Fantastic location and beautiful rooms!
The owners have taken an old motel and turned it into beautiful beach style rooms with an excellent location. There are no dirty corners. Go to Sam and Omi’s for food, because it’s the best. The only recommendations I would make is for the owners to provide a plunger because it’s on septic and a flyswatter because it’s by the beach. Thank you! We will be back.

Nice hotel, needs better pillows
Great! The air conditioning should not shut off constantly and the pillows are very cheap and not comfortable at all but otherwise it was great!

The room was very nice and clean. Decorated very nice. It is a great place to stay for a night. Pets are welcome. You dont see as any staff because you just check in and out with a code on your door. The beach is a walk across the street. There is a great! restaurant on the premises. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast there with very reasonable prices. When I walked my dog the grass is long and fire ants are there. The wall air conditioner is loud. But all in all like I said great for a night then on to the rental home we got in Kill devil.

The hotel is a classic style reminiscent of the 50s and 60s yet it has amenities such as microwave, toaster oven, keurig coffee maker, and mini fridge. The only problem was that the wi-fi was never available. The receptionist said that they had called for repair but it never happened in our 3 night stay. I would gladly stay here again.

It was a normal motel room, nothing fancy. I liked the small fridge, microwave oven, and toaster oven. The service was so so. When they would come, they would forget to replenish soap, toilet role, shampoo, and coffee etc. The shower had some glue type marks, and they did not go away. The airconditioner water left a unlighly mark outside.

Given it is a Motel, they did good. I had several “must haves” and they ticked the boxes. Within Nags Head, dog friendly without conditions, near the beach, a nice pool, reasonable cost. There is a neighboring restaurant The Dunes that we used a few times but check their hours, not always open. The staff were a little intimidated by our two large dogs but still smiled and vacuumed up our mutts dog hair without complaint. So would i book Tar Heel again, yes.

Bathroom is tiny. Parking is interesting. You park “right” outside your door , or within a few feet of it. Public beach access is right across the street. The room was clean and the staff was friendly.
