We spent two nights the day after Christmas and had a really nice visit. Very clean room with comfortable beds and accommodations. The shower had great water pressure . This is a pet peeve of mine especially after staying at Air B&B The private beach access was wonderful. Breakfast was plentiful and amazing. Great central location. The only downside is late check in 4:00 pm. They have a heated indoor pool and hot tub we did not have time to use. We plan to stay again ! Happy Customers Tim & Robin Adams

I give service 3 stars because we were there for 3 days and each morning housekeeping would knock and open the door before we could respond. (We found the do not disturb sign behind the lamp on the table when we were packing to leave.) Two morning I told them that we didn't need service and returned in the afternoon to find that they had serviced the room anyhow, and while I appreciate the tidy room I would have preferred they followed my wishes and left it alone. I don't know if they thought that would garner a tip (larger tip) but it didn't. Otherwise the room was very nice and clean, water pressure in the shower was wonderful. We didn't have breakfast there so I'm sure about that. We will most likely stay again next year.

We had a wonderful stay at Shutters on the Banks, even though the weather wasn’t ideal. The hotel is perfectly located right on the beach, protected by a dune. If you want an ocean view, be sure to book a room on the 3rd or 4th floor — those are labeled as “ocean view” on the reservation site. It’s just a few steps over the dune to the sand and surf. Our room was spacious, spotless, with a balcony overlooking the ocean, and equipped with modern amenities. Housekeeping came by daily, and the entire property felt very well maintained. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise with something for everyone: fresh fruit, waffles, instant oatmeal, hot eggs, bacon, sausage, muffins, bagels, bread, yogurt, milk, juices, coffee, tea, etc. The hot options vary each day, which keeps it interesting if you’re staying for a few mornings. The location is also ideal, with easy access to restaurants and shops throughout Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, and Kitty Hawk. Highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing, comfortable stay on the Outer Banks!

Decent place, good location but is definitely a little dated. I was disappointed they do not have private balconies or an elevator at least in the building I was in. Also, I was not impressed with the breakfast, I was expecting more based on other reviews. Staff were nice and attentive. I was staying there for a wedding and there was a Nor’easter the entire weekend (not the hotels fault).

This place was so enjoyable to stay! Heres the pros and cons Pros- very close to the beach and easily accessible.. the indoor pool was nice and warm. Our room was very comfortable. The free breakfast was delicious and I like that they changed it daily so it wasn't the same old 10 out of 10 loved it. They let you use the pool and beach access before and after check out Cons- do not expect an early check in, even 20mins early. We were there hanging out in the pool and walked to the beach. We saw the house keeper working on our room she was done about 2.5 hours before check in even though we called at 1 and asked to be called when our room was ready. They did let us use the pool there was 2 other families that all recieved a call 17-15mins before the actual check in time to tell us our room was ready. ( our ice maker had enough time to make ice before we got in the room) and since we were in the pool we saw the housekeeper leave our room and never go back thats how we were aware it was clean way ahead of time. Some of the ladies at the front desk arent the most pleasant.. no HI,HELLO,BYE when coming in and out of the lobby One part of the concrete was unleveled and my son fell and another kid fell there as well And the biggest con had nothing to do with them.. it was us.. we had to leave, and I didnt wanna leave and its been several days since ive been home and I cant stop thinking about it. I'll be back next summer and I am already ready to book our next stay

Our family stayed here for the 1st time this year as we normally will rent a house. They were able to get us rooms all side by side, the indoor & outdoor pool option was amazing for the kids especially with the mix of bad weather & tons of jelly fish we experienced while there. The rooms were very clean! The deluxe continental breakfast gave tons of options for everyone to find something they liked to eat & the staff were always very pleasant. Only issue we had while we loved the private wood sidewalk entrance to the beach was the showers coming off the beach did not have enough pressure to really wash yourself off very well (had to use shower by the pool) & the incline due to the dune made it hard for elderly to get over easily. Obviously we know that would take excavating to get the incline down so if you have elderly or handicapped may not be the best option to get to the beach. But we will definitely be back & loved our stay!

We loved this place. The room smelled amazing. Such a clean fresh smell. Breakfast could have had more options but we had a great stay and will definitely be back soon.

Room was clean and accommodating, directly on the beach for amazing sunrises:) Small Bathroom and the Breakfast Buffet is very Small. The room has its own little private balcony, I don’t recommend the 1st floor as you can’t see the beach, but is very close and amazing views:)

We love the pool and the hot tub. Rooms are nice and clean but small. The breakfast could be improved. Hard crunchy bacon and fake eggs....home waffles are good. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay!
