10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location of the Inn. Clean and very cute room. Great quick getaway for me and my husband. Would definitely stay here again."

Fin 'n Feather Waterside Inn By Kees Vacations

8/10 Good

"“Water view” is misleading - I assumed we were in the back overlooking the sound. No. We saw the parking lot, the 4 lane road, then a sliver of water. The blinds in our room do not cover the entire window edge to edge. Coffee maker- no cups. No soap in the dispenser at the sink."

Roanoke Island Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very clean and inviting. Lee, the caretaker of the property was wonderful ! Will be back soon !!!"

White Doe Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel prides itself on the wonderful breakfast it prepares and serves, it’s fit for a king. The hotels location is in walking distance to shops and restaurants. Unbeknownst to us our room was on the third floor accessible up a narrow staircase, a bit of a challenge for a 83 yr. old couple."
