"The Island Guesthouse was the perfect place to stay for our quick trip out of town! Our room was so clean and extremely well-maintained. It was really nice because it was away from all the in-season crowds but still close to the beaches and more touristy areas. The whole hotel has a lot of personality and really had We really, really liked it here and we definitely be back for a next trip to the Outer Banks!"

Top Nags Head Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Nags Head Oceanfront by IHG

8/10 Good

"Nice location, close to the beach. Clean and comfortable. "

Dolphin Oceanfront Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This motel was a great value for the location and beach access! The property is basic and simple, but clean and well kept. It's nearly impossible to keep sand out, but there was a broom in the room to handle the sand. The bed was a little squeaky, but comfortable. There is a walkway directly onto the beach with a hose to rinse your feet. The room directly facing the beach looked awesome. I would definitely stay here again for the location and affordable price!"

Surf Side Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was our first time in Nags Head! Surf Side hotel did not disappoint. From the moment we checked in we had a great experience. We were celebrating my mom's 70th birthday and her small welcome gift in the room was such a beautiful surprise!! The hotel was very clean and all the staff were very helpful and accommodating to our needs!! The elevator is slow and breakfast is okay but those were the only 2 things that could be improved in our eyes! Thanks for giving us a great stay. We look forward to coming back and visiting again!! Surf Side will definitely be our hotel!!"

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!"
