Top hotels in South Nags Head
Comfort Inn South Oceanfront
This is an older building and it shows in some of the finishes. You can not beat the beach view and access, it is well worth the little rust and older fixtures.

Dolphin Oceanfront Motel
We loved the hotel. Pet friendly, easy beach access and also close to the local restaurants.
