''My family loves the OBX, we have been coming here for about 15-17 summers now and just fall more in love every time. We have stayed with this company for many of thoughs fun summers. Thanks for being a great, friendly company....''

''The Castle has a B&B and then they have villas. One of their villas is across the street right on the harbor. It has a phenomenal view of the harbor and a screened porch to enjoy it. It's the only room they have with a King bed and there's a really nice jacuzzi. Be warned that breakfast is not included though - we misunderstood that from the reservationist. We'll be back next fall....''

''Always enjoy working with their company from year to year. They have a great staff and a great selection of homes to choose from....''

''We just got back from a couple of nights in the OBX. Normally we stay in a vacation rental, but this time tried FCI - excellent choice on our part! The bedroom and bathroom were very clean (the better half cannot stand a dirty bathroom and even she commented on how clean things were). Everything is well appointed and very cozy.

We go to Nags Head quite a bit -- in the future, I think we'll extend our stay and spend a couple of nights in First Colony Inn before checking into our vacation renta...''

''My family and I have spent many Christmas weeks at the Outer Banks. We all had a wonderful experience at the Glad Tiding (K-09) home this past week 12/21/-12/28. The home is one to remember and had plenty of room for all to enjoy. Not at any time during our stay did anyone feel as if they were crowding on each other. All amenities were great including the kitchen, elevator, king size beds, indoor swimming pool, home theater, all were there for our enjoyment. The pictures on the website are...''

''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...''

''Upon arriving to the comfort inn south located at nags head we found that it was a mistake to stay here. There was water leakage as you walked into the building. The floors were nasty. As we got on the elevator and came to the floor of our room, there was a horrible odor and everything basically looked skank. Our room was extremely NASTY!!!! I would not recommend anyone taking the chance and staying at this location....''

''new bath houses,fishing pond,loved the quiet & relaxing site.not much for kids & pets.nice for couples that like seclusion...''

''The hotel was very clean, staff was nice and hospitable but the room was small and very common. The bar with live outdoor entertainment across the street was not an appropritate scene for my 12 year old. People were loud and drunk and started fighting when we arrived. The police were called as the fight spilled into the downstairs hotel rooms. The next night there was no fighting but still very loud music very late and drunks. Also the ''continental'' breakfast was a let-down. Packaged muffins,...''

''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....''

''This is an excellent b&b, the annex rooms are the best. The backyard is peaceful, love the use of the hot tub so relaxing. And the breakfast is delightful. Will definitely vist again....''

''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....''

''holiday inn express was very nice it was close to the beach you could walk .the free continenetal breakfast was really great it had more difrent kinds of food on it than i expected...''

''Our family has been staying at the Buxton Beach Motel for nearly 40 years! As a child I remember staying in the very same cottage we stay in today. Its comfortable, clean and a quick walk to the beach. What more could we ask for. The management are friendly and do a wonderful job keeping the units up to date. The location is perfect. You can walk to restaurants, gas station, grocery and gift shops. We like to ride bikes in the evenings and theres plenty of back roads close by for exploring...''

''We've never stayed at the motel, but the gift shop is very, very nice! There's a great selection of clothing (though a bit pricey), but on the other side of the store is a good variety of items. After reading the glowing reviews of the motel, we'll give it a try next time we visit Ocracoke....''
