We stayed for two nights at the Owen's Motel while exploring OBX. We rang up and booked over the phone and asked about the various rooms. We decided upon the ones with ocean views. Upon arrival, the helpful lady in reception speedily checked us in and gave us our room key. Our room was number 9 on the 2nd floor.... More

We visited the area for a long weekend to explore OBX, and found the Owens Motel to be clean, welcoming, accommodation. Rate seemed a bit expensive given the limited amenities; however, most lodging in OBX is pricier than other NC locales. We stayed in the single-story building across the street, which was quiet and convenient. The rooms are dated; however,... More

I have never stayed in a worse place. This hotel is dirty, bug infested and disgusting. Please avoid this place at all costs! I ave never seen such a crappy place! The pictures quaint, but believe me it is far from quaint, it is gross! Do not stay here!

I was surprised by the blue painted paneling, the white wicker furniture, and the truly tiny bathroom. I was more surprised at the stench that hit me when I opened the refrigerator to unload our cooler. We were given the opportunity to switch rooms or switch refrigerators with the room next door. Since we had already moved in, we thought... More

I love this motel. I have never stayed across the street, and never will. Nothing against it other than the fact that I stay at Owen's because I can walk out of my door and hit sand, and then water immediately. I always stay in the beach front condos, so I can't vouch for the regular rooms. Condos are nice.... More

We stayed in unit 12 oceanfront and could have not been more pleased. Keep in mind we are beach lovers and this is right on the dunes! If you hate sand..stay at home. The room was very clean and recently renovated with ceramic tile, furniture and a very comfortable bed. DO NOT LET THE OUTSIDE PICS FOOL YOU..It is very... More

This motel is older and doesn't have the most up-to-date furnishings, but it is clean and comfortable, and the the price was much lower than any other hotel along Nag's Head/Kitty Hawk. Our room came with a microwave and small fridge. It's withing walking distance of Jennette's Pier and a couple of restaurants. With the exception of a very noisy... More

We had a one night stay here in June of 2012. My son had never stayed in a motel and we were on a road trip with a stop to see the outdoor drama, The Lost Colony. Owens Motel is very close to the play and fits nicely into a road trip budget. The room was very clean and the... More
