We were not looking for anything fancy and the location looked good. It is! We really didn't need a lot of "hotel experience" because the beach was more important - I can tell from other reviews that people would like to have amenities, but the fridge and microwave were enough.

We were coming to see my daughter who was working in Manteo for the summer and we wanted something close to the ocean that wasn't too expensive. The Tar Heel Motel was reasonably priced and in a great location. The rooms were clean and so was the pool area. more

We stayed at the Tar Heel Motel in July. Rates were great. We were on the Beach Road across the street from the beach. Beach access was just a few steps away.
