''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...''

''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 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...''

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

''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...''

''Nice large rooms. Stayed 2 nights but in different rooms. 1st room was nice and clean, not worn. 2nd room, two rooms over, was dirty and very worn. Guess it depends on which room you get. Kind of pricey, but not outrageous. Better with AAA discount....''

''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....''

''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....''

''THIS IS A CHARMING HOTEL WITH AN EXCELLENT RESTAURANT. IT IS A LITTLE DATED IN ROOM APPEARANCE BUT AN EXCELLENT VALUE. ANY SEASONAL PACKAGE INCLUDING DINNER/BREAKFAST ADDS TO THE VALUE....''

''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....''

''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....''

''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!...''

''We booked a room here, but the clerk did not write it down, nor run the credit card number provided to her. When we arrived on Saturday to check-in, there were no room available at the Inn. There were no rooms available at all on Hatteras and we were traveling with 2 small children. We were left stranded because of a clerk without any common sense....''

''We have stayed at the campground twice and are planning a third annual trip. We have always had great service. We did have a minor problem late one evening after the office had closed but someone arrived to assist in less than 15 minutes. I highly recommend you consider staying here....''

''Staying at the Cameron House Inn was the best experience we had on the Outer Banks. The outdoor fireplace on the back porch and the beautiful rooms in the arts and crafts style were great. And in addition to a very nice innkeeper, we were made to feel at home by their wonderful ''porch cats''.

Best of all though was the location in Manteo. Out of the rat race and within walking distance of the wonderful shops and restaurants in the historic district.

Great place!...''

''THIS PLACE IS AWFUL!!!! Our family had a reservation there for our family vacation. We expected a nice peaceful hotel, but we were wrong! As soon as we got there, we searched through the streets of Manteo for anything but this hotel! Thank Goodness we found somewhere else so much nicer!...''

''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...''
