''most of the other reviews are accurate - this is indeed an old motel that needs renovation. but its in a great area and is extremely affordable ($150 is affordable for peak season in the OBX) - especially with limited pet-friendly options in the nag's head area. its right on the beach and close to restaurants and attractions. the SUPER friendly and accomodating staff makes up for the basic rooms and pool area. i'd recommend it if you're a low-maintanence person just looking for a place to crash...''

''My husband, son and I stayed for 3 nights in July and we loved it! Very clean rooms for an older motel, right on the beach, next to the fishing pier and the staff were so nice. The pool was also nice. The parking is tight other than that we will stay here again....''

''The wife and I stayed here and had a great time. The Owners where very helpful with parking and everything else we needed....''

''This was our first stay at the Tar Heel and we were very satisfied with our stay. The room was very clean and roomy. The bathroom also was very clean.
The pool was nice and clean also. The service was great. I would recommend this motel to my friends and to anyone who is looking for a nice clean place to stay.
There was a stairway to the ocean right across the beach road. Good location....''

''Room was very clean and private balcony had spectacular view of beach. Efficiency a bit tight but had everything we needed including a stove. Would stay again....''

''Thank ya'll for a wonderful stay. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definately be back on the weekend of May 23-26 of 2008. I don't think I have stayed in a better place on the beach in a very long time. I dont normally give out my age, but I have been coming to Nags Head since I was 2 years old and out of those 34 years I have been coming down there, I can't remember a more pleasant stay. Once again, thank you very much. I will be in touch very soon for reservations on the earlier mentio...''

''Locality & price the best we found. We liked the fact that it was a short walk to the waterfront and retaurants were convenient to the motel. It was a great place to stay....''

''Having stayed at the Manor several times and gotten to know the different owners over the years we cant say enough good things about our stay. We have ALWAYS had Very Clean accommodations, clean linens, clean utensils/dishes,ect. Very family friendly atmosphere, especially close to the beach and right in the Heart of all the excitement. Easy acsess to any where you want to go. No words could ever desribe the beauty of the Outer Banks- but being able to stay at such a great place is deffinatly a...''

''True Outer Banks atmosphere...have stayed there several times and keep coming back.Rooms are adequate and clean with a great staff.Shopping and nightlife are close by.One day drive from Canada makes it a great option to Florida for me....''

''I have been coming here for the past few years and the people who are managing this place now are doing an awsome job. Thanks Samantha and Che! They have kept the rooms cleaned and the service great. When we come down, Che always knows the fishing report and they always come down and go fishing with us on the beach that is right outside our door. This is also one of the very few places to bring your pets. We love it here....''
