Stayed on 3rd floor level, soundview room was outstanding. Nicely upgraded and very clean. The detached restaurant at the inn is also the best in Hatteras village. Classy feel with nice bar as well. It is elevated with great views. Very close to all the marinas for charter fishing. This is the place to stay and very reasonably priced.

Decent, fairly modern room. The ones in the main building all have balconies that look over the harbor - really nice - great sunset views. It was off season and we arrived after the office closed, so they left us keys and a long sheet of rules (which weren't disclosed prior to our visit...) I really hate it when properties... More

We just returned from our first trip to Hatteras Village and we were fortunate enough to stay at The Breakwater Inn. From the very beginning, the staff over the phone to call for information and when we called to book our room were well informed, helpful and friendly. Check in was very fast and easy. We stayed in the main... More

We stayed here 2 years ago, because they allow dogs in the "Fisherman's Quarters" section of the motel, which is a separate building. It did the trick then, and we just stayed there last night again, and it was another pleasant experience. Even better actually, because I think they painted the walls, and upgraded the furniture. (at least in the... More

I have been to the Breakwater Inn several times and never had a bad experience. The staff is very friendly, rooms are very clean with beds that are so comfortable that i slept better than i do at home in my own bed. The best part of the rooms would be the deck over looking the marina, whether its checking... More

This is the second time we have stayed at the Breakwater. It is convenient to the beach, charter boats and restaurants. The staff is very friendly. The rooms each have their own deck with great sunset views. The charter boats are steps away. We will be back next summer!

We booked our room through Expedia for 6 people. When we got there they gave us a tiny room for 4, then basically told me there was no way I booked the room through Expedia for 6 people, Expedia would not have let me do that! (so basically I was told I was a liar) After I showed them my... More

This guest booked through Expedia. Our account with Expedia is set up so that customers are not able to book a room with more than four guests total, whether you book adults and children. This limitation was set because our rooms are only meant for four guests. They are not tiny by any means and the private decks also offer... More

My husband, son and myself booked a room here on a last minute whim during the peak tourist season in the Outerbanks. The staff was friendly and the room was perfect for our overnight stay. We had drinks and appetizers that we had brought, on the balcony overlooking the marina and watched the boat "Miss Hatteras" launch for its sunset... More
