Recognizing that this is not a four or five star property, but a well utilized, near beachfront motel with some age on it, we had an excellent stay! We needed to get our toes in the sand so we purchased one night, at a very reasonable rate, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The staff was very friendly, and though the rooms have some age on them, it was clean and comfortable. I might not stay here more than a couple nights, simply because there's no kitchen, but a very enjoyable stay for a night or two for us. We will be back! Ps- My only complaint was the air conditioner could not keep up with how hot it was outside, so it was quite warm in the room (but I brought a small fan to help with that). The bathroom could use some new grout, but it was clear that they keep it clean despite the sea salt and sand.

Excellent place to stay for visiting Emerald Isle. Beach is just a few minute away and there are a few good options for food. My only complain was that the beds weren't comfortable to sleep on. Other than that, this is an excellent spot.

The shower had a hard time draining, the air conditioner only worked around half the time, and the ice machine outside you had to pay for but was out of ice and did not give a refund. Besides that, the staff and location were amazing! We were greeting with smiles and calling our family by name! The room clean and the beds were very comfortable. We will definitely be returning in the future!
