Great location directly on the water with a beautiful dock and gazebo at end with jet skis and boats to rent etc. I’ve been coming here for decades and the rooms used to be old and dated but at least they were cozy. Now they’ve sort of up dated the rooms ugly furniture, fake wood floors but no cozy rugs are anything, ugly depressing colors. Navy blue and grey. Everything still looks super dated just uglier than ever. My room smelled like an old locker room. Bengay oder and all ! Disgusting! The Inns only manager had left right after I checked in or I would have complained about the smell and checked right out !! Also the mattress on bed was low quality garbage. Pillows too. Slept horrible. It was a bad night between the smell and the horrible bed. Done with that place. Moving on. There are much better places on the Outer Banks

I think the bathroom sink area was difficult to maneuver around...meaning no counter space at all. Also, the bedding and mattress was only so so. But the people we came in contact with were very helpful and welcoming.

Nice Inn with beautiful views of the Sound

We had a beautiful room with a balcony on the Sound. The sunsets were amazing! As stated in the Inn's info, there is a smell associated with the swampy mud area near the bulkhead, but we expected itvandvwas not bother by it. The only arm chair in the room was made of poor quality. It would have been nice to have 2 nicely made chairs to enjoy sitting and chatting in the evening. The continental breakfast was a nice variety of items and the dining and food area was extremely clean. The customer service was great from check-in to check-out! We would definitely stay again and recommend the Inn to others.

Our stay was fine, however the property and rooms need a facelift. It’s very rustic and old. We had a king suite which was a large room with a pullout but the furniture, room and bathroom needed a major upgrade. The staff was excellent and super friendly and helpful and the property’s location was ideal. Central and by the water. Overall we had a pleasant stay but I don’t think I could stay there again unless they do some major renovations.
