My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Inn. The blueberry pancakes were heavenly!! (and breakfast is included in the cost!) We had dinner there two out of the three nights and the food was delectable. In fact we were sorry we didn't have our third dinner there as well. We stayed in the Jasmine room which was... More

Hotel staff was amazing and super friendly - Tasha greeted us with a smile and a tour. Kyle was great to always wiling to help and Jennifer was the most amazing wedding coordinator imaginable. The rooms were comfortable, fresh and clean. Savina was very attentive to our needs and we were constantly being waited on. FANTASTIC. We will be back!

We understand and empathize with the difficulty this guest experienced. While the vast majority of our guests come for a laid back high end beach experience, we get an occasional first time guest who's idea of a beach vacation is somewhat more rambunctious. While such visitors are rare at our establishment, we have no way of knowing if one guest's... More

I just wanted to say we had the best time at the inn for my daughter's wedding. The staff provided excellent service for a stress free wedding weekend. Jennifer our coordinator was very attentive and accommodating. We provided some decorations, they did all the work adding some decorations they already had on hand. The food was outstanding for both the... More

Just got back from a wonderful honeymoon to the Outerbanks. We decided to splurge on the Inn for our special week; it was well worth it! The Inn had free use of bikes, kayaks, a canoe, and paddle boards. There were over 1800 DVDs that guests can borrow for the night. And delicious cookies appear around 4 each afternoon! The... More

This was our first trip to the Banks and we were not disappointed with this lovely hotel that has its own special niche. The rooms are individual and Magnolia has a fantastic view of Pamlico Sound with superb sunsets from the Deck. We found all the staff to be so warm and welcoming and we really appreciated all the extras... More

We took a tour of the OBX as a celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary. Our last two nights we stayed at this idyllic inn. We were in the Jasmine room, which was quite roomy and comfortable. Pretty art on the walls! A huge whirlpool tub was the perfect late afternoon respite, and the bath products are sublime -- honey/lemon,... More

We were heading to Virginia Beach from North Carolina and decided to hit the Outer Banks on the way. We didn't realize that the two ferries lasted 4.5 hours long and so we were scrambling to find a place to stay and had to cancel our reservation for VA. The only place with vacancies was this place. I normally don't... More

We booked the Inn for a wedding weekend from May 3-5th. With the help of Jennifer, Steve and Forrest we had a wedding that was beyond anything we could have imagined. Jennifer helped me along my wedding planning schedule for several months leading up to our event. Forrest provided an amazing spread for the rehearsal and reception night dinners. The... More

A beautiful setting and surroundings couldn't make up for several problems on our trip here. First, we had an experience with rude desk help (and later had it again from a different clerk). We arrived an hour before our check-in and time and were told there was no way we could get in the room, so we went on and... More
