Top Kill Devil Hills Hotel Reviews

Cypress House Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Bill and Veda are the most wonderful innkeepers we have met in our travels. Their home is very clean and welcoming, the rooms spacious with mini fridge, hulu tv, and they offer bottled water, ice machine access downstairs. The breakfasts were phenomenal with attention paid for food allergies. They offer beach towels, chairs and umbrellas to use for the beach which has access right across the street. But most of all they are the kindest and most interesting couple sharing stories of their travels and the local area for us to check out."

Mariner Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"Location was excellent and the room clean and comfortable however, the grounds and buildings need updating. The pool water was cloudy and the parking lot is small."

Days Inn by Wyndham Kill Devil Hills Oceanfront - Wilbur

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was small but perfect. We were out most of the time but crashed when we got back . Only suggestion would be to ditch small containers of soap ect , too wasteful and not great for the environment. Wall units are the best , plus you save money without waste"

Shutters on the Banks

10/10 Excellent

"Only stayed one night, but it was a nice clean room with an ocean view balcony. Wish the tv was updated to allow for connecting streaming services for the kids."
