Go to place for our vacations to OBX, this is the third time we have stayed here. Is right on the beach, great views for the sunrise. Can even see the dolphins swimming in the morning. Several restaurants are close by. About a 45 minute drive to Corolla and 90 minute drive to Ocracoke. 20 minute drive to Roanoke if you want to go to the aquarium or see the Lost Colony play. Breakfast is good in the morning. Would recommend.

Ive stayed here several times in the past and this was my worst stay. Typically stay in the tower and have enjoyed our stay. Stayed in the main building and it was run down. Stains in the carpet. Rust stains in the shower. Housekeeping came daily to swap towels but they didnt replace washclothes or clean the space. Additionally the location was in front of the pool and it was loud at 930 pm. The noise kept my kids up. Our experience is much better in the towers.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was not very friendly. The standard unit we stayed on had an unpleasant odor. We could hear Neightbors’ conversations and snoring. The bathroom had used products it was not completely cleaned. The building overall seemed old and lacked maintenance. The showers outside coming back from the beach did not work properly, running of out water and very little water pressure to be able to rinse off.

Beautiful hotel, quiet and restful

We try to get to the NC Outerbanks at least once a year, for the last 4 trips we have chosen to stay at Shutters on the Banks, room is beautiful and so quiet. No noise from the other rooms at all. Beach is easily accessible and very nice. Beds are amazing and so comfortable. Each year we say, maybe we will try a new hotel, then we say, nah, we can’t find anything we will like more than Shutters!

Beautiful location right on the beach—perfect spot for watching the sunrise each day. The room was clean, spacious with a comfortable bed. The pools and hot tub were great. My only real complaint was that although the hotel promised daily housekeeping, they only made the bed if you asked for “full service.” I’ve never had a hotel housekeeping experience where they did not make the bed.

Shutters was great besides two things, the terrible water pressure in the shower and the ac unit turning on and off loud banging that’s the only negative.
