I had an exceptionally positive experience at this establishment. It is a historical site situated in close proximity to the beach. Upon our arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find a wine social in progress, and a delicious breakfast was also provided for us. I highly recommend this location.

Weird when staff can’t find beach towels for a “supposed” beach front property. Room was filthy, shower barely big enough to turn around in. Best to tear it all down and start over as The Second Colony Inn.

The First Colony Inn is a lovely old property in a great location for visiting the Outer Banks. Our room was spacious, clean and well appointed. Buffet breakfast choices were very good and the hot option varied each day. There's a wonderful beach opposite the inn and a good selection of restaurants and shops nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

The service was great, hot and cold breakfast everyday. My only concern was that the blinds, especially in the bathroom lacked the amount of privacy I would prefer.

We loved our stay. Everyone was so kind especially the girl who worked so hard from check in and out serving breakfast cleaning table’s getting us ice. I wish I knew her name. She is a great employee and kind person. She deserves every cent of her pay plus way more. Breakfast’s were delicious. Short walk to the ocean. A very much needed getaway! Thank you for everything!
