The Sea Ranch Resort
8.0 (105 reviews)

The Sea Ranch Resort ★★★

📍 1731 N Virginia Dare Trail, Kill Devil Hills

"Great view of the ocean. OBX is older mom and pop establishments so it wont have the feel or amenities of the big hotel chains but it has what you need. Clean room, great beach access and a refreshing pool. Beach wasn't crowded and had lots of shells. Pool was older but clean, the surrounding facilities could use some TLC but we were never crowded at the pool. We saw the other posts about the elevator issues and the one elevator still was out of commission. We had the second level so it didnt affect us. There was no cleaning of the rooms which didnt affect us since we only had a 2 night stay and we wouldn't use it. Very reasonably priced. We didnt go to the bistro in the hotel but it seemed to offer a lot of great things."

The Sanderling
8.5 (98 reviews)

The Sanderling ★★★★

📍 1461 Duck Rd, Duck

"We traveled here to enjoy the area and amenities. Unfortunately the hotel had just been damaged by water and active water restoration was happening while we were there. It was smelly, loud and disgusting. Cannot believe we paid what we did to have to deal with this."

Pamlico Station Edgecamp
9.4 (44 reviews)

Pamlico Station Edgecamp ★★★

📍 24267 North Carolina Hwy 12, Rodanthe

"This is a very unusual hotel. There is no lobby, no check-in desk, no people. The only interior spaces are the rooms themselves. After you book online, the hotel emails you a code to open the door to your assigned room. If you have any questions or concerns, you text a (very responsive) concierge. It's basically an Airbnb in the form of a hotel. I loved it. The rooms themselves are spacious and beautifully apportioned. Even the most basic room has a kitchen with a refrigerator, oven, and stove, plus a comfy couch, a television, and a dining area. The WiFi is strong and reliable. There is an outdoor wellness deck with a sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge. The whole place looks and feels spotless and brand new (because it is). The location and setting are fabulous. The beach is just blocks away. There's a pizzeria across the road. They offer a discount on the booking rate to North Carolina residents. If you're looking for an uncomplicated, no-fuss place to stay in Rodanthe, this is it."

Shutters on the Banks
9.0 (101 reviews)

Shutters on the Banks ★★★

📍 405 S Virginia Dare Trail, Kill Devil Hills

"My wife and I went to the Outer Banks for a day and a half adventure that involved needing a hotel room. I chose shutters based on being located near one of the music venues we would be visiting. We are both free pleased with our stay. It was of course in the winter and off-season so we didn’t have any crowds anywhere which was perfect for us.    It was everything we needed and expected and nothing we didn’t need. It was perfect."

Hatteras Island Inn
8.4 (84 reviews)

Hatteras Island Inn ★★

📍 46745 North Carolina Hwy 12, Buxton

"Great price. Room was outdated but very clean and staff was very friendly. It was close to amenities. Very comfotable room. We would book again."

Saltaire Cottages Hotels in Dare County

Saltaire Cottages

"This is how a beach Vacation should be ! Old world charm and a beach that is not over crowded and lined with Hotels and McMansions!! Unspoiled We have been coming here close to 30 years ( only missing a couple). The current Owners are so gracious to us and appreciate the longevity of us year after coming back. The beauty of Saltaire is really the set up. Having your own 2 bedroom units ( the ones we stay in). There are as many of 18 of us and we all hang around the great pool and beach all day and share the common spaces throughout. Then we can all retreat to our own family units. You cannot get that with a big house with 18 people together and the chaos that usually goes along with if after a week!. The location is perfect, across the beach and right on Beach road and next to Art's place and the Newer cigar and Bourbon bar Tap That. The grounds are kept clean as well as the pool daily. I do not know how they do it but the cleaning staff are truly great ! They are so considerate of everyone they meet and are eager to please. They have been there for a number of years now and Dan and Amanda must be doing something right to keep them. ( keep doing it guys).. We look forward to coming back next year and have the same great experience we have come to love. The Gregory Family"

Outer Banks Motor Lodge Hotels in Dare County

Outer Banks Motor Lodge

"The sea is just outside the door, and there are barbecue facilities in the yard. There is a small kitchen and a large refrigerator in the room. I went to the supermarket to buy some seafood and cooked a hot pot, and then went to the beach for a walk in the breeze. It was a good stay experience."

