Shackleford Banks Vacations from $1,046

The owners went above and beyond in every way possible. No details were missed. The house was beautiful; the hosts gracious and helpful, and the food was divine. There were cookies, filtered water, and wine in the room for us- it was decorated beautifully and the bathroom was fully stocked with anything we could need.

The standout feature of this hotel is the shower—spacious, with plenty of hot water, and easily one of the best I’ve experienced. The room itself was large, clean, and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed that made for a relaxing stay. The property is located in a quiet, somewhat remote area along the water (not a beach), offering pretty views and even the unique sight of wild horses nearby. Check-in was quick and efficient, and both the hallways and room were kept in excellent condition. One thing to note is that parking is about a 4–5 minute walk away and requires crossing the street unless you opt for valet service at an additional cost. Overall, a clean, comfortable, and peaceful place to stay.

Kate and Dustin were terrific hosts and made our stay so enjoyable. The inn is perfectly located within walking distance of the best restaurants, the marina, a coffee shop, and even the brewery next door. Our room was cozy, with a very comfortable bed and a spacious bathroom. The grounds were beautifully maintained and offered several inviting outdoor seating areas to relax and enjoy. Breakfast each morning was delicious, and the coffee was always fresh. Quiet and charming. We truly had a wonderful stay and would definitely return.

It was a very clean and nice, spacious room! All the staff we talked to were very sweet
