Theresa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and had a comfortable bed. It could definitely use a remodel. The beach is not visible from the rooms. You have to go up and out onto the beach access which is easy enough.

8/10 Very good

Perfect for an over night stay while traveling across North Carolina. Great location for a quick walk to the beach and located near multiple restaurants.
Andy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Charging port

Was not expecting ocean view. The only essential item needed is a charging port which made it challenging
Phillip, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Beach stay

The bad first, there wasn’t any way to change the shower water temperature and it was too hot for me! The bed was kind of lumpy and not that comfortable. Everything else was good, you’re right next to the beach and the pier. Which was the convenience I wanted.
Michael, 1-night trip
