Top South Nags Head Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn South Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay. Hotel was in the perfect location, right on the beach. Staff were extremely helpful. Rooms were clean and we were provided plenty of towels on request. The only thing I’d like to suggest is breakfast. As a plant based eater it would’ve been nice to have had an option of non-dairy milk for cereals, coffees. Our rate included breakfast but I needed to go to the store for items. But still 10 out of 10"

Well kept, comfortable, Ocean View, Steps to Beach, Sunrise & Sunset Views

10/10 Excellent

"We are very appreciative for the opportunity that the owners afforded us. It was really great to be able to have the family per with us. It's a really nice house with a nice configuration with an open kitchen dining and living area. The upper level has a nice deck that you have water view and easy to access from the kitchen for morning coffee or evening meal at sunset, and thoughtful to have high chairs so there is no railing obstruction. The grill on the lower level is useful also. Wall to the beach is easy enough to do three times per day for a week. Coquina is also a very short drive. Very ideal for a nice week at the beach. Thank you Laila and Ridley!"

Dolphin Oceanfront Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Here is an honest review for those looking to discover OBX. The Dolphin is strategically located right on the beach. Everyday you'll have the opportunity to walk through a small little tunnel and you have your own Beach. I found this to be great you literally have airbnbs across the street and the big differences they have to use the public beaches. The Dolphin also . Leads you into Hatteras which is great if you have an off-road vehicle. The staff were wonderful always accommodating. They leave you alone you won't see them unless you need something everyone there was polite and the guy who runs the place Jim is fantastic. While it might not be for everyone if you're the person who's looking to get away with your spouse and you're not even going to spend that much time where you stay this place is perfect. It's literally get up in the a.m. come home at the end of the day and then you can walk in the evening and everything's right there. It really was what we were looking for."

Pierview Unit 205 - Just One More Splash, OBX Oceanfront Condo

10/10 Excellent

"My first time in OBX and discovered there's not much to do within walking distance. We had to drive out to the main strip for everything. That must be an OBX thing, most ocean vacation towns everything is close by. As far as the actual property, The elevator was supposed to be fixed by spring according to the listing. We stayed June 15-19. Elevator although being worked on, was not fixed. Not the hosts fault. There was luggage lifts at least. The condo was nice. The only issues I had was the remotes were a bit wonky, the master bathtub wasn't as clean as I would've liked and there was a giant stain on the carpet in the main living area. Not the hosts fault, but the cleaners need to clean better. They gave us a roll of paper towels, TP and dish soap but no sponge. Thought that was a little odd. The glass slider in the bedroom was really hard to open, the one in the living room not as hard. Not sure if it's just from age but it was kind of a pain when going in and out. Ended up leaving an entire day early due to cruddy weather but not anything the host did. The property was chill, the people were nice and the location to the ocean can't be beat. The appliances were new compared to previous photos. The BBQ grills on property were all broken but one. Not the hosts fault again. The management of the complex should be doing their part bc it makes the hosts look bad. I would totally rent again if I was to return to OBX again."

Little Pink Cottage OBX - 50 steps to your Private Beach Access!

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect place for us to stay with one other couple for the weekend! The hosts were very accommodating, the place was very clean, we were so close to the beach and a very short distance to fish heads. 10/10 recommend this cute little house!"

Enjoy your magnificent ocean views from your huge balcony!

8/10 Good

"Right out of the gate I'd rate it 5 stars. Great location, very clean condo, well equipped kitchen, but I'd take away 1 1/2 stars for various things. The elevator still was not operational even though it was being work on for 2 of the days we were there. The pools were just opened the last couple of days of our stay, and the biggest thing, the owner of the condo above us is doing renovations to his condo during most of the week (during the day 8am-4pm fortunately) and it was quite loud inside, and even on the beach outside. Understanding he had the right to do that, but it happened during our vacation."
