Pros

Seven highly-rated restaurants within 1.5 miles, including Owens' Restaurant and The Dunes Restaurant

Accessible rooms available with easy-access features

Select rooms offer whirlpool tubs

Cons

The Outer Banks Hospital is 2.5 miles away

Some rooms lack ocean views

“In my opinion, this establishment appears to cater to budget-conscious travelers and families. Its proximity to the beach and local shops is definitely a plus, yet some rooms need attention. If management addressed maintenance more proactively, the experience would likely improve significantly.”
