Through researching the hotels in Atlantic Beach, I found out that everything is overpriced. The rooms at the Windjammer were outdated and the bed was hard. The hallways smelled very musty. However, the plus side was the balcony and the jacuzzi room had a huge jacuzzi and was relaxing after a long day of scuba diving.

My family and I just stayed at the Windjammer Inn for the weekend and enjoyed most of our stay. From the 2nd floor up, all the rooms have a lovely oceanfront view and a small private balcony. We were on the 2nd floor and we could slide the curtains open and gaze at the ocean from every portion of the room. The hotel also is extremely close to a private sandy part of the beach, which was our favorite part. We actually walked down the beach a little to the area behind the Sheraton Inn and quickly realized that the beach behind the Windjammer is definitely the best. It's not crowded and the sand is smooth & soft. Besides the beach, the staff was helpful and friendly. There were only a few problems with the hotel. They need major updates in several areas. The bathtub was stained & the shower head had green and white rusty gross stains too. The outdoor hot tub was only warm and the water in it was oily. The couch in our room was questionable as well. It appeared as if it hadn't been cleaned in at least ten years. However, if you are going mostly for the beach and don't want to spend an arm and a leg, I would recommend this hotel. Despite the issues, it was an affordable and quiet place to stay.

Great location. A bit away from the busiest part of Atlantic beach. Very clean place. Shows pride of ownership. They have a swimming pool and nice landscape. Take the elevator down to the beautiful beach. It's within a few steps. The beach is next to a modest fishing pier and there were several surfers in the water. They seem to be building new rooms. Our room was spacious, well kept, very clean and everything in working order. They have one sink in the bathroom and one out by the entrance/colset area. Refrigerator, table with chairs, balcony with chairs and enough counter space. We slept very well. All rooms are ocean view and when we woke up, we opened our eyes to the majestic sea while still laying on bed. We loved it.

My husband and I spent 3 nights at the Windjammer, and we loved this hotel! The location is very convenient, right in Atlantic Beach, which is nice for side trips to Morehead City and Beaufort.
I was impressed with the room, which had updated and very tasteful decor (not the 80's style curtains and bedspreads that you sometimes see). The room and the bathroom were both clean, and the housekeepers were friendly and accomodating. The oceanfront balcony was truly wonderful, and we spent many hours out there when it was raining, which allowed us to still enjoy the beach and the ocean despite the weather. There is a great little refrigerator in each room, as well as a microwave. Coffee is available downstairs in the lobby each morning, and it was actually very good.
We enjoyed the smaller size of this hotel as compared to larger chains. It was definitely family-friendly, though we did not feel overrun with children. The desk staff was pleasant and we had no problems with anyone. We enjoyed the hot tub, though we didn't try the swwiming pool. The beach itself was lovely: soft sand, gentle waves, warm water, and not too many people.
I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone; families with children as well as couples or other groups of adults can all enjoy this hotel. We had a great experience at the Windjammer!
