We have stayed here going on 3 years in a row and will continue to. The staff and owner are very nice! We took our honeymoon there and anniversary trips as well, looking forward to going again this year. We stay in the oceanfront apartments and they were well equipped with dishes and the rooms were nice and neat, not... More

Well located base to explore the Outer Banks. This motel reminded me of old beach houses I have stayed at. I hadn't been in this area for over 40 years but I remember taking long walks on the beach day and night and seeing old hulks of shipwrecks along the way. Alas, the shipwrecks have been moved to the Graveyard... More

My wife and I stayed in top-floor, ocean front kitchenette during July 2010 and enjoyed a quiet week at the beach. The motel is on the South end of National Park land so the beach below us was never crowded. Buxton isn't the hectic beach scene you find farther up the coast in Nags Head and Kill Devil Hills -...

We just got back from our first stay on the Outer Banks…it won’t be out last! The motel was perfect. The location is to die for! Our room was on the 3rd floor facing the ocean. What a view! The sound of the waves was so relaxing. The beach is sandy, clean, and not crowded at all. The room had... More

This hotel is absolutely wonderful! The view is the best in the OBX and the rooms are perfect! Being able to walk out your door and be overlooking the ocean is well worth the money. The people are so welcoming and very friendly! Check out all the local places-Fatty's and Burger, Burger are great! Take a kayak tour from Fatty's... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here this past weekend for a quick weekend getaway. I had never been to Cape Hatteras and the Cape Hatteras Motel was perfect for the stay. We had an oceanfront room; it was right on the beach, great view. The staff was very nice, not at all bothersome. The bed was GREAT! (beds are important... More

We stayed here last season as well, but in an oceanfront room. It was a lot cleaner. My expectations we not high, but was disappointed nonetheless. One thing I do require is a clean room. Last year, we got a clean room. Not this year. The livingroom cushions are filthy, the bedrooms as well, our showerhead was missing and the... More

There seem to be some widely varying reviews on here about this property. The Cape Hatteras Motel has a mix of different room types ranging from townhouses to apartments, efficiencies and basic rooms. I paid for an apartment and was quite pleased with it. The apartment was spacious, the kitchen was well supplied with pots, pans, cooking utensils etc. There... More

We stayed at the Cape Hatteras Motel for the location. Unless you have a beach club condo or weekly apartment rental unit, there is really nowhere to stay on Hatteras Island, and our sea view room was right on the beach—and I mean just a few feet away from the rolling breakers. There were rocking chairs on the veranda and... More

Just got back from here yesterday. Stayed 3 nights in 3rd floor room. The steps are worth the view over the dunes. The room was fairly basic, but we had a toaster, microwave, refrigerator and daily cleaning service. I gave it 4 stars for cleanliness, because the bathroom showed signs of wear & tear. But i knew i was heading... More
