Room was updated, just across from haterras lighthouse.

Air conditioning was either freezing, or went completely off. Problems with flys! Neighboring tenant was rude, property not in very good shape.

"If you love adventuring and exploring and aren't looking for cutesy and kitsch, this is your place."

8.0

The friendliness and down to earth staff. Not a "stiff" place. You can relax and just roll with the flow. If you needed something, all you had to do was mention it and it was next to ready for you. Available are kayaks, bicycles and paddleboat for your use. More than accommodating. Gift store full of local artistry..wonderful.

Waterbugs outside..lol..they're a given in the area. Key word..outside.

"Fantastic restful vacation stay!"

10.0

Me and my better half loved staying here. We came down to explore fish and recharge the old batteries. This place is also perfect for families or couples who want to enjoy a peaceful stay in the OBX…Nothing fancy but all the basics were covered and well thought of. I Loved how everything from kayaks to a fish cleaning station (with outdoor bbq and pans etc were available too us.) We had ice for the cooler and air for the tires. We were across the street from everything we needed, restaurants, ice cream and gift shops.
