Cape Hatteras Motel

My husband and I stayed in building C the first night on the 3rd floor. We found the rooms clean and had everything we needed. Right on the beach , could not get any closer with out being right in it. Gorgeous views. We would hope to get this room again . The restaurant is right across the street and oh so good. The shrimp and grits appetizer was delish as was the fish and shrimp dinners. Breakfast was delicious, great presentation and friendly staff. Our reservations were last minute so we had to move downstairs to bldg D the second night on the ground floor in front of dune, didn't like this as much at "c"bldg, it was clean and had everything we needed, but being on ground floor was noisier with people over head getting up very early and hearing every footstep. We will go back definitely though, just not stay downstairs. Very friendly area.

Lovely townhouse suite! Ocean right outside your door. Very peaceful and safe. Enjoyed every minute in the townhouse suite we had. Will definitely be going back. Great place to take your family. Very clean. Just remodeled. It was very comfortable.

Nice clean rooms for a reasonable price. Staff is very friendly and attentive to any issues. I often stay here in the fall during my fishing trips and it couldn’t be located in a better place for great food, bait shops, and best of all the point is about a 3 minute drive away.

This hotel is located as close to the lighthouse as you can get and it is beach front. The beach area isn't large but it wasn't crowded even over the 4th of July. The amenities are older but we loved it. The staff was very friendly & helpful. The office is located across the highway but they will bring you anything you need.

You have to scratch your head some time when you look at a wooden structure on stilts literally built into a Sandune within feet of a roaring ocean in the center of the hurricane region on Cape Hatteras. In Short this is a weird and wonderful place to put a hotel or a motel as it were in this case, but Boy, is it an experience . We were skeptical when we drove up to the place, because from the outside this wonderful idiosyncratic lodging looked like it was from the outside, a shingled structure on its last legs, about to fall into that sand dune, on whose other side the ocean was raging. There were indeed signs of robust reconstruction or recent renovation on closer inspection, including new staircases and siding but when we got to our room on the top floor, any doubts vanished, and we were in complete awe of the location. If you can manage three flights of wooden stairs – there is no elevator – you can get a very large room on an outside corridor, with a balcony, running the whole length of the ocean, facing building, where you can look directly over the tip of the sand dune and see the waves coming in literally right beneath your nose. This is an intoxicating site in the evening, and in the morning when the sun rises and you get the full blast of the morning wind and the waves, and literally with dolphins dancing in the morning light and those crazy surfers right beneath you catching waves in the frigid December ocean to the beach. This town is mostly closed in December but this hotel is not, and is highly recommended not just for the view, but also because someone has put some money into this place recently , and the room was very clean a very viby collection of 50s and 60s type retro furniture and a nice little kitchen and a very good bathroom and sink, all pretty spotless and also a great bed. There was no breakfast in the off-season, but they may have that in the off-season when I am sure the prices go up. While this place is still standing and evading the strong wins and storms that sweep through this area, it is well worth a visit not just for the view, but also for the whole funky thing of it all. Indeed, it reminded me of Frank Zappa‘s description of the famous motel he stayed at on the waterfront in, I think, Seattle, as described in the song, Mud Shark, where, he said, you could stick a pole out the balcony, and do anything you want with it if you know what I mean… Including catching mud sharks in that case. In this case there are dolphins and of course you wouldn’t want to do that. … but enjoy nonetheless.!!

Motel was OK you can't expect much in Cape Hatteras I guess. Ocean view pretty good but accommodations could definitely been better considering the price. Air conditioning was cold at least. Floors are creaking and pillows are worn.
