Unfortunately, the restaurant was being renovated when we were there. Would have liked to being able to eat without going out.

Property was undergoing renovations. At check in was told that all guests with reservations had been called to inform about renovations in case they wanted to cancel. I checked my phone but had not received a call or voice mail from the property. Had booked 2 oceanfront rooms for 2 nights for us and another couple to attend wedding at property. Second day, the heat was not working so I reported it at 1:30 when we went down for wedding. Returned to room that evening to find that it had not been checked. That night we had no heat (temp in the 30's), were moved to another room which had no heat either. Were then transferred to a basic room which had heat. The other couple travelling with us had no heat in their room either. Refund was given by Expedia for both rooms, but not sure if it was fair because there was no explanation as to how it was calculated. Otherwise property was older but clean, in a good location. Staff seemed overworked. Perhaps our experience would have been different if renovations were not ongoing.

I stay at this hotel when I Birdwatch in the winter in the Outer Banks. When I book with Expedia, I get a $20 coupon that I use for their excellent breakfast. Their Wi-Fi is very fast. They have Turner classic movies. The place is always clean and the staff is very accommodating and kind.

A Good Hotel
Good: Friendly staff, very clean room, perfect location, easy parking, warm pool in the winter. No surprises with fees, also they gave us a $20 coupon for the restaurant, which in the summer has great outdoor seating. Eh: Room has not been updated in awhile, so no USB ports, and everything is just older. Bed is okay in comfort.

Sea Ranch Bug Ridden, Elevator out of service,
Elevator out of service! Had to use stairs to get to and from our room on 4th floor. No advance notice before checking in that elevator was out of service. Our room has roaches. Roaches on kitchen counters, cabinets and drawers. Roaches in bathrooms and bedroom. Informed the front desk, the person at the desk said she would let someone know. NO APOLOGY! I WOULD NOT RECCOMENT THIS PROPERTY TO ANYONE!!! RUN AWAY!!!

Check in staff could have been friendlier. Rooms could use a good deep cleaning and the elevator was sketchy. The views, food at the restaurant, and restaurant staff made up for the rest. If we make it back to the OBX we’ll definitely enjoy another steak.

Unsafe.
The door on the balcony didn't lock. It was easily accessible to anyone. When i told the front desk about it, he mansplained to me how to lock a door. It WAS broken. Smoking on balconies. Pillows rock hard. Old, run down. Restaurant not enjoyable for breakfast. No room service even though room service fliers in room.

Fell in love with the hotel and the town
This was a one night stay over to break up a long road trip south from NJ … I was expecting a nice view but not such a nice hotel/room on top of it! REALLY loved everything about this stay. The view was breathtaking - even nicer than the pics look online. Everything was clean and smelled nice- the products were made of healthy ingredients & the staff went out of their way to make our dinner request exactly as ordered (which seems to be an impossibility these days where we live) we decided to try breakfast since we forgot to use a gift card we were presented when checking in & the breakfast place was right on the beach , super sunny and very surf shack style. We loved everything about this sty we’ll def be back
