This is a nice motel. It's not fancy, but is comfortable, clean, and is oceanfront. The kitchenette enabled us to not have to eat out every meal. It has a nice indoor pool and hot tub for the winter.The staff were great.

Everything was abundantly stocked and clean. We were too late in the season for the pool but had a good mile of beach to ourselves. Unfortunately the first floor keypad was none operational, and the desk in my room had the legs on backwards making it not functional.

OBX is the perfect place to unwind and relax while escaping the real world! You can clear your mind and refresh your soul. I always feel so relaxed in the Outer Banks!

I grew up visiting this beach in the summers and staying in this motel when I was a little girl myself, because it was one of my grandmothers favorite places to stay and now I get to share the same experience with my daughter!
