Top Jockey's Ridge State Park Hotel Reviews

Nags Head 225:Historic oceanfront, sandy path to the beach, comfy & cozy

10/10 Excellent

"Adorable cottage! We enjoyed being right on the beach and having the large covered deck to sit and relax. We had 6 adults and it fit us all very comfortably. Perfect location for walking to coffee shops, ice cream, restaurants, and the YMCA which we used multiple days. Would definitely come back to this cottage!"

Colonial Inn Motel

10/10 Excellent

"I dispise it when people want a Ritz-Carlton room for a Motel 6 price and then complain! This motel was a joy. It is the kind of motel my family used to stay in on trips in the 60's. It met my needs completely. It is very reasonably priced for a property on the beach, so it was very convienent for my daily fishing with my grandson. While it should be taken for granted, I will state the room was clean and odor free. The bed was firm, which is how I prefer them with lower back issues; other's opinions may vary. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and actually seemed to appreciate our business. I would not hestitate to book another stay in the future."

Soundfront Cottage In the Water - One of a Kind Sunsets - Dock and 3 Decks

10/10 Excellent

"This property is magical! Relaxing on the porch hammock swing overlooking the water is a treat. The outdoor shower allows you to clean up after a day at the beach or sound while watching a beautiful sunset. The hosts are amazing and a breeze to communicate with. The place is cozy, clean, artsy, and has a story behind it as well. Everything you need is included, down to laundry pods and nightlights. I highly recommend!"

Oceanfront, dog friendly, walkway to beach, cozy historic cottage- Island Dancer

10/10 Excellent

"We spend every Fourth of July in the Outer Banks, and this was hands down our favorite place we've stayed! It was the perfect cottage for our family of five (plus our Golden Retriever).The cottage was cozy, spotless, thoughtfully appointed, and had everything we needed for a relaxing week at the beach. One of our favorite parts was the easy beach access, which made trips back and forth with three kids and our dog so simple. We also loved being just minutes from our favorite Outer Banks restaurant, Tortuga's Lie. We usually rent a larger home with a pool, so we were a little nervous we'd miss that amenity—but honestly, we didn't miss it one bit! We had perfect beach weather all week, and the cottage was within walking distance of mini golf, great restaurants, and ice cream, making it an ideal location for our family.As an added bonus, it had the best view of the Fourth of July fireworks show we've ever had in all our years coming to the Outer Banks. It made an already special tradition even more memorable.We even had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating. You can tell they truly care about their guests' experience.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming, family-friendly place to enjoy the Outer Banks!"

Breakers | Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect oceanfront location! Very private and cozy feeling. Very well appointed kitchen! Lots of pans and bowls! Also, easy access ti everything. Breakers is a gem. Fantastic customer service, we had some confusion with remotes but, it was taken care of right away, same day. Thank for the memories!"

Cozy Cute Historic Sea Spray Cottage #1

10/10 Excellent

"Sea Spray Cottage #2 was super cute! My family of 5 enjoyed staying there for the long 4th of July weekend! The outdoor shower, the walkable distance to the beach and Jockey’s Ridge Park, and seeing fireworks from the front porch were all great perks!"

Semi-Oceanfront, Heated Pool and Hot Tub!

8/10 Good

"This house was excellent for our large, 3 generations, family! Everyone had a bedroom with bathroom. We all enjoyed the pool, hot tub, sand volleyball court & cornhole. The beach access was close - easy walk. Sitting on deck you can see the ocean. There were some minor issues but if the house was too pristine it would have been worrisome. There is alot to do in this area. Thank you Colin for all your commuications. We truly enjoyed our stay!"
