Instructions: 1. Step on boat 2. Relax and enjoy life on the water 3.Forget about land problems! I got to experience lifestyle I don't normally live. Gorgeous 26 ' sail boat and trip that provides amazing views of the outer banks shoreline and sunset. Truly magical experience, and I use the word magical sparingly... This trip is something i'll remember forevs, Great time with family and friends. Amazing photo opps, I was even guilty of taking selfies. Champagne in stemless glasses. Non alcoholic beverages available also. Crackers, cheese and fruit for your snacking pleasure. If that's not enough, you can bring your own. Captain Jay is knowledgeable and endearing. Doesn't let you worry about a thing while you are on his ship. If you are nice, he'll even let you drive! I would go again, if he wasn't booked already..... Sunset cruise duration ~= 2 hours Capacity: 6 http://www.avonharborsailing.com/

If you're looking for a 4 star hotel do not stay here, if you're looking for a comfy family type setting this is your place. We had a pet room and it was okay. Older and needs an update for sure. The grounds are clean and the pool is immaculate. Everyone is really nice even all the motel cats. I'd definitely come back with the whole family. Beach is a quick walk down the street and there is some great coffee at the little shop right around the corner. We're vegan and found a fully vegan donut/coffee truck that was amazing. Swell is awesome.

The business is just getting started, still under construction, but the…read morerooms that they have available are clean, the rates reasonable, and the staff was very accommodating (hence my four stars). Rooms were just furnished, with what I'll describe as clean but classic older style furnishings. Our room included a little fridge. Walking distance to great restaurants and some stores for light essentials. Across the street from the ocean, I'll call it a five or ten minute walk? Very close drive to the lighthouse and fishing spots at "the point" . Best of all was chilling on the porch, meeting my neighbors, on a beautiful obx evening. I'll go back, based on my experience.

I am not sure where to begin to tell readers how bad this experience was. I strongly recommend against booking a room here. 1. My room reeks of pesticides. When I asked about this at the front desk, one person said "it hasn't been sprayed recently." Just then someone else walked in and asked me what room, and I told him. He said that it had. 2. The shower water pressure is very low at temperatures in which you might wish to shower. Cold water. No problem. Tepid water. Well maybe. Hot water. Forget about it. 3. The room's tables have some sort of blisters on the suggesting excess chemical use. 4. I have never ever in all my years of travel to many different countries and at hotels of vastly different degrees of fanciness encountered a more hostile reception desk. I asked them why internet service was so bad. They growled... dude we are on an island. I told them I had just been to an island halfway between Iceland and Scotland (the Faroes) in the middle of the Atlantic with internet somewhere 10-100x better than here, they responded so hostilely I am making sure my door is locked tonight. That bad. That said, the space is lovely. Lots of room. If you are willing to put up with all the other stuff, especially the overt hostility of the front desk, this place is for you. But I am NEVER coming back.

She was able to get beautiful pictures of my family of six... and believe me we are not a very photogenic family. she had a most patience and did not rush us along. she took the time to be sure that we had all of the shots and poses that we wanted to try and some we didn't even know we wanted. I was shocked at how quickly she was able to get the photos to us. Her wonderful personality made the whole experience for my four boys enjoyable.! I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely seek her out the next time we are in the area!

Mom has very limited mobility at this point and we were also traveling with 3 small children and one expectant mother to be photographed. In total there were 9 of us. She helped find a location that was the essence of my mother and scheduled with flexibility based on our needs and mom's condition. She was never rushed and captured beautiful candid photos along with the professionally posed pictures. She sent one special photo to me the same day and many the following day. I have never received photos so quickly like this. She captured memories that we will all cherish long after mom passes and I cannot thank her enough for the blessing of capturing this trip. Dana is absolutely amazing.

