The first night was great with no issues. The second night was terrible with dogs in both rooms beside us trying to putbark each other.

They did a great job renovating the Tar Heel motel. Clean, comfortable rooms. Bring K-cups with you if you are a big coffee drinker and don’t pack heavy. This is the best of old school Outer Banks, reminds me of when my parents would take us to OBX in the 70’s staying at the Beacon.

Check in was a breeze. Room was clean. A/c did not work very well (Not cool enough). Fridge did not keep my items cool, even after turning up the temp. Overall ok, but the A/c and fridge are important items that need to be updated to make stay more comfortable.

It's very close to the beach, it is clean. The room as well as the bathroom is very tinny if you are a bigger person you will hate the shower as well as the small space where the toilette is. The staff will empty your trash and replace the towels, but that's as far as it goes. Parking is in front of the room, if you have a full-size pickup or SUV........ but overall ok and clean.

Clean and quiet property. Walking distance to several restaurants and a short drive to others. Easy beech access and close to Jeanette's pier.
