"My wife and I enjoyed our stay. It’s a tiny 50s hotel being renovated by a young couple. The location is ideal—just a short walk to the beach. Not far from the most famous lighthouse on our coast. And you can walk down to Diamond Shoals Seafood for dine in, take out, or cook your own. We stayed in an efficiency room and benefited from having a fridge and range."

"The location is perfect. Right after Avon and at the start of Buxton. Loved being able to walk out right on the beach and enjoy the views from the outdoor seating area! Would recommend having some sort of door mat to cat sand at the entry of every room, along with an in room broom. Staff was very friendly and helpful."

Tower Circle Motel ★★
"Room had no trash can except for a tiny one in the bathroom, toilet paper was not replenished once it ran out, no closet or place to hang clothes. Window shade only came down 3/4 of the way so we had to hang a towel over the shade for privacy. (Room 5). Bed was comfortable. Owners should pay more attention to the details needed to run a successful property."

Cape Hatteras Motel ★★
"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.!!"
