Only thing we didnt like was the ebtrance to the oceanfront rooms. If you are handicapped or need to roll in luggage, it is really not convenient. Otherwise the location and condition of the rooms is great!!

We stayed in a room directly facing the ocean on the top floor. The views from the room and balcony were wonderful. The included breakfast was OK but nothing special.

Beachfront
We had a wonderful day hiking and climbing the sand dunes at Jockey’s Ridge. We checked in and the view of the ocean was beautiful. We went to dinner and came back and the moon,big and bright orange, was coming up over the ocean! Viewed the sunrise the next morning from our balcony. I highly recommend this place!

The room was very clean but the amount of flies in the room was very annoying. And the barn style bathroom door left a 2” gap when closed. We had to strategically hang towels up so people in the room couldn’t see you shower. Bad door for a bathroom.
