John Yancey Oceanfront Inn, Kill Devil Hills (NC) - Deals & Reviews

Highly accommodating staff made for a pleasant experience.

During my stay, I encountered several issues that detracted from my overall experience. The ice machine was consistently out of order, leading to my husband having to buy ice for $4 after already spending $1,300 for three nights.

The location is fantastic, just a minute from the beach! The room had a lovely ocean view and the beds were heavenly, proving why this place is a favorite for many.

Sadly, the older sections without elevators made lugging luggage a hassle and the thin walls allowed for too much noise from neighbors, which affected my peace during the stay.

the location is super close to the beach, just about 100 ft walk, which was awesome. rooms were clean and comfy, with a nice a/c that worked great. breakfast had so many choices, like waffles and muffins that were delish! love the picnic area too, it was perfect for some snacks outside. the staff was super friendly and helpfull, made the stay even better.

the early check-in was a mess, we paid extra for it but our room wasn't ready when we got there. also, there were no plates or silverware in the kitchenette, which was kinda strange.

I enjoyed direct access to the beach from my room, which made my mornings relaxing. The picnic area was a nice touch for snacks after visiting local sites. The staff were helpful, especially when I needed assistance with my dog. I found it strange when I was warned not to take my dog past the high tide mark on the beach. My stay felt like a nice blend of home and vacation.

The beach access was perfect for my family, especially with two little ones in tow. We loved the variety of activities like jet skiing and the fantastic pool area which kept the kids entertained. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, and the central location was a huge hit with our family.

In my wife’s opinion, more kid-friendly snacks at breakfast would be great.

oceanfront views, ample nearby restaurants

limited pool area

Spacious room, comfortable kitchenette, with great access to the beach just steps away and a beautiful seasonal outdoor pool that made relaxing easy after a long day of exploring.

Nothing not to love.

Room was very clean and bright, had a kitchenette with plenty of counter space, and the breakfast had hot waffles and tasty fruit salad. The location was excellent, right on the beach area!

Absolutely satisfied.
