The Shutters was a great hotel for my first trip to Kill Devil Hills. I didn't deal with the hotel staff all that much but they were pleasant whenever I did. The room was clean. The indoor pool and hot tub were well maintained. I would definitely suggest staying here and will probably do so on my next trip.

Dear Shutters; Not a bad location; beach area is just average for the area. Here's where you failed MISERABLY - when a customer contacts you TWICE about it being their ten year wedding anniversary, and you assure the customer that you will put up a lousy two cent banner (not your words, but it's probably all it's worth) of some...

Stayed here for Memorial Day Weekend. We paid extra for the 2nd floor "partial view" of the water, received room 233. This is basically a view of the sea grass - you barely see the water - and certainly do not see the waves breaking on the shore (even if you stand on a chair). There was a gas smell... More

Stayed here one night during our US holiday. It was clean and comfy but could do with a bit of a refurb. The walls are quite thin but fortunately we were not disturbed in the night. The location is nice, although we didn't have a sea view. The complimentary breakfast was ok. Staff friendly and helpful.

After staying at multiple locations on the Outerbanks, there is truly no competition for Shutters. The site is beautiful and well maintained. The rooms were spacious and efficiencies included a full size fridge, range, AND oven! The beds are lined to prevent bedbugs and other mites, which made me feel very comfortable sleeping. The site feels like a cozy little... More

Had no problems booking the room. We were told the hotel was "Ocean front" but no one mentioned that there were high sand dunes blocking every bit of view of the ocean from the hotel, unless you were in one of the few rooms on the very top floor of the one building that would allow you to peek over...

My husband and I visit the Outer Banks several weekends out of the year, all seasons. We discovered Shutters about a year ago and Love it! The price is Excellent, the rooms are clean, and the views are awesome! It is fairly quiet for a beach motel. The staff has always been helpful and friendly and the continental breakfast has... More

We just got home after spending three nights. I had been reading reviews and it was well worth it. It was our first visit to the Outer Banks and I know I will be back. The hotel was very clean. The only problem is as soon as you walk in the door the bathroom is right there and it is... More

Just got back from 4 nights at this great place. Not being seasoned Outer Banks visitors, the hotel desk staff were a great help in giving us a great list of things to do, where to eat, etc. Their suggestions were right on the mark. We were lucky to have a third floor room with a great view, worth the... More

We always go to Shutters when we visit the OBX. The staff is always polite, friendly and helpful. This visit was no exception. I had trouble finding a vacancy anywhere for this particular reason, but luckily one opened up at Shutters last minute. Our room was comfy, clean & ocean front which was awesome. You can't beat the price either.... More
