Beautiful property and we really enjoyed the breakfasts! The room was very clean. The only problem we had was that the tv wasn't connecting so we only got a couple of channels. One of the guys at the property came to the room to look at it, but I guess it wasn't something that could be fixed in a couple of days. We never heard or asked again about it.

Thank you for the review. We are so sorry about the television! There was a mix up at the front desk, we thought it had been taken care of by another staff member that was more versatile with the cable. Please accept our apologies.

The room was very very nice and comfortable. It was actually beautiful and the staff was top notch. They were so helpful. The young man at the front desk was exceptional and the waitress was so nice and friendly. I was disappointed that the hotel was not on the beach and did not have much in the way of water views. Overall though this is a marvelous place to stay.

Lovely Bed and Breakfast

Absolutely beautiful B and B. In the middle of the craziness of the day you can return to the serenity of this beautifully managed and maintained property. We arrived to wine and cheese served in the dining room. We walked around the beautiful grounds and then strolled over to the beach. Breakfast was lovely. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Plenty to do in the area or just relax by the pool or on the beach. This was a wonderful choice!

Charming hotel with attention to details!

Pros: We loved everything about this hotel.
Cons: Our stay was perfect in every way!
Location: The beach was right across the street. Great restaurants near the hotel as well as miniature golf, Kitty Hawk, and the sand dunes.
I loved this hotel! My husband had a stroke, and he has a difficult time getting up and down steps. When I called the hotel to tell them after I made the reservation, they immediately put us on the lower floor, left drinks in our room, and proceeded to give us 30% off our room. Everyone was kind and helpful. They had a private entrance to the beach; umbrellas, chairs, and beach towels were available. The entire stay was awesome!
