''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...''

''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....''

''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....''

''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...''

''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,...''

''It was walking distance to the beach, short drive to the marina and just an over all good location for what we wanted. The rooms were not 5 star but nice. Would have been better with 2 baths but we made do. We would stay there again....''

''This is a great place to stay during off season. The view is wonderful and the location is perfect. This was the first time I went to Nags Head off season. This is a great place to have a romantic weekend getaway. The indoor pool and hot tub overlooks the ocean, which makes it really relaxing. The service is excellent and the hotel employees and management team were very friendly. Two thumbs up for this hotel. We are going to start going here during the off season every year....''

''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...''

''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 stay here every year....I couldn't stay anywhere else...''

''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 loved the deck which went from the hotel out to the beach. We were pleasantly surprised when we received our final check out form and saw how little this experience had cost us....''

''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....''

''Wondeful Cosmos, beautiful setting and the food was fantastic. The pasta bar was fun...you picked what you wanted in your pasta and the chef prepared it right in front of you.
Had the most amazing appetizer; crab and wild mushroom cheesecake, a big hit with everyone at the table....''
