"Clean rooms and very friendly staff. The pool and hot tub were also well kept. The beach directly in front of the hotel is not good due to huge sandbags trying to combat the erosion but a short 75 yards down the beach is great. They have rooms with full kitchens and also just kitchenette for short stays. Its a quite little beach town worth checking out"
"The rooms were nice and clean, plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets provided even pool towels made it very nice and efficient. Although we did have one staff member and older lady was not very pleasant at any day. Very rude seem to be angry all the time."
"The best spot to stay hands down on the OBX. Family friendly, pet friendly, live music, hospitality that doesn’t disappoint. The amount of toys for the pools for kids is amazing especially if you didn’t bring toys for the water. Plenty of picnic tables, a fish cleaning station, and even an air pump for after airing down for a nice little drive on the beach. An incredible find & already looking to come back!"
