In the 25 plus years I have been staying in OBX this place has had the most comfortable beds EVER! And I have been in motels, hotels, rental houses through companies as well as Vrbo and such. Walkable to the beach and restaurants were nice as well.

Love the location and easy access to dining. The only thing i didnt like was that the room kinda smelled a bit, but considering it was last minute and literally the only room available I believe it was perfect for the night. Staff was very friendly too
