We try to stay here every time we come to OBX. They are so consistently great in all areas. The room was spacious and clean. The patio was cute. clean, and came with a welcome from a very spry ghost crab, Breakfast both mornings was hot and well stocked. My grandson loves the pool.

Conveniently located to the Wright Bros Museum and Jockey Ridge State Park. Nice, clean room with a patio. We were facing the dunes and could just see the ocean and feel a nice breeze. The hot breakfast in the morning was both good, and a blessing, as it saved us time and allowed us to get to the sites earlier. Would definitely stay here again.

As a very loyal and long time frequent customer, I will always recommend Shutters, the property is beautiful, the breakfast is always nice, the Tower rooms are wonderful, however, I am really disappointed in housekeeping services. I asked 3 times for my ocean front room to be cleaned, and it didn't get done until Friday, and I left Saturday. I had no trash bags, no coffee set up and when room was "cleaned" beds ( with no personal items on them) we not even tidied up. I love this place but I truly don't want to have to clean on vacation! My stuff was in drawers and closet mostly, it wasn't a wreck and I didn't feel like I got my money's worth. We will definitely be back, but I hope staffing etc gets back up to speed. Thank u for an otherwise lovely stay !
I love this pool

We loved the private access to the beach, nearby activities, the comfortable beds, spacious bedroom, housekeeping staff, and variety of breakfast options. Some things we didn’t like: the tiny bathroom, limited sink counter space, front desk staff wasn’t very friendly or responsive. I called twice and let it ring no less than 15 times with no answer, so I walked to the desk to make my request. The next two times I called the phone rang about 15 times before it was answered.

Poor customer service; good location

Breakfast was good. Not enough seating inside for the morning crowd. Couldnt check in at 4pm bc no rooms ready AND pool/hot tub closed. Pool opened later but hot tub diwn for half of stay. picked hotel and paid higher price bc of those amenities. Asked about a discount and told "we dont do that" which was rude and not great customer service. Didnt even offer to let us speak to manager. Location was good spot. Pd for ocean view, got stuck on 3rd floor so more dunes than ocean. (You need 4th floor to see full beach/ocean) Upon check out, no "thanks for staying." Need some improvement in customer service and should offer something in exchange for loss of pool use and not being able to check in at CHECK IN TIME (Good thing I didnt pay for early check in.
