"Excellent location right on line of Nags Head, which has a path along the beach road. One assigned spot and a couple of guest parking spots, which is perfect if you plan to bring an extra car. House packed with all essentials and the laundry shed also had boogie boards, beach toys, beach chairs and more. If you bring a pup watch out for sand spurs on their paws… natural beach vegetation that can hurt when stepped on. Overall had a wonderful time!"

Ocean Sands Beach Boutique Inn - Stay At the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second time staying here and I will be back again. This hotel has multiple amenities, very kind & helpful staff, and beautiful rooms— I am very fond of the bathrooms in the rooms. Me and my partner met some very cool people we chilled and talked to by the pool which was nice. Also we love the free cookies & popcorn you get around 5. We will be back a third time for sure. We love this place and have been telling our friends about it aswell, very much a hidden gem. We are not 21 just yet but love traveling and this hotel being 18+ was very accommodating for us!"
