One of the cheaper options in the OBX and nice location. Check in and check out were easy. The a/c worked great. Oddly, the towel folded for display had a stain right in the center. Wiped up some blood in the kitchen area. The top of the lampshade by the bed had a lot of dead bugs. The bottom of the shower curtain was moldy. The crown molding in the bathroom is hanging off.

Location is excellent as it’s directly across from the beach access. I wouldn’t say it was dirty, but not sure if I could call it clean either. The furnishings were a bit run down and the kitchenette had sparse supplies. You get what you pay for here

The room had black mold around the shower. Our room was NOT cleaned, the day after we arrived. We had to find staff and ask for clean towels , toilet paper and trash bags. We had to take out our trash, because no one came to the room to clean it.

Nice basic cottage right across from Jeanette’s Pier. Room was clean and well stocked with linens. Bed comfortable. Stove could use a cleaning but we just heated up pizza in it no biggie. They allow pets with a fee. Really great restaurant next door. Sam and Omie’s. Will stay here again

Has potential if taken care of properly. Lots of mold in bathroom, very limited soap and towels as no one stays on property. Virtual kiosk will check you in and out, very limited people on property.

Stayed in the handicap room with windows on 3 sides. Liked the four safety grab bars in the bathroom, hair dryer, ample quality clean towels, easy step-in shower. Beds were comfortable, clean quality linens. Kitchenette was clean, had stove, double sink, full size refrigerator, microwave, toaster, dishes, counter with bar stools. AC worked properly but was a bit noisy though it helped to drowned out the road noise due to room on end of building next to road. Parking next to room and handicap ramp is convenient. Front desk employee very helpful. Would stay here again.

The bed was excellent, but the room was tiny. The shower was small, but there was great water pressure. The television worked. We were at the beach most of the day, so having a great night's sleep was important. Perfect location. The staff was very kind.
