''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...''

''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....''

''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 have stayed at the Outer Banks Motel for the last 5 years. We come to Buxton 2 times a year. The rooms and service are the best. We have not had a hard time making reservations, even if we call a week in advance....''

''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....''

''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...''

''The Crew's Inn is living history. I have found comfort there as a private retreat. Perfect for artists or writers who search for days of old that still feel new. Thank you!...''

''5 stars...''

''I have stayed at the Buccaneer several times and I always find friendly service and a clean room or Suite. The Motel is right across the street with no buildings between you and the ocean.I would highly reccomend this Motel for those who wish to stay in a clean room or suite without paying a small fortune for the privilage. If you are looking for the Ritz(and it's price) look elsewhere. Otherwise the Buccaneer won't disappoint....''

''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....''

''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....''

''I personally stayed at two of their cottages - Endless Summer and Little Lifeboat. They are wonderful! My husband and I went there just to get away, but now we go every year. I would totally recommend it to ANYONE - with or without kids....''

''Do not stay here, it is a pigsty, staff is unpleasant and housekeeping is the worst I have ever seen. Better off at the Anchorange Inn....''

''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....''

''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....''

''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 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!...''
