"Our kids dubbed this place a “home-tel” and I think that’s fitting. It is kind of like home, but also a hotel. The Beachwoods Resort is a really great spot to vacation with kids while in the Outer Banks. It is a wonderful alternative to a traditional beach house, blending some of the luxuries of a nice hotel with the additional bonus of resort-like amenities. You’re tucked into a serene wooded area, but within a mile of the beach. Which, by the way, you have access to a private beach parking lot, included with your room’s rate. Additionally, you’re in close proximity to Walmart, Target, and Publix for miscellaneous snacks and items you may want/need to grab after arriving! We frequented a slew of great restaurants, coffee shops, and ice cream spots all within 10 minutes of the resort.
The rooms are exceptionally clean, and stocked with all of the things you’d need during your stay. Just a quick text to the front desk, and more of whatever you need (fresh towels, TP, etc) is delivered to you. The indoor and outdoor pools are spectacular! We used them daily. The fitness center exceeds most hotel gyms. There is a washer/dryer available with each unit. This is life changing when traveling with littles. Not only did this save me from returning home to a mountain of laundry, but it simplified packing knowing this was available ahead of time.
Negatives: Our room had several centipedes, likely due to the humidity and wooded location.
Overall: We would recommend this property!"