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 GOOD: I am giving a 1 star review for the amazing view from our balcony, that is it!…read more THE BAD: The room smelled like bleach, like pool bleach, IN JANUARY?? Like if someone mixed the wrong chemicals when cleaning. The microwave was broken. It being January not much is open, so we were going to heat up dinner & breakfast in our room. We called the number provided but no one ever called us back. We would have changed rooms last night!! I woke up with a migraine!! I ran the bathroom fan on trying to get rid of that smell to no avail. UGH! This may have been a 1 off room, I didn't see anyone else complaining of their room issues outside. We won't be back. What would I do differently? I did everything I was supposed to do. 1) I told the front desk there was a "chlorine like pool smell in our room." I smelled it the minute we walked in. They said "It's coming in from outside and blowing down the pipe, it should clear up." IT DID NOT *** 2) The microwave was broken, I called the number on the paperwork they gave us. It went to VM. I left a message, no one ever called me back! 3) I woke up 2 hours after going to bed with a migraine and I was having trouble breathing. I went out on the balcony for fresh air. It was so cold out but at least I could breathe. My head was pounding!! I went down to my car in the parking lot and sat there for a while. I finally went back upstairs & got my husband, who wasn't bothered at all by whatever this was. I told the lady at the desk about what is going on, it wasn't the same lady so she had no idea what was going on. I went back to my room & changed & left. As we were getting ready to leave I noticed that the cleaning lady was using Clorox. I told her the room smells very strongly of bleach. She said "some people don't like the bleach because it smells strong so I mix it with Fabuloso." I quickly realized what the smell was & looked up what mixing Clorox & Fabuloso would do. It creates a gas! I went down stairs and told the front desk about it. She said she'd give us a discount. Thanks for torturing me, can you pay me now? WE WON'T BE BACK!!! BTW, my husband has been a P-1 Master plumber for 35 years and NEVER heard of BLEACH smell down 'a pipe' before. These folks are crazy!

It's safe to say I won't ever stay here again. The price was decent. The check-in process was…read morepainless. It's easy to find. That's about the nicest things I could say about staying here aside from the sunset view which was pretty good. The bad....the wifi didn't work at all. They give you a sheet with instructions on how to login to the wifi, choose "north or south access point based on room number and floor number..." I included a screenshot, they only have "Anchorage Inn Guest" as an option. If you click it, it asks for a password. The sheet says to enter your username as the room number and then the password anchorage all lower case...well, the sign in screen doesn't ask for a username and says that password is wrong. The TV doesn't have cable but depends on wifi...guess what...it wasn't connected to the "TV Network" either. And it couldn't be connected to the guest network because nothing can connect to it. This was a bit of a problem for me as I fall asleep to TV every night and I couldn't use this TV at all. I called the office. No answer, a voicemail directed me to call a night time number. I called it. The guy there was pretty useless...he had no idea how to connect to the wifi or the password or anything and just told me to talk to the lady at the front desk in the morning. There are no grounded outlets in the room either so if you have anything that needs to plug-in to a three pronged outlet you're out of luck. No USB ports, no room phones...super basic. It did have a fridge. The AC would cool the room to 68 during these mild temps but I'm not so sure it would work in high temps, especially with the fact that you could see light all the way around the door reveal...absolutely no insulation (photo included). This allowed a ton of noise to intrude into the room all night so we didn't get the best sleep. It seems that pre-covid they used to offer some type of continental breakfast. I tried looking on their page and couldn't find out if they still offered it or not, they don't. I get that a lot of places cut costs here, but at least offer coffee, water, and some healthy food options such as apples or bananas. There's only 3 places that open by 7am for breakfast if you have an early ferry ride to catch. The parking lot was all gravel and sand too. Elevator is super slow especially if it's crowded. There are plenty of nearby restaurants within walking distance for dinner. There is a British Cemetery nearby where the land is perpetually leased to England so their soldiers who died fighting for the US can be buried in England. Some nice shops and and ice cream shop down the way as well.

Wonderful spot to get away! We are right on the beach, plenty of sand. Far away from the abrasive…read morecivilization we live in but close enough to local stores and restaurants to get away. For $250 a night, it's definitely worth it to come here. Our room was no frills, with two queen beds and a bathroom with nice bath tub. The nice part is having a small, enclosed porch that we could hang out on. Unfortunately, you have to walk up and down the stairs because there's no elevator. It's ok unless you have mobility issues. Then it's kind of a problem. Downstairs is a nice, large pool. I think there's supposed to be a hot tub but it wasn't hot or working. Too bad. But anyway, it was a break from the sand, haha.
