Search Houseboats in Coastal North Carolina

"This was a great, affordable option for a last minute overnight stay for my family. We enjoyed the breakfast and 24/7 coffee and tea options. They even had the good creamer and a cinnamon shaker! Friendly and helpful staff, plus a late check-out two whole hours after the standard check-out time!"

"The property is great and right on the beach! We enjoyed a beautiful walk on the beach each day! "

"The staff and breakfast were both great! "

"Room was clean but the walls are thin, herd everyone walking by and the neighbors alarm clock continuously going off."

"This place was great we stayed in a king room with kitchenette (2 burner, large fridge, microwave). It had a little dinning table for 3 and spacious bathroom. Everything was clean and the turquoise color was fun. Being right on the beach was great and they have a really nice gazebo/sitting area with lots of different kinds seating to enjoy the ocean view. The staff was very friendly and the continental breakfast area was super clean and well stocked and nice. I was really impressed. Don't expect a fancy buffet of course but it definitely exceeded my expectations. My 3 year old loved the playground and it was right outside our room. Super convenient. We ate at plaza aztecha for dinner which was great and good service if you want Mexican. Only cons was I wish there had been a can opener in the kitchenette and a sponge and small thing of dish soap. Not a big deal but It's usually provided at other places I've stayed with a kitchenette. Also bring paper plates and bowls that is not provided as well. However they do provide paper towels, pots pans skillet and cooking utensils. Convenient location near lots of stores if you forget something- Publix, Target, TJ Maxx, etc. Great place for a great price! I would recommend and stay again"

"Great stay! The only issue was the heat/air fan that we couldn’t turn off. It created a constant draft and was very annoying. The breakfast was phenomenal! We never experienced such a fantastic free breakfast. They also offered a welcome reception with appetizers and 2 free drinks per person per night! Wow! It was a nice touch. "

"Great hotel. Great view. Great experience"

"This hotel and all the staff go above and beyond every single time I stay with them! I travel to NC from Seattle approximately every 3-4 months and will only stay at the Ballast!!!"

"Clean facilities. Easy checkin and checkout. Complimentary wine and beer was a nice touch. Continental breakfast was pretty standard."
