"This is an absolutely stunning cottage. We had the most wonderful time and the host was very accommodating. We had dates staying over a hurricane that was planning to come through and the host gave us wonderful and helpful information, and several options to help out with the situation. We would definitely stay here again!"

Sunset Motel

10/10 Excellent
"I was familiar with this motel...50 years ago! I was going back to NC for my 50th class reunion. New owners and a definite remodeling made this the perfect place to stay! Although I never met the owners face-to-face, it was a great pleasure to work with them. They accommodated my late arrival, (got to love delayed flights), had a tasty basket of breakfast treats for the morning and were overall just fantastic. I was only there three days and frankly expected to just reuse my towel, and sleep in the messy bed again. But elves must have snuck in and completely cleaned the room, made the bed and replaced my towels. If I hang on for 5 more years, I'll be back for the 55th reunion and stay here again!"
