Everything is great, I have been here before but this time we were kind of misled. Beach reclamation underway on the property , dump truck smacking it's steel tailgate, loud equipment, piles of sand in the way of walking, loud construction workers, stuff in the way of backing out of parking spots. I understand construction, it has to be done but please give people a heads up to bring ear plugs and stay indoors 8 am to 5pm. Give us a hint. It's almost like lying by ommission. Yes, you didn't say that there's NO construction going on but you knew that we would want to know. Otherwise no complaints, the place is great.

I created a "wave fees" request for a cancellation via booking to see if perhaps I could get a full refund, without actually cancelling. They took that as a cancellation and booked my room for a other person. I decided that I was going to actual use my reservation, and then when I went up to the front desk they said the place was booked but they had some other room available 1 mile away. This didn't seem fair since I wouldn't be getting the room shown in pictures and it was in a completely different part of town yet I was paying the same price. They tried to heckle with me for a bit but booking helped us out. Will never stay here.

We stay at the Village Accommodations. The big older house we stayed 4 nights at was beautiful. We could use the salt water pool at the hotel.

Run! Blood-stained bath mat, flies in the room, paper thin walls, crack in door frame allowing visibility to/from adjacent room, greenish pool, about 4 things plugged into an extension cord.... It was a nightmare and a joke. When I dropped off the key the morning we left, my friend asked if the lady behind the counter asked how we liked our stay. I said no; I think she knew better than to ask! AND it was super EXPENSIVE, if I could give a negative star, I would. This place is a dump.

I wouldn't recommendThe place reeks of damp. The loveseat in the living room smells badly of wet dog and is very stained. The wood flooring is rotting to the point that multiple places at the entrance, in front of the stove, and the bathroom are soft and feel like they'll give way when you step down. The whole house is lopsided so the front door and bedroom door only open half way. The Internet doesn't work, which means the fancy TV is useless for anything other than 3 local channels. Half the kitchen lights were out. The smoke detectors were missing batteries. Maybe the funniest part was the "stocked kitchen" had only 3 forks. They also want you to do essentially a full clean when you leave, which for a place we've spent $200/night to hold our breath through seems awful. We're not rich, so we're doing our best to enjoy the beach, but for $200/night, it shouldn't stink or be hazardous, and I really don't want to clean a house as the exit ticket for my vacation.

7/23: I genuinely don’t consider myself a Karen or someone that asks for hot water in dive bars… Thus, I will start off with a few pros of this motel. Location primarily - you’re essentially right on the beach. Parking - included with your stay and easily accessible. A hose near the pool to wash off sandy feet. Cons - I am not going to be able to overcome or get past the number of roaches that are crawling across this establishment. It’s like clockwork. Sunsets, and the roaches are out club. There was literally more than 10 on the deck that were around 3-5 inches in length that came out around 8:45 p.m. and thus forcing us to vacate and move inside. If you have the slightest inclination or intention of wanting to use the deck, I would take that into consideration. As much as I adore vintage items, this was a bit of too much of a blast into the past… including the shower head. I don’t want to spend nearly an hour trying to get suds and sand off me. There is a checkout list of to-dos similar to an AirBNB style. I think that should be mentioned on the booking site. You’re expected to take the trash within your room to the dumpsters, sweep and do dishes. Finally, my last item that was not necessarily a concern for me, but a concern if you have youngsters. None of the windows have screens, the deck has rusty nails and screws hanging out, even the padlock to the entrance has two rusty screws hanging out that could’ve harmed someone. There’s also a number of kitties roaming the property. I adore cats, but I can understand how this can be a concern to stayers so I feel it’s a need to mention. My guess is they are fighting off rats… or roaches? The walls are also incredibly thin so if there are guests in the room next door, you may not get sleep. Overall, if you can get past all of the cons, you have an easy access to the beach.

Room isn't what it is in the pictures. Pictures show a kitchen and stove, but the room did not have either of those. The pool was very dirty. Parking spaces were super cramped, and you couldn't park correctly.

My family & I stayed at one of the cottages, unit 2, through the Outer Banks Motel. The place seemed very clean until we noticed the trash was never taken out from the cleaning crew and/or prior visitors. Our master bedrooms bed was in terrible condition. My husband & I were sleeping on an angle. Our feet were higher than our head which made things pretty uncomfortable. Also, the master baths tub wouldn’t allow the water drain correctly when you were taking a shower. What did it for us at the end was you can hear all the noise from the next door neighbors, even upstairs through the walls. We saw two bugs as pictured that we killed. We truly didn’t think anything of it. My husband spoke to someone and told him it was a Palm Meadow water bug. Once we got back from our visit we researched it and It’s part of the cockroach family …. Just beware.

The Outer Banks Motel is a ok motel. The place has seen better days and has shone many, many signs of age. The hot tub for example is in shambles and the beach out front leaves a lot to be deserved. The rooms aren’t the cleanest but are doable. One of the last times I went, there was a cockroach that crawled on me in the middle of the night.As for positives, in 3A and 3B there is a door in between the rooms with a kitchen which has been really great for family gatherings.I personally would not stay here, but since my family likes it, I will put up with it.

If you like cats, this is your place. Old, dirty, parking is a nightmare, night time noise after office closes is off the hook. Will sleep in truck before coming here again. Do yourself a favor & go down the road a little bit for comfortable stay. One week of being miserable is enough for us. Will never ever stay here again or suggest this place to anyone. Hot tub in pool area looked like lemonade, clothes dryer is broken but takes your money. Never again my friends !!!

Our go to place for years. Right on the beach, nice pool and I love that it's family owned.Rooms: Yes, it's an older place but they do keep up with updates and the staff works really hard to keep the rooms clean and nice.

We took an overnight trip to get away for the weekend- Very cute, clean and quaint! The staff is also very kind and nice!I would absolutely recommend this establishment.My only complaint is the smell of the cleaning products used to clean the room, but nothing opening windows didn’t fix :)
