The Sea Ranch Resort
"I didn’t even get to stay because our flight got canceled and we couldn’t reschedule. I know it is part of their policy to not get a refund but with the amount of money I spend they could’ve at least given me something back. I did their whole process to of trying to get a refund back but with them stating it works for less than 1% of people I didn’t have much hope. I’m hoping to go there in the future but not anytime soon with the amount of money I lost."
Scarborough Inn
Lighthouse View Oceanfront Lodging
"Perfect place in Outerbanks. Enjoyed the secluded and private beach. Excellent sunrise view.. Perfect place for families with kids and pets."
John Yancey Oceanfront Inn
"The hotel is located right on the beach, so the location is the best. The rooms look old, but they are clean. The breakfast is also good."
Mia's Boutique Hotel
"The room was very clean and well-equipped. It was also very close to the Bund, the beach, and the National Coastal Park."
Heart of Manteo
"The rooms are very basic and have an old-school charm. Our room was satisfactorily clean and had an air purifier in addition to the heat/ac unit, which was appreciated. A hair dryer is provided as well as liquid hand soap and body wash mounted on the walls. No suitcase stand is provided but there is one chair in the room. Check in was easy and we left the door keys on the dresser at checkout. Our room was located around the back of the motel where it seemed that there were long-term guests that were loud late into the evenings and early in the mornings while the front of the motel appeared to be mostly empty, but the location on Manteo was nice and we were able to walk to several nearby stores and restaurants."
Holiday Inn Express NAGS HEAD OCEANFRONT by IHG
"Very comfortable feeling"
Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks/Kitty Hawk
Shutters on the Banks
"My wife and I went to the Outer Banks for a day and a half adventure that involved needing a hotel room. I chose shutters based on being located near one of the music venues we would be visiting. We are both free pleased with our stay. It was of course in the winter and off-season so we didn’t have any crowds anywhere which was perfect for us. It was everything we needed and expected and nothing we didn’t need. It was perfect."

Hilton Vacation Club Beachwoods Kitty Hawk
"We were happy overall with the accommodations. Check in was simple, the room was spacious and beautiful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The kitchen had all the necessities, there was a washer and dryer and they provided detergent. The bathrooms had a hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. Very nice to see/have. I was a bit put off by the ants and spiders I killed in the room and the mouse droppings in the kitchen cabinets. Again overall great weekend get away."
Tar Heel Motel
Sea Horse Inn and Cottages
"Great stay."
Mariner Inn and Suites
Hatteras Island Inn
"Great price. Room was outdated but very clean and staff was very friendly. It was close to amenities. Very comfotable room. We would book again."
Avon Motel
Tower Circle Motel
"Arrived late and found the room at 80 degrees and smells like pets. Exterior is very run down…notice they have no exterior pictures. The AC is an old window unit which cannot cool the room. The pillows are flat and uncomfortable. No shampoo provided. Contacted the owner who text me a tutorial on pleating old AC window units. Offered a full refund if the AC acts up again. Paid $200 for the night. NOT WORTH IT AT ALL. STAY AWAY."
TownePlace Suites Outer Banks Kill Devil Hills
Holiday Inn Express KITTY HAWK – OUTER BANKS by IHG
"Great location, easy to find and everything 'as advertised'. Decor in room was very nice, seemed updated! We had very little shower pressure, yet it was enough to actually 'shower'. I'm glad the window shade was heavy duty, it kept the heavy sun out to be as cool as possible. The air was a bit loud and literally hot/cold- we just kept it cooler than preferred to ensure it didn't get/stay hot. it was a GREAT touch they left it on cool for our arrival- thank you! Pool looked inviting, we just couldn't make time to use it. We booked it last minute to join a family vaca opportunity- they were in a bigger house up north, we got as close as we could- great option. We'll be back!!"
The Inn on Pamlico Sound
Hotel Manteo, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
Swell Motel
The Sanderling
Colonial Inn
"Our stay was fine with the exception of someone from the office knocking on our door a half hour prior to the time to check out to see if we were going to check out (which we were in the process of packing and almost done). We felt that was rude especially since I had already taken some luggage to our vehicle."
Surf Side Hotel
Comfort Inn on the Ocean
"It's okay in all aspects."
