Our stay of one night was so-so. Positives: located in a popular area, liked being able to walk out to the beach, the weight room, beds were comfortable, friendly staff, cucumber water and breakfast was really good with lots of choices. Negatives: pools looked decent but very small and too crowded to use, the building itself was not well maintained and didn't feel that safe with people passing by, the bathroom was tiny and the front door opened into it which was awkward, the carpet was damp and made our socks wet and dirty. The back door with access out to the dunes was nice, but we were unable to lock the door since it had a separate key. It would have been more convenient to be able to come and go from there as well, rather than having to go around from the front door to get to the beach. Enjoyed sitting out there with the table and chairs though.

We have used this hotel the last 3 years and love it. This time was a little disappointing in the housekeeping. We stayed 3 nights and the room was never cleaned. Towels removed once and had to go to the front desk for supplies. I still love the hotel though. Great placement, 2 pools, hot tub and the location on the beach.

Room was wonderfully decorated with "beach" artwork, looked like it was freshly painted the week before we arrived, good selection of pillows. Private balcony nice for glass of wine out of the sun. Bathroom was small, but who spends time in there given the beach and outdoor gazebo on the dunes. Will definitely go back.

Go to place for our vacations to OBX, this is the third time we have stayed here. Is right on the beach, great views for the sunrise. Can even see the dolphins swimming in the morning. Several restaurants are close by. About a 45 minute drive to Corolla and 90 minute drive to Ocracoke. 20 minute drive to Roanoke if you want to go to the aquarium or see the Lost Colony play. Breakfast is good in the morning. Would recommend.
