My husband and I just stayed in one of the Ocean-Front Queen rooms for the weekend! The location of this propery is great...around MM 10. The view is GREAT! No dunes in the way! The patio is nice. The property is old, but they are working to maintain it. They were putting in a new ramp/walk-way to the beach while... More

Thank you Jennifer for taking the time to write such a nice review! We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and want to return! We do have new carpet scheduled to be installed on the oceanfront the first of May. There is so much to do with the upkeep of an oceanfront property. Our wonderful staff works very... More

What it is - a small family run motorlodge with friendly staff. The motorlodge is centrally located right on the ocean with great views. The rooms are quite small but clean. We stayed there 2 nights at the cost of one night at one of the bigger "chains". So if you are looking to spend most of your time at... More

I had been planning a fishing trip for my husband for months but luck was not on our side. Hurricane Irene left us with a cancelled trip to Buxton. We rescheduled for Nags Head with a local realty company only to drive 5.5 hours to a house that had electrical/cable wires wrapped around it. The realty office was extremely rude... More

Thank you for staying with us and taking the time to write such a nice review. We are happy we were able to provide you with a good vacation. The Outer Banks really is about southern hospitality, we are sorry you had a bad experience with another company. We appreciate the nice compliments about the staff, everyone works very hard!...

My family ended up staying at this wonderful motel when we couldn't access the beach house we had rented for the week due to Hurricane Irene. Robin, the manager, was able to help us secure a last minute reservation, responding very quickly to a reservation request sent by me via email. This was all during the aftermath of the hurricane...

Thank you for staying with us and taking the time to write such a nice review. Our staff worked very hard to get the property back in order after Irene. We went from a hurricane on August 27 to a full house on August 29. This was not an easy acomplishment! If at all possible, we like to be available... More

I would like to say I loved it here, but it was just okay. The rooms are small and old. They were clean enough, but I was not impressed with the total cleanliness. Windows are small, linens are dated, bathroom is very small. The location is good, the staff is very friendly and nice. I have no complaints about the... More

Thank you for taking the time to review our property. We are sorry you did not enjoy your stay and don't plan to return. We are an older family friendly beach front property. We are constantly working 10 months a year on maintenance. We cannot change the size of our bathrooms. As far as the complimentary beer being hot for... More

My husband and I stayed here in August of 2010 and are about a week away from our next stay here. (Can't wait!) I think we'll be returning to the Beacon for many years to come, and we're even thinking about bringing some other family members with us next year. This is a wonderful place to stay...rooms are clean, pool... More

We rented the cottage and were very happy with our stay. We loved being so close to the beach. The beach was never crowded and the cottage was very clean when we checked in. There is a nice play area for the kids as well as charcoal grills which is nice. We would definitely recommend this motel if you are... More
