We had an amazing stay at The Inn for our first trip to the Outer Banks. The location was perfect with easy access to shops and restaurants, an easy walk or quick drive to the beach with easy parking. The onsite pool was a great way to keep the fun going after a day out and sunsets on the pier are breathtaking. Alexis took all of the guesswork out of where to eat and how to get around and she made sure our stay was enjoyable. Bruce was amazing with the kids, so pleasant, and brought great charm and character to our stay. For a family of 4 with 6 year old boys, we would absolutely recommend and we’d stay here again.

The property is in an excellent location. It’s an older building that’s in acceptable condition but has plumbing issues. The staff is excellent. The front desk staff were professional, friendly and exceptional in their eagerness to help. The gentleman in the breakfast area made staying at this hotel a very satisfying experience. Friendly, enjoys life and always ready to help. His interaction with all of the guests was great. Overall a good stay.

Great location, we had a family wedding at Whales head museum. Family members were able to bring their dogs instead of placing them in a kennel. We all live in different states and it was great staying in the same place. All of our children are now adults, and the cousins had a good time hanging out at night on the pier. The whole property has ramps as well as stairs. I use a cane and was able to walk everywhere. Nice pool area, with lounge chairs and a view of the bay and pier. Rooms were very large, with ceilings fans and air conditioning. Breakfast was included, and well stocked, with breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, hot and cold cereals, fresh fruit, bagels, English muffins, tea, coffee, juices, pastry, with seating inside and outside. Bikes are available on the property and maintained daily. Plenty of parking, and shopping is close. Our family loved staying and we plan on returning in the future for a family reunion.
