Even with the beach erosion that is occurring, we loved our stay here. The room was clean and perfect for our needs. The staff was all welcoming and helpful. We appreciated the communication through texting. They were all amazing and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Everything from top to bottom was outstanding. The room was exactly as advertised. The location was spectacular as it was on the water and walkable to some great restaurants and other conveniences. We didn't expect to use the pool and hot tub but we did because it was in great shape and our kids had a blast. Lastly, and most importantly, we are very grateful to the staff. We left behind a VERY expensive personal item. They reached out by email, text, and call to let us know. Unfortunately we were too far away to come retrieve the item so they dropped everything to get the item to a post office and ship the item directly to us via certified mail. Truly wonderful people here!

Lighthouse View Oceanfront is a special place. We went before the beach nourishment in 2026, and we had a lovely time despite not being able to swim in the ocean in front of our cottage. The pool and spa were a great addition to the clean, well-stocked, modern oceanfront cottage. You cannot beat the ocean views; you won’t find a place closer to the ocean! Abby and her staff were helpful, kind, and friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. My 4 kids had an absolute blast, and we will definitely be back again.

Staff are very helpful, friendly and professional. Great place to stay on beach. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Kitchenette was good and enough cooking supplies, plates and coffee maker available.

My husband and I stayed here a few months ago and we loved it so much we decided to come back again. We called to make sure everything was ok due to the storm surge and the loss of several homes nearby but the staff assured us they were OK and the grounds were fine. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived, the grounds were beautifully kept and the rooms were clean as usual. We will definitely be coming back again!

We spent two nights ( 9/5 - 9/6/2025) at this wonderful hotel. We had an upstair unit with an oceanview The room was nicely decorated in a modern day beach vibe, the beds were comforable , towels were fluffy and absorbent. We slept with the windows open and was lulled to sleep by the sound of the sea. We also used the spa and pool. Perfect I hope to return, and tell everyone about this gem of a family business

We stayed there in April, August, and September, with guests. The view was amazing, the pool was great, and check in and out were convenient. Seeing the wildlife, including dolphins, was a treat. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely return.

This place is fantastic!! We stayed a few nights here prior to our check in at a house further up north! This place was wonderful!! The room was clean!!!!!! We stayed on the third floor and had an ocean front king bed room….it was super comfortable and honestly the 3 flights of steps was not bad! The staff swept them daily and the parking was very convenient! Sergio the maintenance guy helped us into our room d/t a minor malfunction with our keyless entry! Shoutout to Sergio!! Did I mention …. The room was CLEAN?!?! (Shout out to Caty in Housekeeping) We will definitely visit here again! We enjoyed the quiet and calmness that Buxton had to offer! Love , love , love this cozy little vibe!!! (Not my photo)

The view from our cottage was beautiful, we had nice easy access to the beach we were in a great location. It would be nicer if they could invest a little bit more into the rooms, our fridge made a lot of cracking sounds for some reason, there’s occasionally a lone cockroach OUTSIDE on the deck. The kitchenette was great and is pretty clean! TVs had a good amount of channels and the customer support was very good! They replied really quickly and positive, overall it’s worth the stay!

This is not a bad motel but for $270 a night, including the taxes and fees (in 2025), I expected better. The room was nicely renovated but the bathroom was old and small. The plastic shower insert was permanently stained, the old shower head had green corrosion, and the wall paint was peeling. The coastline in front of the hotel is not a beach. It's a narrow, short stretch of sand with big sandbags along its entire length to prevent the ocean from eroding the sand away. We didn't go there any of the 6 days we were there and saw very few people there every time we went to look at the ocean; we always went to Frisco Beach, the closest beach with showers and bathrooms, 20 min away, which was very nice. The motel does not claim to be beachfront, but I think the price should reflect that. In the room there was a piece of paper encouraging us to tip our cleaning lady via Zelle or Apple pay. Again, I would have thought that for the price they charge, they would pay their cleaning staff a fair wage and wouldn't need to ask for tips. The good things about this motel, besides the renovated rooms, are the location and the fact that it doesn't look or feel like a typical motel. Instead of being one large building, it's several smaller buildings connected on the outside by staircases and boardwalks. The area is quiet and quaint. There's a well-stocked, small supermarket 5 min away, a lighthouse with a maritime museum 2 minutes away, and an awesome restaurant (Tavern on 12) 20 min away. Frisco Beach (west of the hotel), which is a south-facing beach, is great and not too crowded in August, and there are many very quiet east-facing beaches north of the hotel, but they don't have bathrooms or showers. I loved staying in the southern Outer Banks, but if I come back, I'll look for other accommodations.
