Frequently asked questions

We are centrally located at milepost 9.5 on the Beach Road (South Virginia Dare Trail) in Kill Devil Hills, NC, very close to the Nags Head town line.

The Wright Brothers Memorial, Jockey's Ridge State Park, Jennette's Pier, the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island, the Elizabethan Gardens, The Lost Colony, Island Farm, Bodie Island, Currituck and the other Outer Banks lighthouses, the Manteo waterfront, the Whalehead Club and the shops along the Duck waterfront are all popular. Some guests just prefer to relax on the beach.

Not here. The famous Outer Banks wild horses are kept safe on the northern beach at Carova, about 45 minutes north — a four-wheel-drive only area, so a 4WD vehicle is needed to visit them.

Yes. Beachfront rooms are on the first floor, directly on the beach — the beach is right in front of your room. Oceanfront rooms are on the second floor, with fantastic views of the ocean. If you want a specific view, be sure to reserve a room described as "oceanfront" when you book.

No, not all of them. If you would like a kitchen, reserve a room described as an "efficiency" — it has a refrigerator, a microwave, an induction cooktop, a toaster and a Mr. Coffee filter coffee pot. A room that is not an efficiency still has a mini fridge, a microwave and a coffee pot.

Yes — a guest laundry area with coin-operated washers and dryers.

No, there is no elevator. Poolside rooms are all on the ground level. Oceanfront rooms have a first floor (ground level) and a second floor, reached by a set of steps.

We do not offer breakfast — there is no public area large enough for it. Many rooms have a kitchenette, and all rooms have a microwave, so many guests make their own. Miller's Seafood and Steakhouse, just across the street, also serves breakfast from 7am until noon, and Starbucks, 7-Eleven, Duck Donuts, Jolly Roger's and Stack 'em High Pancakes are all close by for a quick coffee or a full breakfast.

Yes. We have three designated pet-friendly room types, so availability is limited — be sure the room description says "pet friendly" when you reserve. Oceanfront rooms are not pet friendly. There is an additional $35 per pet, per night fee, added to your reservation in-house, and a maximum of two pets per room. Pets must be kept on a leash on motel property except inside your own room, must not be left unattended, must be crated whenever they are inside the guest room, and guests must clean up after their pet. Pet-caused room damage or extraordinary cleaning is charged at the actual assessed cost; there is no fixed amount.

All rooms are non-smoking. Smoking is permitted outside only — on individual room balconies where a room has one, or outside your room, where chairs and ashtrays are provided.

You must be 21 years or older to make a reservation.

Check-in is at 4pm. If you requested early check-in, the hotel will send an update when the room is ready using the contact method requested on the reservation — SMS, WhatsApp or email.

Cancellation is free until 4:00 PM Eastern Time, seven calendar days before your arrival day. After that, the card on file is charged in full and the reservation is non-refundable — this also applies to reservations made within 7 days of arrival. If a reservation held with a deposit is cancelled within the free-cancellation period, there is no cancellation charge and the eligible deposit is refunded. In a mandatory evacuation, all reservations are cancelled with a full refund.

We accept all major credit cards, and cash for room charges and applicable taxes. A valid credit card in the registered guest's name, with a matching government-issued photo ID, is required at check-in for incidentals and damages — even if you intend to pay the room charge in cash.

Discounts depend on room availability and management approval. No fixed percentage or peak-season schedule is published; call the hotel to ask what is available for your dates.

We cannot guarantee a specific room number, but we do allow guests to note a preferred room number on their reservation and will attempt to accommodate it.

Call the hotel before 6pm on your arrival day to guarantee a late arrival.
