A fantastic Inn with Ocean View; Balcony included

The place feels brand new, and the amenities are everywhere. Convenient, walkways and porches right on the beach. the breakfast area is separate with plenty of options and extremely clean and neatly kept.

Great location

We stayed here because we are playing in a 2 day disc golf tournament. We love this beachfront hotel. Right across the street is the Kill Devil Grill, and Swellsa Brewing is a short 2 block walk away. We love the location. It is also minutes from the Casey Logan disc golf course.

We scheduled this trip last minute and had very few choices in our price range. I was skeptical, but decided to book with John Yancey. I am so glad we made this choice! The room was nice and clean....probably the best I have ever slept away from home! It was close to restaurants and of course, a quick walk to the beach. We really enjoyed our trip.....I will definitely stay here again! Thanks!
