The rooms are clean but it’s an old place. Have to drive a good distance to get anywhere but the food at the pier grill is excellent!

I’ve never stayed at the motel, but I love going there to the pier they have the best burgers and french fries on the island in my opinion.

Rooms are very small. It is quite outdated and could seriously use renovations, especially the bathroom in our room. Fairly quiet. The pier is very nice. The staff was great! Would stay again. But pricey for what you get, honestly. They did clean everything well, though. The restaurant was okay, pricey, though.

Awesome place to stay. Staff were very friendly. Rooms were very clean. Walking distance to the restaurant and pier. Food is really good and average prices. Service was fast. Private beach access. Very short walk to the beach. Plenty of parking even with a boat. Boat ramp very close maybe 3 or 4 miles. This will always be our first choice for a hotel for now on.

A great island (Topsail Island, NC) we discovered on the way back from Florida. Hotel was very clean and staff was fantastic. Room a little small. Bed very comfortable with a view of the ocean! Great restaurant right next to hotel. Beautiful white powdery sand beach with private entrance! What a find! Will definitely be back!
