Swell Motel

Motel is very dated and had many areas that needed attention. Room was clean, with no bugs and beds were comfortable but one was very short.

Great rooms Close to Beach Kayak/bike free rental Sound side access on property Pet friendly The owners are great Must!

Great stay

I adore this place! Love the quirks. Not only are they pet friendly, they are people friendly too! I think I’m going to make the Swell a tradition. Very much looking forward to returning next year, that will be my 3rd time.

I made reservations for four adults, three kids and one infant. When we arrived, after a seven hour drive, we get our room and it’s a room with a queen size bed and a full size bed. So we ask the lady at the front desk how this room sleeps 8 people and she said I don’t know I didn’t make the reservation. My husband had to speak to the owner about our situation and she finally suggested rolling 2 cots into our room which then left us packed in like sardines. There’s no way that was safe under the fire code. The next day we are loading up to go get some lunch and my oldest daughter steps off the porch and into a crack in the parking lot and scrapes her shin and breaks her foot. Their parking lot has huge cracks all over it which they instantly started acting like they were going to have fixed now that someone got hurt. Needless to say this will not be a place we stay at again or recommend for anyone else.

This facility was extremely spotless inside and outside. The amenities were unlimited and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding areas. We are grateful and thankful for the opportunity to stay here at this location. We are already booking again in the fall to stay again. We are giving this establishment a 6 star rating! Is has the whole package plus more.

The property was closed due to Hurricane Erin and we were turned away by the owner. We need a full refund.

It would have been nice if the bedding was cleaner. Fantastic beach vibe and great location!

Staff were great and attentive, and the rooms were really nice, especially for a renovated old motel! We only stayed here for two nights on our way south to Ocracoke with more family, but would absolutely stay longer. Great vibe with the live music Friday and Saturday. We’ll probably be back next year!
