We stayed at the Blue Heron for three nights earlier this week. I booked this motel because all rooms are ocean front and the mid season price of $88 made it a true bargain. The decor is somewhat old but the beds are comfortable and the rooms are very clean. Each room has a balcony overlooking the beach (unless you... More

The Blue Heron is an unpretentious three-story motel with the best views of the ocean and the sound for the smallest prices. A week at the Blue Heron is not only inexpensive but physically and emotionally refreshing. All the rooms have picture windows facing the ocean (best views on 2nd and 3rd floors) and balconies facing the Sound and the... More

This hotel is a great deal offering ocean front view with a private balcony and kitchenette. The rooms are very clean, just outdated. The tv is small as well. The pools are great. If going when its cold there is a good size indoor pool and a fairly large indoor jacuzzi. Will definitely be staying there again. The price is... More

The Blue Heron in Nags Head is a family owned motel that is always clean but a bit dated. We have stayed there many, many times. The folks working the property are extremely nice and very friendly. Bring your own pillows as the pillows on our bed were flat.

I almost hate to share this "treasure"!! Friendly staff, convenient location, even the oven was clean in our efficiency!! And there was plenty of soap.

When we checked in we wondered about the dated aspects (the stove had push button heat controls) of the room. Everything worked just fine, the location is right on the beach, but I guess most places can claim that on the outer banks. The rooms are very large with lots of room to spread out, enjoy your home cooked meal... More

My girlfriend and I visited the Blue Heron last year in October/November and we were very happy with our stay. The room was very comfortable, was near many attractions, close to the supermarket, and with a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor, you have a great view of the ocean. Would happily stay again.
