Great location
We stayed here because we are playing in a 2 day disc golf tournament. We love this beachfront hotel. Right across the street is the Kill Devil Grill, and Swellsa Brewing is a short 2 block walk away. We love the location. It is also minutes from the Casey Logan disc golf course.

A fantastic Inn with Ocean View; Balcony included
The place feels brand new, and the amenities are everywhere. Convenient, walkways and porches right on the beach. the breakfast area is separate with plenty of options and extremely clean and neatly kept. The lady who managed it was cleaning tables and the floor after each guest left. I will be back again in summer to avail of this wonderful facility

Weekend getaway with beautiful views
We came for a family weekend getaway. The room looked recently renovated and was clean. It’s a great location being steps from the beach, a restaurant across the street and brewery less than a 3 minute walk. Our girls loved watching the sunrise, look for beach shells and of course continental breakfast which included a waffle machine. We would definitely return and recommend to others.
