Erica the girl at check in was so incredibly helpful. Continental breakfast was better than most. Although our room did not face the ocean, the beach was an easy walk and most beautiful!

Everything was great! We were glad to have the refrigerator and range top. The beds and pillows were VERY comfortable. The outside picnic areas are so convenient. 100% would stay here again. If I really had to reach for a complaint it would be the water pressure in the shower. But even then, nice hot shower!!

This is going to be our go-to stay whenever we visit the Outer Banks, NC. I had a partial ocean view room, and it was lovely. Had the greatest sunrise experience on our private patio. The amenities of this place were great. Since I only stayed a day couldn't use most of it, so there will always be a next time.

Loved it here!

This was our first time staying at John Yancey and it didn’t disappoint us at all! The staff were amazing and helpful. The pool was cleaned every morning before opening so it was always refreshing. The hotel is extremely clean I didn’t see one bug during our visit. It’s very easy to get to the beach with your things and little ones.
