Having checked out of our Air BandB place we had to find a new place. We found this B and B about noon, and the owner led us right to a room and we were in! The room was beautiful, clean, large, and very comfortable! The house is directly across the street from a public beach access making it super convenient. The owners were incredibly friendly and fun to chat with. We were so happy to have found this place. (And no, we didn't want to leave the next day either, but we did.)

We stayed at the Loft at this B&B while we were in town for a wedding. We had a fantastic…read moreexperience. When I booked The Loft, I was unsure what to expect as I hadn't read other reviews about it, so here is my take for those potentially interested in booking: The Loft * it is basically a one-bedroom apartment -- with a bed in the living room area and a bed in the bedroom. There is a microwave, a refrigerator, and a Keurig. You have a full sized bathroom as well, and a legit living area with a couch and a couple chairs. It is perfect to split amongst 4 people; you won't feel crowded! * It is a walk upstairs. You can get to The Loft using a separate entrance from the house. You do not need to walk through the main house to get to The Loft. We liked this a lot, for privacy. But, you may need to make several trips to/from your car if you are carrying a lot of luggage. If you are unable to carry luggage on your own, I'd recommend having a friend help you or, if you are staying alone, I would recommend a different room at Cypress. The walking up the stairs was not an issue for me and my friends, but I think it could have been an issue for my parents. * It has a outdoor patio area with 4 chairs around a small table, and you have a distant view of the ocean. It's lovely. The B&B experience: Bill was simply fantastic throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious every morning. My husband and I are early birds so had no issue making it in time for the 8:30 breakfast. The breakfast was fresh and yummy! You are walking distance from the beach (like a 3 minute walk!). The B&B has chairs for your use, so you can grab one of those chairs and walk over to the beach. You're also walking distance from a few restaurants and to Duck Donuts if that's your thing. We tried Duck Donuts for the first time on a morning walk; it was ok -- to each their own! Tips: If you are driving to Duck for a wedding, please leave the Cypress 2 hours before your event start! We had no clue how bad traffic could get. What should have been a 20 minute ride took slightly over 2 hours. Apparently, it's just like that on the weekends (especially Saturdays), so you've been warned! All in all, we had a fantastic experience here and will be excited to return.

We easily visited Corolla, Duck and Kitty Hawk while also enjoying Manteo. We would love to stay here again in the future! The Inn itself is very clean and has a lot of interesting history that Lee (the manager) will happily share with you. The rooms are well kept and super clean with plenty of amenities available. The continental breakfast is thoughtfully provided with fresh fruit salad and an array of cereal, bread and other options. They also have plenty of coffee and a tea station that I particularly loved with an array of options and even teapots on hand. The grounds are beautiful with plenty of blooming flowers and green space to enjoy yourself and hang out. We particularly liked the very friendly koi in the koi pond which came over to say hi when we approached.

The unit is not represented well in the photos. The queen size bed is shoved up against a wall on one side so you can only enter from one side or the end of the bed. There are no side tables to charge phones or set glasses, etc. There's no room for them because the bedroom is that small. I use a CPAP and was unable to use it the whole time we were there as there was nowhere to put it and you can't put them on the floor. You had to turn sideways to squeeze between a corner and the refrigerator to get into the very tiny bathroom. The shower was extremely small, you can't even raise your arms much to wash your hair as there is not enough room in the shower. There is lots of deferred maintenance at this property, rotting wood, trex type boards with no support beneath so they sagged when you stepped on them (walkways and pool deck), formica countertop in room was unfinished on one end, shotty carpentry work throughout the Sea Level unit and lots of bugs (little ones that I have no idea what they were). The homes all around this one were very well maintained but this one stands out as being neglected. Breakfast was packets of instant oatmeal or grits, bagels and apples and bananas, a far cry from what most bnb's offer. At the very least most bnb's offer at least some type of baked item. We will not stay here again. We were celebrating our anniversary and this room was not at all what we had envisioned from the photos. We loved the Outer Banks and will probably visit again but choose a much better place to stay.

