We spent many hours sitting in the covered patio area, which was full of beautiful tropical plants in containers (the host has a wonderful green thumb!) and pleasant breezes.

The condo was gorgeous and very spacious. The second bedroom air wasn’t working and it was VERY hot in that room. I called on our second day to get it fixed and no one ever called me back or came to try and fix it. My son ended up sleeping terribly because of the heat.

10/10 Excellent
"Our room was exceptionally clean and bright. The paint was new, or looked new, and it brightened the room considerably. We did have an issue with the toilet after midnight. I went down to the desk, and reported it, and the maintenance man was there at 7:00am the next morning. It worked for a day, and went on the blink again. I reported it again, and the chief engineer showed up. He fixed it for good. Very prompt service. All of the staff were friendly."

"This was our first family trip to the Outer Banks and Shutters on the Banks was a great place to stay. One of the few hotels that still provides daily room cleaning. This meant we had fresh towels and they even vacuumed. The free breakfast and being on the beach was great to have with kids. The two pools were also a welcome break from the ocean waves at the end of the day. Overall, this was a great location on the beach and close to several restaurants and attractions.
