This property has lots of chill things to do. I enjoyed the private balcony and also beyond the balcony was tables and chairs you could sit on and enjoy the view or play cornhole. I really enjoyed the deck, it lit up so beautiful at night, a very enjoyable place to sit and listen to the waves at night and a even greater view of the beach in the daytime. The breakfast is nice as well.

I didn't like that my stay was so short.

The complimentary breakfast was perfect. The room was nice, cool and comfortable. The location is wonderful. Right in the sand. Staff is courteous and friendly. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

The people in the room above of us sounded like a herd of elephants wearing wooden clogs that were moving boxes full of hammers and marbles. But, we know that can't be helped. This trip was a getaway for our 16th anniversary. Each time we've stayed here, there has been a sweet message on the sign for us. I had sent a message through Facebook Messenger at the beginning of the month requesting something again this year. But, the sign never had a mention of our anniversary. Oh, well. Maybe next year.

I had an amazing experience staying at John Yancey. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming and attentive, going out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The room was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, with all the amenities I needed. I especially appreciated the beautiful view and how quiet it was at night. The location was ideal—close to local attractions, restaurants, and public transport. Breakfast was delicious, with plenty of fresh options each morning. The hotel also had great facilities like a fitness center and a relaxing lounge area. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and I will definitely be returning. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the the area!

What a gorgeous hotel! From the moment we stepped into the lobby to check in - it smelt divine! Lovely friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is 2 building separated by the car park, you get a display card for the windscreen. Our room was bright light and airy with it's own patio door and balcony. Again the room smelt gorgeous! Super clean and all the amenities you expect. Super quiet and the beach was literally steps away. Breakfast was great. Lots of selection and a lovely cafe feel. The hotel is 20 mins from The Lost Colony and 5 mins from The Wright Brothers Memorial - perfect location.

Only downside was TV was subscription services only so if you don't have Netflix Apple or Amazon Prime you won't be able to watch TV, but that isn't really a problem here - go outside and enjoy the Outerbanks and the amazing places to visit nearby!

We could walk right onto the beach from our room. For an older hotel, the upkeep was impressive. Very clean and comfortable! Breakfast was included and was comparable to other well known popular and pricier hotel chains. A staff member even carried my suitcase to my room. What a lovely welcoming gesture! There is a great bar and grill right across the street. No need to get in the car. Kudos to the owners, managers, and other staff of this property. They are doing everything right.

The room had a strong antiseptic smell when we first walked in but we could air it out. I do appreciate the attention to cleanliness, though.

Everything was great. Breakfast and the coffee were more than just a continental meal. Room was clean, bed comfortable. Bathroom immaculate. Service was good for our needs. We got free passes to the Outer Banks Y because the pool was not open. Location and beach area wonderful! There was a sitting area with a day bed right near the balcony so you could rest and see the ocean in addition to the balcony chairs.

A brief warning for disabled people: There are steps and stairs everywhere in the Sea Building. The owners have tried admirably to make accessibility possible. We would not have been able to stay if we couldn't walk in some parts of the building. The halls were too small and the many turns in them and the outside ramp were impossible for the mobility scooter to navigate. Obtained help from a strong employee, Peter, to unload and load our stuff which included a larger O2 concentrator.

All of the remodeling looks FANTASTIC! We last visited in 2021 and the progress made to the hotel and grounds since then is phenomenal. The new gazebo and deck with the blue chair so beautiful. The friendliness dog hotel I’ve ever been in :) Also the coffee was great in the mornings at breakfast — tasty, strong, and always hot. Pool is nice , rooms and facilities are clean , staff is friendly , and views are beautiful

No Elevator for the easy beach access building and main building (not sure about 4 Season). My parents and dogs are seniors. Until we discovered that the handicap ramp could take us all the way to our room, we stopped using the 16 flight staircase. It was hard on my parents going up and down then anytime we wanted to take our dogs out or go down for ice and breakfast. But after discovering the ramp lead all the way to our room we started using it the rest of our stay. Not every room is able to have a balcony to help dry your towels and suits Maybe add a few more breakfast options like eggs, a breakfast meat ,or hash browns.

Location was great, the beach was right there. You could always get a spot with your family. The staff were kind and exceeded expectations. I requested, not sure if it was in my booking, but requested a patio and a tub, and got both and was able to check in earlier then expected. That is the sign of a good hotel when you can check in early. The women were always cleaning, which I love. There are restaurants across the street, there is a brewery not too far in walking distance. many other beaches with20-30 min drive.

I did not like that halfway thru our stay the got rid of the handles saying maid or do not disturb. They decided you could have the do not disturb sign or no sign for cleaning. People should be able to put maid if that eases their mind. The only complaint were their pillows, but we never did ask for different ones, so that is on us.

Located right on the beach. There is a walkway, you can use a ramp or steps to get to an outdoor covered seating area that has tables with high top chairs and a Adirondack chairs to enjoy the ocean view. The room is clean and comfortable. Even the non ocean front rooms have a view of the ocean from a distance.

I have mobility issues and have a hard time with steps. The non-pet building has steps when you enter. If you use the handicapped entrance that goes to the side of the building, there are 3 steps and then you have to walk to the front of the building to use the elevator. It was manageable for me but may not be for others.

Wonderful location, close to beach and anything else you could need. Very clean and well maintained. Staff was friendly and accommodating. I read some negative reviews but honestly I don’t know why this hotel would warrant them. I couldn’t imagine being here on the outer banks and being so put out by such trivial matters as in these reviews. Here is the deal. If you want an ocean front view then read the room description and book one. They are more expensive and rightly so. Otherwise, you will not have an ocean view because you booked the cheapest option. I requested ground floor and was accommodated. They had housekeeping daily. The room was clean when we got there. The air conditioner worked wonderfully. I think someone mentioned it was loud. I didn’t notice that. Even if I did I wouldn’t mention it. The dang thing kept the room cold like I like it. I don’t care how it sounds. The pool was lovely and not crowded. You could tell they took care of the grounds and maintaining the pool area. Now to the FREE continental breakfast. It’s offered from 7-10. They had PLENTY of options to choose from including waffles, breakfast sandwiches, cereal, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, fruit, breads for toast, pastries, coffee, juices and I’m sure other things I am forgetting. It was well stocked and those lovely ladies running it made sure to keep it that way. You could tell they were working hard to keep the guest happy. I saw complaints about this free confidential breakfast and seriously all I could do was shake my head. Lastly they have added (new since our last visit) a beautiful large gazebo style beach entrance. It’s gorgeous and has ample room and seating. The staff was very friendly. This was another negative in some reviews that I cannot wrap my head around. This was not our experience at all. The staff was nice and helpful.
