Top Nags Head Hotel Reviews

Mia's Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice, cost effective, near to beaches and clean place to stay,"

The First Colony Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I went on a 3 night solo vacation to the beach. It was the perfect proximity to walk to the beach, Jeannette’s Pier, breakfast and dinner locations, and ice cream at Booty Treats. It was beautifully maintained with a great pool. The private walkway to the beach was convenient and easy to access. The staff were super helpful and accommodating. The room was comfortable and quiet. I loved that there was a Keurig and mini fridge in my room. The only thing I’d change about this place is the shower head. The shower is a little tight, which is not an issue, but the shower head doesn’t move and it a little intense on the pressure without a way to escape it without turning the water off while washing your hair. A smaller, removable shower head would be ideal for this kind of shower for sure. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone and absolutely plan to go back and stay again."

Sea Foam Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The Sea Foam Motel is a hidden gem. It's our favorite place to be when we visit the OBX. The staff are very personable, friendly, and down to earth! Their rates are very affordable to be right on the beach and includes a pool! We love that they are pet friendly. Our little fur babies absolutely love it there! We are hooked and will be life-long quests! Our next trip is already booked!"
