This is a nice family owned ocean front hotel in Nags Head, where all of the rooms are ocean side. There's nothing fancy about the hotel - four drawers for clothes, a small area to hang clothes, no restaurant - but it is clean, well maintained and has both an indoor and an outdoor pool. The indoor pool is open... More

This was our second time staying at the Blue Heron. It was as good as the first (October 2012). Modest motel. Great staff. Clean rooms. Great views from 3rd floor. Accommodations are basic, but the view and the service can't be beat. Free passes to local YMCA.

Just returned from another great stay at the Blue Heron. This is the place for people who love the beach and go to Nags Head for the true beach experience. It doesn't have the frills of other hotels - but what it does have is spotless rooms and amazing views of the ocean and sound. Our second floor efficiency had... More

Returned to the Blue Heron after 11 years,and the hotel is still family owned and friendly. The staff is very helpful and you get the feeling you are a guest in their home. The units and grounds are spotless and they all face the ocean. The complex is in great shape, even after taking all those hurricane beatings over the... More

Even though this is an older motel, it is very clean and modestly updated. The lady in charge of cleaning has worked at the hotel for over forty years and they take pride in how well maintained they keep it. Every room has a balcony/ porch facing the ocean, and from the front of your room you can see the... More

We have stayed before with grand kids & loved it. This time just wife & I. Great views but it rained the whole time so we did not go on beach. Pool was down but we were offered the YMCA. Great price, CLEAN & afforable. As others have said get 3rd floor for ecellent views.

Vacationed in OBX for many years but never stayed at the Blue Heron until now and was very amazed at how clean the room and grounds were. This is an older property but very well taken care of and very reasonable. I just can not put in words how amazed I was on how clean this place was for its... More

We stayed here for one night as a last minute decision. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views are incredible from third floor. There is no lift so you need to be able to haul your stuff up to your room. However, the view of the ocean is worth it. From the front door you can watch the sunset over... More
