I could believe how simple check in was. The ocean view from my room was spectacular; I sat on the balcony quite some time not wanting to leave. Though it was a chilly and windy day, the roughness of the ocean waves was beautiful. The room is exceptionally clean and cozy. I’m so glad I came.

The buildings are older, but the rooms are redone. We were wondering how it would be once we were in the tight hallways, but once in the room it was good. Best part is hearing the ocean all night, being able to walk right to the beach and restaurants within walking distance. Parking can be tricky if you come back late. (Like after dinner)

Our room had been fully renovated and the decor was so "beachy", clean and crisp! Between the turquoise blue paint, trimmed in white, and the bathroom fixtures and vanity...it was classy and tastefully updated. The views from our balcony were incredible, and it was easy access to the beach. I love the new gazebo on the beach! We WILL be back in the future! Thanks for an awesome stay!

My boyfriend and I stayed at John yancey inn during our spring break in march. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again. The room seemed to be recently updated and was clean and spacious. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect, as it was close to several different tourist hot spots in the outer banks. Roanoke island was only 20-30 minutes. Right across the street from a great restaurant “kill devil grill” and walking distance from several others.
