The parking is first come, first serve, and I felt save at the motel. I would recommend Dolphin Oceanfront Inn to anyone looking for a quiet beach setting."

"Grateful to have been able to make last-minute reservations at this ocean view hotel in the Outer Banks July 4th weekend. Nice spacious well accommodated rooms-quiet, clean, safe. People sitting on the outside upper decks enjoying the breeze. Many historic aspects- from the photos on the walls to the upper library. Friendly morning staff, though late evening check-in was fully automated. No morning coffee or breakfast on-site because they don’t have a cook; but the hotel provided generous coupons for free breakfast nearby."

"The room was clean but the use of a high fragrance cleaner gave us a headache. Thankfully we were able to air it out a little. We never came in contact with staff. The property was well maintained for being beach side and the rooms being newly renovated was pleasant. For the price and what we got it was very fair."
