Top Nags Head Hotel Reviews

Mia's Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! The beach access is right on the property"

Sea Foam Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Sea Foam Motel! One of the best parts was being able to walk straight onto the beach from our room. Having both a front and back door made it so convenient, and we loved relaxing on the patio with the ocean just steps away. Waking up to an incredible ocean view every morning was the perfect way to start the day. The beds were comfortable, the room had plenty of space, and there were more than enough outlets for all of our devices! If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, beachfront stay in the OBX with easy beach access and beautiful views, we definitely recommend the Sea Foam Motel. We’d happily stay here again!"

Comfort Inn South Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay. Hotel was in the perfect location, right on the beach. Staff were extremely helpful. Rooms were clean and we were provided plenty of towels on request. The only thing I’d like to suggest is breakfast. As a plant based eater it would’ve been nice to have had an option of non-dairy milk for cereals, coffees. Our rate included breakfast but I needed to go to the store for items. But still 10 out of 10"