It was obvious the minute we entered our room (Deck Side Room) the cleaning was at best minimal. From carpet stains; bugs; mold in the bathroom; molded and dusty vents it instantly made us feel grungy! The room temperature was obnoxiously hot (even on a November night); and the wobbly and filthy ceiling fan barely did a thing. My girlfriend cleaned out dead bugs from the tub and to her surprise brown water came out of the faucet (after running for awhile it was clear water). Breakfast was set for a 6-year old chid - pop tarts, instant oatmeal & grits, 4 powdered doughnuts and single-serve cereal boxes. We used the Keurig to make our own coffee and discovered how gross and unkept the kitchen was. The powdered creamer was a solid brick with dead bugs in it; and the sugar was hard as a rock with rust on the lid! We did not expect to have to go to an amazing breakfast at WaveRider after spending over $200 at this "Bed & Breakfast" We do NOT recommend staying here unless you don't mind uncleanlinesses and just need a bed for the night. The only perk to this location is its proximity to beach.

Filthy, Unsafe, and Insulting Response - Do NOT Stay Here!…read more I have stayed in many places over the years, and this was by far the most disgusting and poorly managed property I've ever experienced. This place should not be advertised at the rate I paid -- it felt like a $50-a-night roadside dump, not a $200+ vacation rental. Here's what I encountered: * Black mold in the bathroom and even on the doors, a clear health hazard. * Thick layers of dust coating the ceiling fans, window ledges, and even the walls -- clearly no one has cleaned this property in ages. * Lamps literally falling apart. * The entire room smelled musty and damp, making it feel unclean and unsafe. * Trash scattered throughout the backyard, including a dirty diaper just left behind. * To make matters worse, there was an animal scratching inside the walls at night, making it impossible to sleep. When I reported these issues to KEES Vacations management, they only offered a pathetic $30 "goodwill" refund, which is beyond insulting given the condition of this property and the amount I paid. It's clear they have zero concern for guest safety, cleanliness, or satisfaction. This property is completely unkempt and neglected. I will never stay at a KEES property again, and I strongly urge others to stay far away. There are plenty of clean, well-managed places to stay -- don't risk your vacation, your health, or your sanity here. Bottom line: * This place is a health hazard. * KEES management is dismissive. * Absolutely not worth the money. Do yourself a favor: DO NOT STAY HERE.

Said it was to have daily housekeeping which it did not. Our shower curtain did not come all the way to the floor so the water went out of the shower leaving huge puddles of water in the bathroom. When I called for new towels since we didnt have daily housekeeping I was told that they did not do that but when I explained the bathroom issue they said the would see what they could do. We did get a new set of towels. Only good thing. We were to check out on Sunday by 10. At 9am we were taking stuff to our vehicle and went back to room to get the rest and were locked out of our room. When I called I was told that they would put in an emergency order. Thank God in about 20 mins I saw a lady and asked if she worked there and she said yes and she let us in. She said that the codes change around 9. Why when check out is not till 10? I STILL HAVE NOT received a call from someone to let us in and it is two days later. I would not recommend this Inn to anyone.

We were booked into the inn by a client who wanted to make our first visit to Suffolk a memorable one. The home is a true Southern belle - a grand dame of historic mansions. It has been so lovingly restored and is perfectly appointed. We had so much fun exploring every inch of the home and absorbing its character. The proprietor (and very talented chef) Ruth has mastered the art of hospitality, inviting us to truly make the home our own. She didn't mind one bit that we planted ourselves in the reclining leather chairs in the stately octagonal library with another couple and yakked enthusiastically until the wee hours. After a blissful night sleep, breakfast the following morning was a marvelous affair. We prepped a coffee for ourselves at the Nespresso machine (fantastic!) and meandered around the grounds until the heavenly smell of baking croissants lured us to the elegant, light-filled breakfast room. Usually an eat-and-run proposition for us, we lingered for over an hour enjoying the delectable food and the conversation with the other guests. The charm of the house and its gracious owner had worked its magic - we were refreshed, satiated and inspired. We departed with great reluctance but the spirit of the Truitt house hung about us for the rest of the day and onto the next as we traveled home. You do not want to miss this unique and unforgettable travel experience - 5 gold stars!!!

The mansion, built long ago, has been restored and updated in every category. I've stayed at lots of B&Bs to find them "charming but in need of modern updates."

Because I'm here for work, I'm purposely spending all my time at the house when not on location and I love to be able to move from study to library to the atrium and other rooms in order to read and for a change of atmosphere. Every room is unique and has a story. You'll love Ruth who will make your stay feel like you've come home to the family estate. Breakfast is made to order and she loves knowing what you like. Casual and comfy. Two words to describe the experience in this amazing, palatial mansion.
