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

''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....''

''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...''

''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....''

''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...''

''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...''

''We stay at the Cavalier every year in Ocotber and found it to be wonderful....no frills, just wonderful. Staff is excellent and right on the ocean is such a rare thing to find....''

''Went online and made reservations for an efficency (Mon-Thurs.) I must say while the hotel room was somewhat aged. This place was very enjoyable!!! Very close to eats and shops. By the way, Dunes Resturant and Fat Joes WERE AWESOME!!!! Make sure that online rates reflect rates at check-in. Plus we were able to reserve our room for another night for a very reasonable price. Pool and Beach were not very crowded for August. Over All I would recommend this Hotel to friends....''

''I have stayed at Captains Landing on two occasions. Both experiences were wonderful. The owners are pleasant and went out of their way to make our stay special. The facilities were clean, nicely decorated and the view was amazing. I will return and hope to stay in the Pent House the next time....''

''The Sanderling is not only in a perfect location but it's feel is like a big open lodge. The staff is out to take care of you, The rooms are spacious with a spectacular view. I really love the atmosphere, the afternoon tea, the big reading room and the free Sunday papers!...''

''has nice campgrund. clean bathrooms.great pool. right at the beach...''

''Quiet an scenic with great food. kayaking on the sound was great. we saw otters and a bald eagle. the sunsets are wonderful. unique decor and woodworking....''

''I'm a bargain shopper; sometimes I have to expect less of a hotel in order to save money. I didn't expect to find a great deal right on the beach, but the Quality Inn far exceeded my expectations. The room was clean and in great condition, the staff was very courteous and friendly, the view of the ocean was incredible, and I didn't even break my budget.
We did go just before the beginning of the tourist season, and many of the rooms were being renovated (new carpet, furniture, and fixtures)....''

''We just got back from a weekend @ Ch KOA. It was a great trip! Lots for the kids to do. They had a blast! The staff was very helpful and friendly. It was well kept, very clean. They were quick with anything you needed. We will be going back as often as possible. We are hooked!...''

''I took my son and mother down for a long weekend over Memorial Day this year. We stayed ocean front for less than we could have stayed a block away at many other locations. We could leave the front door or curtains of our three bedroom suite open and see the waves rolling in. There are fancier rooms, but why pay more when the rooms are clean, well furnished and right on the beach? The staff was friendly and we had no complaints. Will stay again....''

''The service was not so good, however the place was great for what you need it for...just sleeping. Don't expect to get clean towels, or toilet paper when needed but do expect to get a room for about $100.00 less a night then every other place in town....''

''Hostess is great! Easy comfort in a quaint atmosphere. Well appointed rooms with quiet elegance. Lots of privacy and close to lots of fun places, restaurants, shopping and Shallowbag Bay! I grew up here and it's like coming home!...''

''Hey, right on the water, a microwave and fridge in the room and you have great water views. Nice people. And, BONUS...next to Breakwater Restaurant.

A Thumbs Up here...''

''Really unsure when i reserved the villa, but on such short notice really no choice, however when i arrived my husband and i were really impressed nice a really quaint place and sooo peaceful plan to bring the whole family next time...''

''This place is not your run of the mill campground. It is smaller then the other campgrounds in the area. But if you are a tent camper of a small pop up camper this is the place to go. Price is alot cheaper then the big ones. You dont have a pool, but can swim in the sound just behind you. You have water and electic at you site, and there is a bath house. The family that owns and runs it is very nice, and always willing to assist. The price of this campground is the same as the goverment...''

''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 and I stayed here several times over the last few years. One trip that particularly comes to mind was in September 2002. Our car had been flooded in a tropical storm so we were stranded there. The staff couldn't have been nicer. The first day we arrived, we were wet from being out in the rain, had no luggage (it was in the flooded car) and our car was stuck on highway 12. They helped make arrangements to get the car towed in, took my husband to get us something to eat and brought us a...''

''What a wonderful off-the beaten path place. It's immaculate and Joe is a sweetheart. This is not only his business, but his home as well and he treats everybody like a cherished friend. We recommend everybody stay here....''
