Our room was so musty that we had to leave our door open for hours to try and get the smell out. At first I thought I could not stand the smell but opening the door helped a little. Probably would not stay there again. Also the people in the room next to us were having a big fight yelling and swearing. It was scary.

In the 25 plus years I have been staying in OBX this place has had the most comfortable beds EVER! And I have been in motels, hotels, rental houses through companies as well as Vrbo and such. Walkable to the beach and restaurants were nice as well.

Convenient location. Cleanliness. Awesome place with reasonable price. I wish the pool was open after dark. By the time we explored the area and got something to eat, it was dark and the pool was closed.
