"We Love the Seahorse Cottage!! This was our second visit to OBX and our second stay here. We had the same cottage as last year and it was great! It has everything you need and is very comfortable. The staff are friendly & helpful. Walking distance to the pier & beach , Cahoons market, restaurants, etc. Thank you again Seahorse staff! "

"Best room we have stayed in at OBX"

"My adult son and I just finished a motorcycle trip to OBX. We picked Dolphin Inn because we wanted an old school motel experience, with easy access, and beach front. All at a good value. Dolphin Inn was PERFECT. It's been recently refreshed, and the rooms were very clean, nicely decorated and QUIET. The staff was friendly and professional, and everything we needed was available. Dolphin Inn is located about 15 minutes from the "action" at Nags Head, but a 7-11 and local favorite bar and grill was an easy walk. The room was a little on the small side and didn't have many "extras" but it had everything we needed, including a coffeemaker and nice TV. We don't smoke, and we couldn't smell smoke in our room, but if you do smoke I would highly recommend Dolphin Inn as there are chairs to smoke outside each room. This in no way bothered us as non smokers. In fact, most folks sat in the chairs to enjoy the weather, and we struck up conversation with them. They gave us tips on what to do and see. You don't get that in the large chain hotels. Often times we'd look at the large Comfort Inn hotel a few lots down, and comment on how glad we were choosing the Dolphin. As for convenience, it was VERY nice to just walk out your door and be at your vehicle. It was also very quiet at night with no traffic noise. We're big fans of the Dolphin Inn, it was just right for us. "
