''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 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....''

''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...''

''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...''

''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!...''

''We just got back from a visit to Ocracoke and loved the Sanddollar. The rates are very affordable and found the staff to be very friendly. The hotel is very clean and family friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel....''

''I have only stayed at Sea Kove once. But the visit and convienence were as good as any.
They don't offer a bar or lounge but I was there for fun, surf and fishing. The units are clean and affordable. The owners are the best I have ever met. Your experience here will be reminiscent of the past and a prerequisite for future visits. You are centrally located to shopping centers, restaurants and most importantly the water. Great pier fishing is just a few minutes away....''

''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...''

''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....''

''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....''
