Had some issues with check in as we booked the two room apartment at the motel but were conveniently "switched" to a cottage... they said the cottage was within walking distance to the motel and beach... cottage was on the sound and a solid mile or two from the hotel. We got switched back but they booked the apartment the last few days of our trip so I'm assuming that's why they tried to switch us... no compensation was made, which was pretty lame.

Outside of that, the two bedroom room was nice... clean and had a nice kitchenette. When we switched to the two single rooms one was a smoking room, or at least it smelled that way, so that wasn't very pleasant.

The pool is very nice and a great location with very little traffic. The beach access was top notch and we could leave our stuff on the beach.

Overall, if you want to be in the Village of Hatteras area this is a great motel... quite and nice and not very spendy, especially if you get the two bedroom apt for a large family.

great motel! clean rooms, private beach, pool. Located in Hatteras Village, great food all around, and about 3 mins to the Ocracoke ferry. Will def go back, great place for the price

This nice little hotel is everything you need for a peaceful Hatteras Island visit. We stayed here with our two small children in July, and seemed to be the only "family" there (it seemed to mostly have couples enjoying the quiet). The hotel was not fully booked while we were there, and we were often the only ones using the pool. We were originally booked for four nights, but ended up staying an extra night because we were having so much fun.

The small size of this hotel gives it a nice "homey" feeling; the staff were very friendly and accomodating. Our room was always clean and stocked with all we needed.

The vacationers enjoyed sitting out in front of their rooms reading and chatting from time to time. The beach is just over the dune, and views were available from the second floor. We'll definitely be staying at this hotel the next time we visit the Outer Banks!

A brief overnight stay at the Seagull was awesome. My room was pretty and bright and clean, with nice decor. The hotel is brand new, having been completely rebuilt after Isabel. Every room seems to have a view of the ocean. The office staff was friendly and professional. The pool was very nice. The beach is gorgeous in front of the hotel. And the price was incredibly low for a pretty little oceanfront motel. I loved it!
