After lunch and securing a golf cart for the weekend, we check into our room. Our first impression was not good, the porch was covered with junk, broken beach chairs, dirty plastic containers, ash trays with cigarette butts, etc. As we entered the front common area, it was also cluttered with junk and smelled of strong cigarette smoke. However, we were exhausted having travelled overnight, so we had a quick lunch, rented a golf cart nearby and decided to check in and take an afternoon nap. Unfortunately as we were resting, Pam taps on the door and walks on into the room to tell us that we have to leave because someone else had booked the room. She couldn't explain why and barely apologized. Other notes for this review: Pam's Pelican is completely dilapidated--in disrepair and dirty, overgrown with weeds/bushes, cobwebs on exterior shake walls, very narrow hazardous spiral stairs, raggedy gazebo with old rusted furniture (with more cigarette butts). I could go on and on but no words can describe just how trashy this place is, wish I had time to make pictures, but we were sent away with nowhere to go after just few hours.

They have laundry service, which was fantastic as we were able to do a load of laundry after being in the ocean for several days. We rented a golf cart, though I wish we would have asked the price before agreeing to rent it. We probably only used it an hour and paid 70.00 so that wasn't worth it for us, but that was clearly our fault for not having a better idea if we would really use it. You can't take the golf carts to the beach, so I suggest to make sure you really will use it before renting them. Breakfast and coffee came with the reservation. Overall great place to stay if you're traveling to Ocracoke Island.

The rooms are great, and we actually like the fact that there are no small children staying there (sorry folks) and that you don't run into the staff often. The guests are always friendly and breakfast is great. However, one huge complaint....their parking structure. The last time we stayed in the inn, there were golf carts parked in the car lot...enough of them to limit parking if not completely wiping out all parking spaces. Per the rules, this is not allowed and golf carts need to be parked in the designated golf cart area, but it was not enforced and I got anxiety every time I took my car out thinking we might not get a space when we get back (yes, we had a golf cart too, but car went driving on the beach). I'm on vacation...I don't need any more anxiety! Another complaint...people were hoarding the bikes instead of putting them back on the rack when they were done. I ended up just stealing one from someone's door lol. I don't think this is relevant anymore because I think they got rid of the bikes...but still was an annoyance.

Great stay except for just a couple things…read more If a broom is provided (which there are two) they need to leave a dust pan at least. A small vacuum would be best. Kitchen scissors are a must. They have most everything else. We would stay again but remember to bring sand rugs to put next to the bed and in the bathroom. We did find an outdoor shower next to the pool to clean off before going inside. We didn't want to put that much sand down the plumbing system. The Air conditioner is LOUD, bed is hard and noisy. That's the bad of it. The room stays cool and dark if you want it. Not in direct sun. Nice little porch off A and both have separate entrances. My husband and I stayed in B with my parents in A. The kitchen was nicely appointed. Linens were clean but sparse. Glad we brought our own bath towels. We had to use the extra blankets that we found in the chest of drawers. It would have been nice if there was a summary or info sheet in the room of where to find things like the blankets, extra linens, sauna and how to park the carts and plug in. No info. Had to figure it out. My dad needed a low floor and this was perfect. Just three steps from either door. The A side had a walk in shower stall while B had a huge jetted tub. We did not use the tube but were stupefied that they didn't provide a bath mat for getting in and out. That tub is dangerous to step out of when wet. We'd stay here again but will look for somewhere with a view next time. This is more of a hideaway than a hangout spot

The breakfast and sitting area upstairs were inviting & bright. Mimosas for a small fee. We did see a few roaches wandering around but I suspect that's part of living in a warm & wet environment. Bikes available to borrow but beware they're not all in working order. My boyfriend's bike wouldn't allow him to use the brakes without the chain falling off. 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.

Prices are totally reasonable and include a DELICIOUS homemade breakfast (one of the best quiches I can remember in recent memory!). The rooms are well furnished and contain many personal touches. They feel rather like staying in a friend's guest room, or maybe a friend's grown daughter's former bedroom. I found the room we stayed in charming; but this may be a pro or a con to you depending on your tastes. All rooms have ensuite baths. One room has a Jacuzzi, but we didn't stay in that one. The town itself is rather small, and you'll need to go outside it to find any lasting entertainment. But nonetheless, this is the place to stay if you find yourself in Belhaven.

I found this gem on Yelp! Thank you Yelp!…read more It's a beautiful bed and breakfast, and the owners have exquisite taste in furnishings and decor. We stayed in the Beaufort Suite, and I slept like a baby in that huge comfortable bed with such soft linens. I love that we could control our room temp because we like it cold at night, and the unit cooled down quickly and quietly. The bathtub! Oh my! I want one of those so badly! We were there only one night, and I took two baths. The entire bathroom is stunningly gorgeous, well lit, and so spacious. You had hot water within seconds of turning the shower on, and it didn't cool down even a little bit. The Inn is located at a perfect spot, as it's a quick walk to everything you'd want to do in Belhaven. There are condos directly across the street which block the water view, but a vacant lot next to those allow for a beautiful view. The breeze coming off the water is wonderful. Happy hour was a nice treat, and enjoyable. Gail and Alan are great hosts, easy to chat with, and also interesting to converse with. They really do make you feel right at home, and act as if they've known you forever. (Don't worry though, they also leave you alone if that's what you prefer.) They have a great outdoor area to just sit, or swing, and enjoy the peacefulness of this quaint town. We loved our stay there.

Booking was easy with friendly service. Arrival was contactless and we never met or saw anyone during our stay of three days. The cottage was on a second level with a flight of steps which as a surprise because I had not noticed that from pictures. It was fine for us but might be difficult if traveling with someone with mobility issues. Inside, everything was so cute and clean and they had anticipated our every need. The kitchen had coffee, snacks and cereal and the fridge was pack with delicious breakfast items and treats like fresh backed goods. The yogurt appeared to be homemade and was delicious! The bed as comfortable and the rain shower was delightful. They even supplied the bags for our dogs potty trips. The main inn was unoccupied during COVID so we had the beautiful back yard garden all to ourselves. The view of the water was blocked since the cottage is behind the main house but the town docks were very close by, just a very short walk. Because of COVID, a lot of the restaurants in town were closed in the middle of the week but there was enough available for our needs. We visited in September 2020 and it was just what we needed, a quiet get away after working 7 days a week since March. We loved it and highly recommend it as a nice, quiet place to get away and have your every need thoughtfully met.
