We stayed overnight at this little motel on the Outer Banks. I had called ahead to check for a room for one night, which was available. We did not have an oceanfront room, which was OK, because we got in kind of late. The room (a double) was a little small, but that was fine with us. Be advised that... More

We stayed in duplex #232. During the second week of May. This is off season which we liked not crowded at all. Almost everything was open. If you have younger children, I would suggest walking further south on the beach to swim. The water is not as deep and the beach is bigger. We talked to some of the locals... More

My fiance and his family have stayed here many times in his life and I have been blessed to stay here a few times over the years but none in the past 2 years. I recently have had some pretty bad experiences with hotels so when we booked our two night stay for May 2013 I was a little hesitant.... More

I stood here twice (June 2010 and September 2012. Sorry for the late review) and my family and I loved it here. Located in the quiet southern part of the Outer Banks it was quite a relaxing stay. The views of the Atlantic from our 3rd floor, semi private. balcony was awesome to take in with a glass of the... More

I agree with all of the post about the view of the ocean, great view. The rooms are clean but again they are dated. If you plan on cooking their kitchen is dated along with everything in it. Cooking would be difficult The pool is new and nice. The negatives about it is that the people who run the place... More

Stayed at the Lighthouse View during the 3rd week in April. The motel is quite large, but was very quiet at this time of year. The view was spectacular & the room was roomy & clean. It was dated, but had that old-time shore feel. It would be a great place for beach lovers in summer. My only real complaint... More

A friend and myself both booked rooms for a few days in April while we explored and did some photography around the Outer Banks. The price was reasonable for a top-floor oceanfront room and the location is awesome. There is of course some damage from the winter storms to many of the buildings in the area and considerable beach erosion,... More

We choose this property because of all the reviews on Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. Our room was on the third floor and ocean front. The room was big and roomy! The view was amazing. We were thrilled with our room. The sound of the ocean at night was wonderful to listen to. This is a wonderful place to... More

We stayed at the Lighthouse for three nights. This was a great little motel right on the ocean, centrally located on the Outerbanks (one hour each from Nags Head and Ocracoke) and right next to the Cape Hattaras lighthouse. The room was very clean and good size although somewhat dated. Don't be discouraged that breakfast isn't included. There is an... More

We celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary here recently. We were in the oceanfront king room. It was off season, so it was extremely quite. Our room was extremely clean. And the view was awesome. We enioyed our stay, and maybe next year we will rent a cottage closer to the ocean.
