One night, great people, very friendly and hospitable! ##### Patricia Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Returned 40 years later from our 1st stay, when it was in its original ocean front location, to this 2025 stay. Classic, historic, dedicated beach access, lovely grounds, lush landscaping and gardens, and a great vibe. Rocking chairs and porch swings harken back to the good ‘ol days. Wonderful breakfasts by Chef Georgia, with eclectic culinary creations. Just love this ‘old woodie’ hotel in the original classic OBX architectural style. ![Entrance side](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/27c16eec-0397-4631-abc7-97c7ba550520-1749489895646.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Beach side](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1ea12927-e2f4-48e6-913a-95489ec20829-1749489899174.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Nightly glow](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e24e6326-b135-45d5-bc38-da444e4fc307-1749489899549.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Beach side](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/40702e4b-72be-4221-8950-e9650c3d96f1-1749490066873.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Scott Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shane 8 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice, well kept.

Loved that they had beach chairs to take with as well. The property was beautiful and loved the free breakfast. ##### Allison Stayed 1 night in May 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 17 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property is very quaint and historic. This is definitely not your modern, run of the mill hotel but it is very cool. You feel like you are walking back in time to the 1930s and 40s. The breakfast was fabulous. Bed was comfortable and room was spacious. Access to the beach was convenient. ##### Christopher Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine 15 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super cute inn!

The property is beautiful and it has a great path to the beach which is wonderful. Breakfast is very nice and so is the afternoon wine and snacks selection. This place is highly recommended if you’re planning a trip to The Outer Banks. ##### Terri Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Beacon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Morehead-City-Hotels-Salter-Path-Inn.h10655047.Hotel-Information) > - [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > - [Lighthouse View Oceanfront Lodging](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buxton-Hotels-Lighthouse-View-Oceanfront-Lodging.h13278801.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Place Chapel Hill / Southern Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chapel-Hill-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Chapel-Hill-Southern-Village.h16543920.Hotel-Information) > - [Tesla MedBed Center, East Dubuque](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-Dubuque-Hotels-Tesla-MedBed-Center.h1076011.Hotel-Information) > - [Folkestone Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cherokee-Hotels-Folkestone-Inn.h1551198.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > - [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > - [Days Inn and Suites by Wyndham Oxford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Henderson-Hotels-Days-Inn-And-Suites-By-Wyndham-Oxford.h15792345.Hotel-Information) > - [Relaxing, Cozy, Beautiful 3 BR Log Cabin in Blowing Rock/Boone NC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boone-Hotels-Relaxing.h33311517.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks/Kitty Hawk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kitty-Hawk-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Outer-BanksKitty-Hawk.h1445722.Hotel-Information) > - [Trailborn Surf and Sound, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wilmington-Hotels-Blockade-Runner-Beach-Resort.h15691.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express Plymouth by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plymouth-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Plymouth.h662090.Hotel-Information) > - [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Salisbury by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salisbury-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Salisbury.h14769213.Hotel-Information) > - [Riverside Log Cabins](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boone-Hotels-Riverside-Log-Cabins.h22870419.Hotel-Information) > - [American Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hickory-Hotels-American-Motel.h15676263.Hotel-Information) > - [A View for Two: Tiny House with BIG VIEWS](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fleetwood-Hotels-A-View-For-Two-Tiny-House-With-BIG-Views.h46979075.Hotel-Information) > - [Asheville-Million Dollar Views, Hot Tub, Theatre Room, Billiards, Sleeps 16](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Asheville-Hotels-Asheville-Million-Dollar-Views.h33570667.Hotel-Information) > - [Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cherokee-Hotels-Harrahs-Cherokee-Casino-Resort.h13319510.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Southport - Oak Island Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolivia-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Southport-Oak-Island-Area.h8282528.Hotel-Information) > - [LOG CABIN + MOUNTAIN VIEWS!
