The price was right for a beach location. Unfortunately, the air conditioner was so loud off and on all night that I hardly slept. Glad it was just one night.

We arrived at 4:30 to check in and came to the clised office to be greeted by a sign that said to check in at the hotel next door. Drove next door and presented to the feont deak only to be met by someone who did not know why I wpuld be checking in over there. I called the # that was on the note of the front door of the original hotel and this receptionists phone rang however she said that wasnt the correct #. The receptionist got her manager and when the manager came in she checked in someone else thinking it was me. I eventually got checked in and got my room code (which she announced to the entire lobby). Other than that mess of a check in....the motel was perfect. Laid back. Local. Great neighbors. Great beach access. We will be returning.

Nice old school Nags Head accomodations. The rooms are decent, however the bathrooms need some maintenance. There was some mold in the bathroom due to the amount of moisture and no vent. The beds were absolutely HORRIBLE and need to be replaced. The pool was nice and the property was set up well with a nice cozy community feeling. All of the staff we encountered were extremely friendly and helpful.

Clean facility. Check in was easy with room code. Access directly to the beach. Nice pool. Wish they have a hot tub. The bed is spring though so it's a little uncomfortable to sleep in. Everything else is great. Thank you!

Loved our time at SandSpur. Our room was spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable. The pool looked clean and well maintained. We spent most of our time at the beach so we didn't use the pool, but it was nice to have if we wanted it. We cook almost every night so the kitchen was nice. It was clean and all the appliances worked. The room we had only the bare minimum of cooking utensils, but we made do with what was there. If you need more than one pot and pan you should plan to bring your own. The only complaint, that's not a real complaint but suggestion, is that there are no water hoses for quick rinsing of beach equipment near the units. It would be nice to have a way to rinse off boards and chairs before packing. In all, the place was perfect for our last relaxing vacation of the summer. I do look forward to staying with them again in the future.

Staff was friendly and the room was as described or better. Keep in mind this is an older facility, however appears to be maintained and upgraded much nicer than others in the area I have stayed at recently. I would definitely stay again.

Older cottages but clean, quiet, and safe! We were texted our door code since the office was closed when we arrived. Instructions were left on the table for us. Our dogs were able to join us, which was so nice! The room Had a broom and a vacuum for the sand. Book and beach access were awesome amenities!
