    Our room was spacious and clean and our beach view between the dunes was fantastic! The family took advantage of all 3 pools, the spa, and both the front and back balconies. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. There was ample, easy parking for our vehicles and outdoor seating. It was wonderful and affordable without being extravagant. Just a simple, great beach motel!

    The view was great! The motel was in a nice location of Nags Head & located around good restaurants. They had a baggage elevator to bring your luggage up to thr 2nd or 3rd floor if needed.

    We only stayed 1 night here but it went as expected. The motel is really close to dining and the pier. It's just across the street from the beach and has a small pool. The beds were really comfortable. Looked to be a brand new fridge microwave and even a toaster oven! There was also a Keurig for coffee. They even let us check in 2 hours before we were supposed too bc our room was already clean.

    The location is amazing! The staff is so friendly and helpful. We've stayed here a couple of different times and haven't been disappointed yet. It's your basic beach motel - simple, but pretty clean.

    The motel is old, but the updates are great. The room was clean, great location, right across the street from the beach. The Dunes restaurant next to the motel, and The Outlet Mall is right across the street. The pool was lovely and also across the street is Jurassic Putt.
