    Got a two room suite for several days. Bad: Told by staff that only regular, lesser priced rooms get daily service of fresh towels, soaps, etc. Odd, especially for $175/night. Also, furniture smelled bad, like really bad. Like vinegar and sweat. I sanitized everything as soon as I got home even before I took my shoes off. Sliding door scrern in room with sliding door didn't lock so could not enjoy the ocean breeze while sleeping. Dishwasher almost fell out of wall, be careful! Mold on bath vents (see pic) and faucet in bath cracked/corroded (see pic). Parking bays are not uniform and not conducive to large vehicles. WiFi spotty. Good:. Lots of room in suite. Nice views. Noticed this place is for sale, might be a good idea.

    Everything about my stay at this motel was perfect. The rooms are picturesque and cozy, as if you are staying at your own beach house. The pastel and beach-themed decor are beautiful. The rooms are also incredibly clean and organized. The beds are big and comfortable. The bathroom and shower are spacious. They also offer free wifi in the rooms. And the view- Oh. My. Goodness. Breathtaking!! Make sure to book a room on the ocean. The hotel rooms are right on the beach- literally. They are right on the beach. You step outside of your room and you are on sand, about 100 feet away from the ocean. We spent so much time sitting on the balcony to watch the waves and also walking along the gorgeous beach. It was never once crowded or full of tourists. That was one of my favorite things about this location. It was quiet and peaceful. You would think that the beautiful beach would draw large groups of "spring breakers," but we thankfully only ran into locals and families. Last, but certainly not least, the hospitality is wonderful. We spent a lot of time talking to Jan at the front desk. She had the most positive demeanor at all times. By the end of our short stay, it was as if we had known her for years. She made such great recommendations for restaurants and sights. She is extremely familiar with OBX because she used to stay at Cape Hatteras with her family every summer. After we left the motel, we accidentally left behind a few things in the room. Jan called us immediately and offered to mail them to us free of charge. She is so sweet. When I return to Cape Hatteras, I absolutely refuse to stay anywhere else. Five stars, no question!

    Complimentary wine for our anniversary

    My husband and I were planning an extended quiet weekend away for our Anniversary, found this motel on Booking.com and was lured in by the Oceanfront rooms. We got a great price to begin with, and had received a voucher for $90 off our stay from Booking.com if we spent over X amount of dollars. We wanted to book our stay at another local accommodation originally, but that particular place was fully booked, and this was our second choice. Upon arriving, we were greeted by a pleasant front desk attendant who seemed genuinely friendly and accommodating. We told her it was our Anniversary and she offered us a complimentary bottle of wine. We were staying across the street from the office in an oceanfront room on the second story. Our room was 212. It was an end unit and had a picturesque view of the beautiful Atlantic ocean. Although it was raining off and on upon arrival, it was still a warm April afternoon and it took away nothing from the views. We were immediately impressed with the clean smell radiating from the room when we opened the door. I love the smell of 'clean' and I know the difference in a Glad plug in that is trying to masque the odors and a true fresh clean smell. We had a king size bed that had obviously fresh, white linens on it and a small bath off from our room. The room was basic, but very clean and it was just what we were looking for. The room had laminate hard wood floors, but the shower area and sink were outdated and could have used an upgrade. The blind facing the street was broken in one area. But there was nothing too big that would turn us off from staying again. The bed wasn't very comfortable and my husband did wake with backaches all 3 mornings we were there. There are 2 cute white rockers on the deck that face the beach if you want to relax and watch the sun rise or set. The first morning we awoke there, we got up before sunrise and sat on the deck watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee and it was the best day ever! If you are wanting frills, this place is not for you. But if you are satisfied with just a clean room and a place to lay your head, this will suffice. I love that it isn't a huge tourist spot in the spring and the entire area of Buxton just had a nice, laid back relaxing feel to it. Our vacation was nothing short of perfect. We would most certainly stay again!

    Two nights right on the water - can't beat the view! It's a no frills motel (especially with COVID), but the location is supreme. Room was clean and roomy. Everyone we talked with was friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back.

    If you want an ocean view during your stay in Cape Hatteras, you won't get any closer than the ocean view rooms at Cape Hatteras Motel! The ocean is literally RIGHT outside your door! There are rocking chairs on the balcony by each room so you can sit and watch the waves, and you can walk right onto the beach from the stairs by the rooms. You can see the top of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse from spots on the top floor of stairs too, and are close enough to see the lights from the lighthouse flashing across the ocean at night. Our room (308) was an efficiency room, with THE most comfortable king-sized bed, living area, and full kitchen. Homey touches throughout - like the welcome mat at the door - made it feel more like a little beach cottage, and it's more than roomy enough for two people. Be forewarned: you will have to climb stairs to get to your room, so if you're unable to handle stairs, be sure to request a ground floor room! I've noticed other reviews that complain about cleanliness, and we did not find that to be an issue at all. Granted, some of the appliances and furniture show a little wear, but everything was clean, and we appreciated the overall charm. Office staff is super nice and very knowledgable - don't hesitate to ask for information or recommendations! There's a great little lending library in the office as well with a great supply of books. We can't wait to visit OBX again, and will absolutely be staying at Cape Hatteras Mote again. The only thing we'll do differently next time is bring the kids along and upgrade to a suite! Thanks for a great stay, CHM!!

