Cape Hatteras Motel is located directly on the beach. Best rooms are on the second and third floors. It is just outside of Buxton, next to a long, uncrowded beach. We found the accommodations to be very clean, I personally loved the little kitchennette area that had a microwave, fridge and separate sink basin. If you plan to visit Cape... more

Even though there are just two of us, We always stay in one of the two floor suites, ask for the one furthest on the north hand end. Whenever we have been there it's been quiet with no noisy neighbors...We like that. We like the fact that it's on the older side, windows actually open and the ocean is always... more

We loved our stay at this beach-side motel and it met all of our expectations. It's one of the best - if not THE best - located motel in the Cape Hatteras area of the Outer Banks. It has two sets of buildings -- one on the sound side of the main road through the island and one set on... more

Our family was looking for a good value for lodging while vacationing on the Outer Banks. We found it. And in looking at the other options, I'm glad we made this selection. Location: East; ocean. West: Sound, North: wildlife/seashore, South: Buxton/shopping. The ocean view rooms are on the east side of the highway, while the Sound-side rooms (that we had)... more

I enjoyed my stay at the Cape Hatteras Motel. I met friends in May of 2009 for a two night stay and fell in love. I brought home pictures and brochures for my boyfriend and we immediately booked a room for August. The room was comfortable, clean and the staff was friendly. My first stay was on the second floor... more

After reading all of the spectacular reviews on this website and others, we booked an oceanfront room (2nd floor, thank goodness) for two nights as part of a family road-trip up the East coast. This was our first time visiting Cape Hatteras, and I guess maybe our expectations were a little high. Yes, I agree with the other reviewers that... more

I don't have any negative comments for this hotel. We stayed ocean side (sound side is also available). It is right on the beach, it's so close that they have a large sand hill to keep the high tide from flooding the bottom floor. I would recommend getting either the 2nd or 3rd floor just for the views. The staff... more

Very friendly staff! BEAUTIFUL surrounding and awesome ocean view! (rented townhome). Our first morning waking up there, looked out the window to see about 30 dolphins out in the water!!! Our 14 month old had a blast! Very nice place to just relax and unwind! When we left, we booked Easter week in April and I am already on countdown!... more

If you want a great location directly on the beach for a great off season rate, this is the place. You will want a beach side 2nd or 3rd floor room. It looks directly over the beach and ocean. In the off season there are many mild days great for fishing, walking, getting away, and not seeing many people. It... more
