Located directly across from the Owens restaurant is this tiny motel with its own private beach…read moreaccess. The most affordable place to stay is here which means it books fast. Outdated but serves its purpose - sleep, shower and bathroom. Our room was considered ocean side which is true but for someone who is a stickler for the details I think it should be renamed to beach access as you can not physically see or hear the ocean. The ocean view / side rooms are located at the back of the motel and these rooms are more expensive. Room comes with towels, bar soap, mini shampoo / conditioner, toilet paper, extra trash bags, tiny coffee maker, mini fridge, window ac, base board heat, microwave, small tv, closet, dresser, nightstand and free WiFi. Ice machine and drink machine located in back motel. Oh and .... living walking disgusting cockroaches! Almost stepped on a cockroach as I went to the bathroom ! Yes it was alive ! Yes I am allergic !!! No wonder my allergies are giving me a fit. :( Note to self: Bring roach traps! Room 6 : has a leaky toilet and a constant dripping sound Not many electrical outlets in our room so I would recommend to bring a four way. Beds not the very comfortable. Wear socks on carpet. Bathroom very tiny!!(please do not take offense to this but : anyone who is possibly 'large' would not be able to fit in the toilet area) Limited parking : no room to turn around Pros: Location, amazing beach access, wifi & affordable!

6/24/20   This…read moremorning I had a chance to ride on a friend's private plane. Here at Manteo Airport, you can have private airplanes, $15 tours our do sky diving....sorry parachuting.  But John, what's the difference? In short, "the main difference between skydiving and parachuting is that in skydiving, we freefall before deploying our parachutes, and in parachuting, we deploy the parachute straight away." Carl took us on a free tour of the area.  I saw the Ocracoke Lighthouse from the air, but now I feel it was the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse because of the black strips.  If I am wrong, than it is the  Bodie Island Lighthouse. Either way, I want to visit this lighthouse, because it is one I have not visited yet. Flying inside of the plane was one of the most relaxing experiences I have had.  I enjoyed hearing the lingo of the pilot and radio tower.  It's a world with a world when you start cracking jokes with the tower. I also noticed how warm the plane got when we were sightseeing.  If we ever jump out of an airplane...and we will, I enjoy doing it with my wife. Seeing the people from 2,500 feet up is an amazing experience.   Jumping out of an airplane from that height will be a test of all tests...this far Great times for 35 minutes of flying.

The rooms were pretty comfortable, and the continental breakfast with homemade blueberry muffins were delicious. Downside, there was still renovation activity going on in the rooms nearby.

I stayed here for a wedding I had to attend in Nags Head which is just right next door. Most of he…read moredecent hotels out there want $200 per night and require a 2 night MINIMUM. This place allowed me to stay only one night, and was about $150 for one night, which is actually standard for a B&B. It was my first time ever staying in a Bed and Breakfast, and it won't be my last if all of them are like this one! I pulled up on a Saturday, and was about 30 minutes early before check-in. It was scorching outside at the time as it was in early August, and Lynn came out and asked if I was okay. I told her I was waiting for 2 pm, which was check in time, and she allowed me to come on in as the room was already, ready! Her maiden name was my last name was we hit it off immediately and joked that we might be related. She was very professional, and answered any question that I may have had regarding my stay. She showed me to my room, and even offered me warm baked chocolate chip cookies, as well as sodas and juice in he refrigerator which was open to guests. Lynn asked me did I need any help about activities to do on the Outer Banks, but I told her I would just be going to the wedding, and heading out in the morning. She made sure to leave the porch light for me as she knew I would be coming home late from the wedding! The room was very clean, it had all the towels, wash clothes, and any accessories that one would need when staying there. The TV was a bubble screen, and was really outdated, but I barely watched any television for me so that was a non-issue for me. The bed was very comfortable, and the house was very quiet as well, which allowed me to get some great sleep before the wedding, and later that night when I cam back. The next morning as I packed up, Lynn, and her husband, had cooked breakfast for me that included muffins, eggs, bacon, and grits which were delicious with the orange juice I had as well! We talked it up a bit, and they also gave me a brochure about the B&B in case I come back out that way. It was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely re-visit once I get back out to the far, far, east coast! Thanks again Lynn to you and your husband for your wonderful hospitality!

As in picture. Not the quality we got last time. Pastries were held over each day for the next day. By day 3 ? The big thing was you couldn't get coffee until the office was unlocked at 8am. We are early risers and like coffee in am. The other thing was the toilet in our bathroom , room 3 was very low and hard for older people to use. The room was not as clean as I remember in the past. Would I stay again ? I don't know. Were before I would have said definitely.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience just two years ago this month at First Colony Inn,…read morewhich prompted us to book another visit this past Saturday 3/21 through this morning, Tuesday 3/24. What an incredible disappointment it was. The comparison was stark. The entire property is in need of attention. The porch swing we enjoyed outside our room (#11) two years ago was sitting on the deck this year (picture attached). The afternoon social advertised for Saturday afternoon did not happen. The boardwalk to the road was unusable and while cordoned off for safety didn't have any repairs during our stay. The beach walkway is a joke, and dangerous. The hot, made to order breakfast we'd enjoyed in 2024 was an embarrassment. Sunday morning's breakfast consisted of two small round store-bought waffles and a flaccid, microwaved piece of something unlike bacon. We chose to skip breakfast on Monday and Tuesday mornings and pay to eat elsewhere. In general, the inn appears to be falling to ruin. The bathroom floor was sticky and clearly unclean. The mini-fridge froze our sodas. We never saw any innkeeping staff on premises other than the nice young man who brought us our breakfast on Sunday morning. The quality of the food was not his fault; clearly, the days of having a cook make special breakfasts of the day are a thing of the past. What in the world has happened? First Colony Inn deserves far better than the lack of care and attention it is currently getting and so do its guests. Kirsten S.

The location is tucked away from all the hustle and bustle of the touristy parts of Outer Banks, but it's only minutes away from everything you would want to do around Manteo and Nags Head. It felt very private. The decorations were so detailed and charming. When you stay you get your own entrance, bathroom, parlor (with table, etc), and a cute porch. There were freshly cut flowers in all the rooms, too. Lorraine is also a wonderful cook! When we were there she had lots of fresh fruit, cake, chocolate-covered strawberries, quiche, Keurig drinks, fruit drinks, and she even has a mini fridge filled with water and iced tea in the parlor. Everything was above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend it!
