This is the absolute best place to stay for a beautiful ocean view. This is my second time here and will be visiting again soon!

Definitely coming back. Down at a quiet dead end with beach access

Great location with spacious rooms. Indoor pool on site. Great views

The property is old and run down. The unit itself was outdated, had cracks, moldy spots, needed more and fresher towels, would've liked an actual blanket since it was cold when we went. The couch in the living room was very small and very stained. Balcony was smaller than it seemed in the pictures. No extra toilet paper, no extra trash bags, no hands soap in kitchenette, 1 tiny shampoo and no conditioner. It was a 1 star hotel in my opinion. Location was great but this "resort" is no resort.

Great beach!

Rooms could be cleaner, more sheets/blankets in the room

My wife and i enjoyed our stay! Staff was great, location was perfect. It was the last resort on the north end and the sand was the best and no crowds. The only negative (a small one) was that the hot tub was not working. It was our first time in North Carolina and we would recommend this place to everyone that will ask.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Good room. Indoor and outdoor pool plus very easy access to beach (2 ramps!) were key highlights. Parking was easily accessible and always lots of spaces. Gym was a bit bare and ice machine on 6th floor broken but these are trivial inconveniences. Overall, a great getaway!

Pictures made the rooms seem a little more up to date than they were. Because we were there during weekday and just before peak season no on-site dinner options. However, had a nice stay for one night and was relaxing.

This location is great for some quiet beach time. The area around it is not very crowded. Views from the room were fantastic.

For people who appreciate peace and quite and lovely beaches.

Love the view. One sink didnt work. Restauraunt hours uncertain and limited.
