My new Outer Banks place to stay!
"From the moment we checked in, everything was beyond out expectations. From the little extras such as wine and cheese, or chocolate chip cookies…to the yummy breakfast, everything was perfect. Our room was very clean, spacious, and the balconies were better than we could have imagined."

I grew up visiting this beach in the summers and staying in this motel when I was a little girl myself, because it was one of my grandmothers favorite places to stay and now I get to share the same experience with my daughter!
