Top Dare County Hotel Reviews

Mariner Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"I like that the room was big enough for the whole family"

Seahorse Inn and Cottages

8/10 Good

"It was my third time staying at this hotel. All in all it’s a great location. In walking distance to the pier, small grocery store, directly in front of hotel, and a very short walk to the best breakfast in Nagshead. The only real complaint I have is the person above my room stomping around hours in the evening and hours in the morning. Will never stay there again if I can’t get a room without someone above me."

Holiday Inn Express Nags Head Oceanfront by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing! I love the close access to the beach and the cleanliness pf the hotel overall. Food was ok on the breakfast buffet there weren't any pancakes but the kids enjoyed everything. The pool was useful since it started raining on our check in day. Overall 9/10."

Hilton Vacation Club Beachwoods Kitty Hawk

8/10 Good

"We had a great time and we used all the amenities even before and after checkout which was appreciated. The only thing we weren’t aware of were the rooms were a drive down from the main hotel in older condos. The pictures looked much cleaner and remodeled than they were. We didn’t want to stay at the room much at all, so because of this I do not think we would be back. A beautiful indoor and outdoor pool, though and close to the beach!"

The Sanderling

8/10 Good

"We loved the adult pool, but it could use additional umbrellas and umbrellas that adjust. Also there was service, but it was quite slow due to lack of staffing. The beach is okay and steep with a drop off in some areas. It's also short and the free umbrellas are small and don't provide much shade. We appreciated the coolers with electrolyte water at the entrance to the beach, but we did not spend any time on it other than to walk due to the heat, and these biting flies. The rooms are upgraded and nice, but our building had humidifiers running 24-7 and they were outside our room, and loud. The air in the room was wonderful though. Our room was attached to a LOUD family with a kid that had the loudest voice I've ever heard. Perhaps, keep adults on separate floors from children if possible. We like children, but that was nuts. The building inside is updated, outside is falling apart. Broken screen door on our room. Cobwebs and faded wood. The people providing service were lovely, but it was obvious they were overworked. One girl on an entire floor of rooms is not enough for good cleaning. They restocked and straightened up, but they weren't cleaning our bathroom daily. We did enjoy the restaurant. Very good food. The lunch bar by the pool was okay and the drinks weren't very good. My drink tasted like pure alcohol and I wasted it. Perhaps an actual mixologist if you charge these kinds of prices. Not 5 star."
