"The Island Guesthouse was the perfect place to stay for our quick trip out of town! Our room was so clean and extremely well-maintained. It was really nice because it was away from all the in-season crowds but still close to the beaches and more touristy areas. The whole hotel has a lot of personality and really had We really, really liked it here and we definitely be back for a next trip to the Outer Banks!"

Top Nags Head Hotel Reviews

Mia's Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Mia's was such a cute property. It was centrally located to dining, shopping, and attractions. The staff was very helpful and friendly. This was only a one-night stay for us as we were traveling to the upper north shores."

Blue Heron Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome view, staff very friendly, older property but clean and no bugs which are common in SC. If you are a ritzy kind of person, you will pay $5k next door per night for the same view. I paid $300. ish in July per night. I will go back. They do allow pets but I didn't notice smells or stains. Cute room but not fancy by any means."

Colonial Inn Motel

10/10 Excellent

"I dispise it when people want a Ritz-Carlton room for a Motel 6 price and then complain! This motel was a joy. It is the kind of motel my family used to stay in on trips in the 60's. It met my needs completely. It is very reasonably priced for a property on the beach, so it was very convienent for my daily fishing with my grandson. While it should be taken for granted, I will state the room was clean and odor free. The bed was firm, which is how I prefer them with lower back issues; other's opinions may vary. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and actually seemed to appreciate our business. I would not hestitate to book another stay in the future."
