Recent Reviews in Coastal North Carolina

Shutters on the Banks

8/10 Good

"Small tables and chairs in the breakfast room to provide more seating. It would also make it easier to move around."

John Yancey Oceanfront Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Stay was awesome! Courteous staff and great experience! Totally recommend!"

Compass by Margaritaville Beaufort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Compass. It’s a beautiful property with awesome views of the marina. You can easily walk to the waterfront and enjoy the restaurants, shops and waterfront there. We will definitely be back again."

The Sanderling

8/10 Good

"The Sanderling is an excellent resort that is well maintained and full of amenities. The staff is professional, friendly, and courteous. We had a fantastic king suite with an ocean view. Please be aware that the building does not have elevators, so we had to lug our suitcases up and down four flights of stairs to our third-floor room. Navigating stairs is also the only way into the main entrance, so be prepared to carry your luggage—not exactly ADA-compliant. Additionally, our room featured two very large TVs: one in the living room and one in the adjacent bedroom. While convenient, both remotes operated both TVs simultaneously; turning on the bedroom TV would cause the living room TV to turn on to its previous channel and volume level, which was frustrating. With all of that said, the Sanderling is still a wonderful choice for a beach vacation in the Outer Banks!"
