Top Nags Head Hotel Reviews

Seahorse Inn and Cottages

8/10 Good

"I liked the bed and soft bedding. Manager was helpful and escorted us to the room to explain how the key code works. Beach is cross the street ."

SandSpur Ocean Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I stayed for 3 days during the first week of September '26. It was clean and comfortable and, as advertised, it is right on the beach. I had set up my first shipwreck dive with Roanoke Island Dive Shop, which was a beach dive about 9 miles down the road. While I was doing that, wifey just strolled out of our cottage and hit the beach for a while. Very convenient location to watch the sunrise over the ocean. I would stay there again. My only complaint is that our cottage didn't have any curtains. The property stays lit up at night and the blinds over the windows were not enough to block out that light."

Holiday Inn Express Nags Head Oceanfront by IHG

8/10 Good

"The location, breakfast and pool are the best points. The building definitely needs some upgrades. Our balcony had a large crack and rust. The room itself was nice but dirty. Came into handprints all over the ocean view window. There was something spilled on the coffee machine and floor near fridge. I found several pieces of trash in our room upon coming into the room.We were out of towels and soap and it took multiple requests to get any. At night there is just one worker and he is running ad there is no one to help him. We plan to return to nags head but would probably try another place."

Oceanside Court by Kees Vacations

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second time staying there. I love that the beach is just on the otherside of the steps just outside of the efficiency. Other than the handsoap in the bathroom being empty and the table and one of the chairs being dirty/sticky (nothing that a lysol wipe couldn't fix) I enjoyed the stay there and will stay there again whenever I am able to return to the area."