Colonial Inn Hotels in Dare County

Colonial Inn

"Our stay was fine with the exception of someone from the office knocking on our door a half hour prior to the time to check out to see if we were going to check out (which we were in the process of packing and almost done). We felt that was rude especially since I had already taken some luggage to our vehicle."

Wingate by Wyndham Kill Devil Hills NC Hotels in Dare County

Wingate by Wyndham Kill Devil Hills NC

"Stayed here when it was a Best Western, and we loved it. Saw some less than stellar reviews, but decided to book anyway. We didn’t love the place, but it wasn’t horrible either. The location and views are great. The room itself was good. Plenty of space which was nice. You get a living room and separate bedroom for the same price if not less as you would just a room. The views from our fourth floor room above the pool were great. The room is newly updated, and for the most part clean. The beds were comfortable and clean. We really liked having the living room to sit and relax in the evenings. The breakfast was good. Had breakfast burritos which were great, pancake and sausages on a stick, biscuit and sausage, waffles, cereal, bread, and fruit. The ladies in the breakfast room were the most friendly people at the hotel. We noticed that it seemed like they kind of stopped caring for the place already though. While the rooms were nice and updated, they didn’t finish them. No toilet paper or towel racks in the bathroom. That wasn’t a deal breaker, but a slight inconvenience. The pool was closed for our five nights also. It just looked like it just needed cleaned. That was the biggest disappointment as I like the pool in the afternoons. There was also fencing around the pool that was blown over. We didn’t see anyone working on the property for our five nights. The floors in the room also get very dirty. Like most other places they don’t do daily housekeeping anymore. I’m ok with that but we noticed on our second night that the floors made our feet black. Not sure if they were cleaned for night one, but we did notice it night two. Maybe they should have some mats outside or right inside the door to wipe off your feet. Other than the floors we felt our room was spotless. They didn’t even have a nice staff. Other than the breakfast ladies (who were amazing!) no one was nice. I felt like I was interrupting the front desk lady and her two coworkers when I checked in. I wasn’t even acknowledged right away and they continued their conversation while checking me in. We passed the housekeepers a handful of times, and they seemed to want to avoid people. We did ask about why they seemed to stop with the renovations. We were told that the hotel was sold again, so it’s in the process of a new owner. So the old owner doesn’t care, and the new one hasn’t taken over yet (not their words, but my assumption). I could have been ok with a couple of the negatives, but they just add up too much. Especially the pool. How hard would it be to clean it so people could use it? Either clean it or make a note on the website it’s unavailable like it says about the fitness room. It was by no means a horrible stay, but just a completely mediocre one. I would steer clear until the new owner has taken over and everything is up and in working order."

The Sea Ranch Resort ★★★
"I didn’t even get to stay because our flight got canceled and we couldn’t reschedule. I know it is part of their policy to not get a refund but with the amount of money I spend they could’ve at least given me something back. I did their whole process to of trying to get a refund back but with them stating it works for less than 1% of people I didn’t have much hope. I’m hoping to go there in the future but not anytime soon with the amount of money I lost."

Days Inn by Wyndham Kill Devil Hills Oceanfront - Wilbur ★★★
"The price/performance ratio is very high, and it feels like a small house with all the necessary features. It is a few steps from the seaside, suitable for watching the sunrise in the morning, and it is not far from the Wrights brother memorial hall."

Heart of Manteo ★★
"The rooms are very basic and have an old-school charm. Our room was satisfactorily clean and had an air purifier in addition to the heat/ac unit, which was appreciated. A hair dryer is provided as well as liquid hand soap and body wash mounted on the walls. No suitcase stand is provided but there is one chair in the room. Check in was easy and we left the door keys on the dresser at checkout. Our room was located around the back of the motel where it seemed that there were long-term guests that were loud late into the evenings and early in the mornings while the front of the motel appeared to be mostly empty, but the location on Manteo was nice and we were able to walk to several nearby stores and restaurants."

John Yancey Oceanfront Inn ★★
"The location is great! The beachfront terrace was a really nice facility. The cleanliness of the hotel was a bit disappointing. I guess it's because the facilities are old."