    We were very disappointed with the unit we stayed in. The furniture was old, it wasn't clean, and huge piles of sand were all over the property. This place has seen its better days.

We had to stop mid ride for him to fix the chain which left his hands greasy for the remainder of our ride to the lighthouse. My main disappointment was location. While it is walking distance to the beach, it's not ON the beach. The town of Buxton was fairly run down. Next time I'd opt to stay in Hatteras, which we actually mistakenly thought we were when we booked.

Everything from the process of selecting a cabana and checking on availability to arriving, staying, and checking out was smooth, simple as pie, and budget-friendly. We had our vacation dates picked out first and checked the website to see what would be available during the September 17-24 (Saturday to Saturday) week. There were plenty of options when we booked in July, but by September there were no vacancies listed on the website (though there was a sign at the cabanas themselves that said "Vacancy," so something might have opened up). The first half of the fee was due immediately, and the second half was due a month before arrival. The rates vary widely depending on the season. Ours came to about $570 for a week's stay after tax, fees, and trip insurance were all figured in, but "off season" begins in early September, thanks to potential hurricane threats. Prime season is listed in the brochure as $820.37 per week and may be more after fees. The cabanas are a mix of uniform and highly individualized. They're single-room affairs (plus a bathroom with a door, of course) on stilts -- you park underneath. They have no fewer than three decks: both front and back decks on the living floor and a third one at roof level. They all have air conditioning, a TV, and kitchen areas including a fridge and oven. They're all built of the gray, salt-blown wood that is popular all over the island. The best way to visualize the size is to think of a medium-sized dorm room with a kitchen. Beyond these details, they all have their separate personalities. The one we stayed in, Ocean's Door East (#27), had a rare two-bed setup, one of them loft-style. Most others appear to have one bed, some of them full-size and some of them queen. It was decorated with a beautiful array of beach-inspired wall knickknacks, many of which said "Welcome" on them -- and welcome we felt! The kitchen had lots of dishes and pots (but not all of the cabanas necessarily will, so come prepared!), and we were pleased to find beach chairs we could borrow. There were also a lot of children's beach toys, but again, that will vary from cabana to cabana, so don't count on it. This one allows pets, both dogs and cats, but not all of them do. We chose our cabana based on its proximity to the beach -- it was the closest one available when we booked. There is a wooden walkway that takes you over the dune, and there you are! There was always a smattering -- but not a crowd -- of people lounging, reading, fishing, beachcombing, or throwing balls for their dog. The waves were medium-height while we were there, but of course that can be variable. A convenient hose is located at the cabana end of the walkway for cleaning off sandy feet. About halfway through the week, we realized there was a hose under our cabana, too. Additional tips: Be aware that weather in this area is volatile. We had the pleasure of partly cloudy 88-degree days and rainy nights during our week, but it could just as easily storm, or a hurricane might blow through. Hatteras Island gets completely evacuated at such times, so get trip insurance. Also note that you will need to bring your own sheets, towels, and paper goods. This isn't a hotel, it's someone's beach home, so there will be imperfections in the accommodations, and you're cleaning up after yourself, ESPECIALLY right before you leave. Also, bring bug spray. Even though the cabana has an owner, it's through Dolphin Realty that you'll be paying your fee and signing your lease agreement. I did this all by email with them. They responded within a business day or so of any inquiry I made. It was all so easy and reasonably priced that we'll consider coming back to Hatteras Cabanas for future trips here!

When Dare County issued a mandatory evacuation due to Hurricane Erin, I was forced to leave my rental halfway through my stay.

They hid behind a "forced field" checkbox about insurance buried in the booking process -- yet I never signed a lease, and their system still allowed me to book, pay in full, and check in. What makes this worse is the constant stream of promotional emails I received from Midgett about discounts on kayaks and beach gear, while they did little to clearly warn or emphasize protecting my stay through travel insurance. Clearly, sales come first -- customer protection comes last. After decades of loyalty to the Outer Banks, I will never book through Midgett Realty again. I've already filed a complaint with the North Carolina Department of Justice, and I will be sharing my experience with friends, family, and locals in the community so others can see how renters are treated when disaster strikes. If you're considering booking through Midgett Realty, be warned: when you need them most, they will not stand by you.
