"This beautiful small hotel was just perfect for my daughter and myself for a short stay in Emerald Isle. It was exceptionally clean and had a perfect uncrowded pool, and a convenient breakfast on site. We would choose Lighthouse Suites again."

Beautiful area, lovely beaches, easy to bike and walk around in. They have trails set up for biking/walking and using golf carts to keep you off the main road. Lots of dining and shopping options. Will definitely go back again.
