“We'll be back!”

Reviewed December 28, 2012

This is a nice place right on the beach. It is clean and well-maintained. The staff is helpful and pleasant. The only criticism I have is about the restaurant. Workers were cursing loudly in the kitchen and we had a lengthy wait for our food. We will absolutely stay there again soon...we will just eat somewhere else.

“Great place”

Reviewed December 11, 2012

The room was great, and wow what a great price. We stay here every time we come down when it is just a few days. On the beach, easy access to everything. We walked for hours! The room was claen and easy to get to.

“Above average hotel ON the ocean”

Reviewed December 6, 2012

The best part of this hotel is not the building, but the location. The building, lobby and rooms are older and somewhat worn, but the Atlantic Ocean is steps away. I was very satisfied paying an off season rate of $70 for a room not facing the ocean, but would never pay more than $100 at anytime. There is an indoor pool, but no hot tub which was very disappointing. The continental breakfast consisted of bread, bananas and coffee. I would suggest to come here in season and get an oceanfront room, but only at a reasonable cost.

Room Tip: Request oceanfront with a balcony.

Thanks for taking time to share your comments. I wanted to make you aware that the Sea Ranch is in the process of a three step renovation. The oceanfront guest rooms were completely remodeled for the 2012 season and we are planning this winter to begin upgrading the oceanside rooms (where you stayed)! We hope that you will return and experience these changes for yourself!

Stay in touch for special off season rates and other promotions!

“Prime Oceanfront”

Reviewed November 14, 2012

We spent 5 days, 4 nights at the Sea Ranch for the 2nd year in a row, in town to run the marathon. Having vacationed in this area every summer for many years now in a beach house, it is definitely different staying so long in a hotel but the Sea Ranch is worth it. A great price for an oceanfront room at this time of year, we had another fantastic stay. Missed the advertised breakfast buffet (they should really mention that upon check-in as we were looking forward to it!), but we were given a coupon for the Jolly Roger just down the street. The room was clean and we had plenty of towels and blankets for the bed. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. The proximity of the freezing cold ocean and the nice warm indoor pool for those of us incredibly sore after running 13.1 or 26.2 miles was well-appreciated!! We will definitely stay at the Sea Ranch again for any shorter trips to the Outer Banks. I would recommend it to anyone!!!

Room Tip: 2nd floor oceanfront rooms have direct access to the beach

“Fall Break”

Reviewed October 27, 2012

We really enjoyed our time there. We are planning on going back in spring.

The breakfast was confusing. Book in room states a buffet and there was no breakfast buffet or even an opportunity to order something only a continental buffet which is fine but should be stated at checkin.

Additional mirror in room is recommended, only location is in the bathroom.

Room clean! Balcony GREAT!

Thanks for taking time to review! We apologize for the confusion with breakfast - breakfast hours and menu are seasonal and in the off-season we offer our guests a complimentary continental breakfast. We hope that you will return to the Sea Ranch Resort your next trip to Kill Devil Hills!
