I booked for my mom as were relocating her down, the owners are lovely and you can see where they are doing renovations, I do believe the other rooms are renovated to what the photos look but the room we ended up with was at the starting stages of renovations, patchwork on the walls and minor aesthetic issues, but for the price and the care of my mom's wellbeing from the staff I can't really complain about the room not being like the photo. Would book again

Found in a good central location, easy to find, lots of parking options. A little play structure is located outside good for younger children. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of our room. Easy check in and easy check out. Staff were friendly. Sufficient for a one night stay.

The hosts were very friendly. The area is very close to Canatara beach and waterfront area next to the US border. It is also close to a mall for shopping. The room was big enough. Only issue was the window air conditioner which was a bit loud and air was not cool enough.

At our overnight stay within the Gables Inn we enjoyed our overall stay. The rooms were newly updated (we had 2) the beds were comfortable and there was lots of room for activites indoors. The only downfall with the Gables inn is that it’s broadcasted their is a pool for swimming and to our surprise when we arrived it looked like the pool had been closed for many years and instead built a small jungle gym next to it meaning it should have been removed from the ad. The lady working the front desk was friendly and answered any questions we had.
