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 location was perfect and the rooms were nice!

The room we booked was ocean front but only accessible by stairs. They did accommodate us with a similar room in a different location though and that one had an elevator. They have 3 different buildings, and the free breakfast was in a totally different building than where we stayed. There was no phone in our room so if we needed to contact the front office we had to call the motel from our cell phone or walk down to the office. There was no information sheet in the room with TV instructions or hotel rules and check out times or nearby places to eat etc…

Fabulous location! Walking distance to so much. LOVED being on the beach so we didn't have to wagon things from the rental houses! Easy short drives to extra sites and attractions. Breakfast was great each day with dedicated staff ensuring nothing ran out. Even though I know there was family's staying around us I never really heard sounds from other rooms. Though I was traveling with kids as well but was super surprised how quiet it was in our room. Pool is cleaned daily. Housekeeping is amazing at keeping up especially with the sand. Will definitely be back!

Parking got a bit tricky but then I realized on the last day there was overflow lot in front of building 2... so that's kinda on me.

Excellent location next to the beach. The pavilion gave a beautiful view of the ocean and was just a comfortable place to relax in the evening. VERY CLEAN!! And the shower water pressure was impressive and nice.

There was a wedding with reception in the courtyard that was literally outside our back door patio. We were unable to use the courtyard picnic area that day or direct beach access due to the wedding. It would have been appreciated if we were given notice prior to our arrival . Especially because we weren’t able to use the amenities that we paid for all day. So we weren’t happy about that at all.

Loved: Included breakfast - was perfect for our family. Loved that we had a refrigerator and microwave in the room Loved the cleanliness of the property and the room, Loved the staff - front desk, cafe personnel, maids, property workers - all were friendly and professional. Loved the location. The price was reasonable since got a last minute special. Loved the proximity to the ocean and the huge gazebo and chairs that look over the ocean.

I can't think of anything that could have been better.

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 love staying at John Yancey. We stay here every year. The check in staff was super friendly and helpful. The room is always clean and the view is awesome. Location is fantastic. Easy access to everything.

I paid for ocean view which I had until Thursday. Ended up leaving day early because a giant white tent was set up in front of our balcony so we could see nothing at all. Just hearing tent flapping in the wind. Wedding party wasn't until Saturday to the best of my understanding. Set up tent 2 days early. I was not compensated for the extra that I paid for the ocean view.

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.
