Best little spot in OBX
This was a absolutely perfect spot in OBX.... We have never been to Nags Head and def will be back again next year! The only thing was we didn't realize they didn't bring you more coffee and towels..We walked to 7- 11 store for coffee...so we went to office next day to get supplies and the office manager was very nice and accommodating! I would of like better chairs but it was still nice to sit there in the morning and drink our coffee..

Not what you expect.
I have to say this place was not what I was imagining when we booked at the price we paid. The Motel had that old Motel smell when you walked into the lobby. Pets are allowed and I am fine with that, but the couple next door their dog barked for 5 hours straight, the people staying allowed their dogs to do their business on the area where the grills and swings were and did not pick up, and management did not make them. The front door had a crack on the side that you could see daylight through. This room itself was not too bad, but very small and not enough lighting. Bathroom had a sink and no room to put anything to get ready with. The rooms were smoke free however, the maid was walking around going into room with a cigarette, and then when we needed her, she was not to be found. Overall I was not satisfied with this room, my wife and I got up and left around 8 when checkout was 11, just couldn't take anymore

We stayed previously and they have refurbished since our last stay. Nice, clean and you park close to your room. The beach is only steps away. Staff is quiet and does not bother you. We will be back .

Absolute love this place. The great service, pool, proximity to the beach. The rooms are clean, tv's actually work and there's cute retro touches. Sitting in the chairs outside our door at dusk is my idea of heaven. I would definitely come here again and again.

Nice place on the water. A little expensive, but being a last minute reservation we were willing to pay it. Coffee pot was missing a vital piece to make coffee. Had to wait till we left to get coffee. Beach was wonderful right outside the back door. Our next door neighbors were great, we sat out back playing guitar and singing with them. Felt family and friend friendly!

Perfect location, friendly staff, and comfy beds! We stayed in one of the side rooms, not directly oceanfront but it’s just a short walk through parking lot to be oceanfront. Rooms are kind of small but comfy. I enjoyed the adirondack chairs outside of each room to sit in as well. Definitely will look into staying here again in the future.
