I usually stay at my friends house in Hatteras, but showed up and there was someone else there! Ended up heading back up to Nags head and found this motel. The front desk lady was really nice and gave us an awesome deal. The place is definatly older but the price was right and its right at the beach. There... more

We stayed at this motel on June 6th. I spoke with John (the owner) when making my reservation. All I can say is that he sure is a slick-talker. I was assured that the place had new carpet and paint and that we would find it to be clean. I was also assured that our room would be pet-free and... more

The Wife and I made reservations to stay at the Ocean House motel over memorial day weekend after looking at their web page. After checking in, my wife became really upset over the room and to say we were disappointed is a huge understatement. The bottom of the door that was the entrance to the motel room had water damage... more

Well my cousin and I just got back from our weekend trip to the outer banks. Were we stayed at the Ocean House Motel. We arrived at the Ocean House at about 3:00 am on 5/16/09 after hours of looking for a hotel/motel that wasn't booked up. The owner of the motel hooked us up with a great room right... more

I blindly made this reservation over the phone based on the website....BIG MISTAKE!!!!!! I was told new tile was being put down and should be finished by our arrival date, sounds good, right? WRONG!!! The tile was the ONLY new thing in that room....I was disgusted at the outward and inward appearance of this hotel :( The bathroom and beds... more

A friend and myself were in Kill Devil Hills for a meeting and just needed a place to stay for a few nights. We drove up and down this 2 lane road looking for a room that was affordable enough for us as were just here to attend meetings all day and were just in need of somewhere to sleep.... more

My husband and I and a friend stayed at this motel over Columbus Day weekend. It's and older motel, and quite basic, but it allows pets and is oceanfront. My friend has a very large lab so we stayed here. We had a very pleasant stay. Although you can't see the ocean from the rooms because of the dunes, you... more

I booked this hotel in March, for our stay in June 2008 - at that time, they told us our rate was something like $60/night. When we got there, she told us that even though their rates were increasing (under the new management), we could still have the rate we were told - good thing! When we got to our... more

We just returned from the best beach trip we've ever taken. No, it wasn't the Hilton, but the peaceful atmosphere, the friendly attentiveness from the managers and staff, the ability to grill right outside our doors, made us feel right at home. They just took over in May 2008 and are diligently at work on improvements. We look forward to... more
