night because I couldn’t leave at our checkout time. She said to my husband “No Worries” and when she said that we were so relieved because we knew she meant it. So accommodating! If they can help you with something they will for sure. Love all the staff!

My new Outer Banks place to stay!
From the moment we checked in, everything was beyond out expectations. From the little extras such as wine and cheese, or chocolate chip cookies…to the yummy breakfast, everything was perfect. Our room was very clean, spacious, and the balconies were better than we could have imagined.
