Shackleford Banks Vacations from $741

Magnolia House exceeded our expectations in atmosphere, accommodations, location, service, food, and smiling faces. Oh, and the magnolia tree, a magical place for a cup of coffee. Thank you so much, Sean and Nicki. We look forward to visiting again.

Lovely room and bathroom, but hotel is not in a location that you can walk to historic Beaufort. Our displeasure with hotel started with being greeted by a teenager wanting to park our car or moving it off site. Having been hiking beach locations up the NC coast, our belongings were not amenable for his service. When I went inside to register, neither clerk recognized me because they were watching a wedding party take pictures in the lobby. We decided then we would not partake in any meals or paid activities at the hotel. It would be beneficial to your guests to offer them the right to park on the hotel property proper (they made us park at rarely used dirt lot hundreds of yards away). Even if you charged an additional $15 per night just to park, which was the cost for valet (tipping not included), it would allow your guests the freedom to come and go without waiting in line for their car. Do better with your logistics and customer service.

Place was just ok for a couple night stay. You have to go to another loction to pick up and drop off key. Staff there were friendly. Not to far away, within walking distance. Couple blocks away from waterfront area. Bed was ok, couch to sit on was not very good. Room was roomy. Shower flow for hot water was not very good. There is a decent size outdoor sitting area. You will hear noise. I don't think I would stay here again.

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.
