Great for everything!
I booked 2 rooms side by side oceanfront. Rooms were both clean and beds were super comfy and soft. One room had a chair, we wished the other one did but it didnt. Big walk in showers. Continental breakfast daily that was pretty good. Could walk right out onto the beach and the balcony views were awesome. But the best part was when we left my daughter had accidently left some pretty special toys under her pillow and forgot them. We called the hotel literally almost 12 hours later when she was getting ready for bed to see if they had found them. The manager said she would check in the morning. She called us at 6:45 the next morning to let us know they DID in fact find them, and they were nice enough to mail them back to us. I had no problem paying postage. Amazing staff!!! Thank you for a wonderful thanksgiving break!!!

Beachfront
We had a wonderful day hiking and climbing the sand dunes at Jockey’s Ridge. We checked in and the view of the ocean was beautiful. We went to dinner and came back and the moon,big and bright orange, was coming up over the ocean! Viewed the sunrise the next morning from our balcony. I highly recommend this place!

Great place amazing staff
We booked Saturday night but decided to come a day early and we were accommodated with the same room for a great price. Property is great and convenient and the lady at breakfast each morning was just the best. Always a smile and a warm good morning, and kept everything clean and full.
