Shutters on the Banks

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and nice view of the ocean . Breakfast is ok, not the best but free . The staff was very helpful . It was very quiet at night ."

John Yancey Oceanfront Inn

8/10 Good

"The staff that we encountered were nice and helpful! The property is a great location and the room was updated and nice. We love the area at the beach for sitting and reading and relaxing. My complaint would be this horrible musty smell in the hallways, also would have been nice to have been provided beach towels. Overall I would stay here again for sure. Perk they have a breakfast for free. Of course it’s simply but much appreciated."

Ocean Sands Beach Boutique Inn - Stay At the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Oh my goodness what a beautiful Inn. They left no stone unturned their attention to detail is impeccable. I absolutely would travel there again and again. I also found out they have a place in St Augustine FL. I am definitely going there. The vibe is very relaxed even though the property was sold out it was not crowded at anytime. One note I want to tell is that there is no elevator it’s an Inn and it’s only 3 stories. I did not mind at all and I’m a senior citizen. I want to thank the staff for the wonderful experience and the beautiful memories I made with my adult children. Can’t wait to come back."
