This is a great location to Jeanettes pier. But the cottages could do with a few minor upgrades to make the stay so much better The kitchens could do open concept for their cupboards because every time you open the dish cupboards in the cottage kitchenettes it smells so musty. If the dishes were on above counter open concept shelving it would get more airflow. The hide a bed mattresses could do with replacing. They were uncomfortable. But the regular beds are very comfortable. Like i said great place but in need of a few minor upgrades. The staff was excellent! Location excellent for my needs! Thank you

We like the quaint, beachy feel of the hotel, and the views from the 2nd and 3rd floor deck of the ocean. It's very walkable to Jennettes pier, stores and restaurants. We have stayed here probably a dozen times over the years.

The room was filthy. The door to the room had a hole at the bottom right where insects can easily go in. The owner of the motel said to use a towel. Room was very dirty including the bed. I reserved a king size room and was given a 2 double bed room. I asked for another room and was told none was available. I asked for a refund and I was told no refund. I gave the owner the and left.

Cute little beach place!

We enjoyed our stay! Small place but clean and cozy. Perfect for a long weekend at the beach for our family of 3. In walking distance of a beach access (across the road) and several restaurants and ice cream shops. Highly recommend!

The location of this property is fantastic! The condition has much to be desired. Housekeeping doesn’t come during your stay. If you need garbage taken out you can ask with 24 hour notice but that didn’t even occur for us- it was the day after that. Staff are there during certain hours and you can serve yourself to additional towels, TP which is fine but I felt like the place was grimy. I realize that being next to the beach and the high humidity doesn’t help but the sand sticks to everything. You’re constantly sweeping and with no rugs there’s no where to actually get control of it so it ends up in bed. Large hairballs in closet. Stains on shower curtain. Surfaces were sticky. Dust buildup in all corners. Kitchen lacked an adequate trash can. Pictures of property showed a table with chairs but we didn’t have a table or chairs. We had a counter with too few barstools for who we registered in the cottage. No surfaces to put a suitcase or anything on really. Not enough places to hang towels which stinks when housekeeping only comes after the stay. No plug in next to sink/mirror. If your styling tools have a long enough cord you can plug in bathroom and wind around the door.

The cabin was a perfect place to go to sleep after staying out all day on the beach. Close to Fat Boys for ice cream and some of our favorite restaurants. Although advertised as “soundproof walls” our experience was otherwise, could definitely hear our neighbors very clearly through the walls. No complaints, would stay there again with my wife on another long weekend on the Outer Banks!!

Dirty... Mold on walls, dried contact lens on the nightstand, as well as stains, property clearly had not been cleaned. Outside the hotel there was trash and debris. It felt so unsanitary, we ended up checking out about 45 minutes later and getting another hotel room.

Pet friendly property, beach access close by/walking distance, staff was friendly, I would definitely go back. The only thing I didn’t like was that not all the rooms had a full size fridge/ some had mini fridges so it’s harder to manage when you have a longer stay. Our stay was wonderful overall!

The room was dirty. I had to call the staff right after my check in because there were crumb type objects all over the bed UNDER the blanket. No hot water. The floor was sticky and pieces were loose and kept popping up. It also smelled like they just spray chemicals and don’t actually clean. I’ve never left a bad review before but this place was not ok. It’s close to the beach, that’s the only positive
