"Celebrated our anniversary this weekend. Took pictures around the beautiful property. Staff is amazing. We’ll be back!"

"I stayed here for a night with my coworker, the inn is super charming and has great facilities. The location next to the beach is definitely a plus. I was surprised how affordable it was. I was pleasantly surprised as well by how amazing and filling breakfast was! It felt like a homecooked meal by my mom. I've traveled a lot for work and stayed in many hotels, and the breakfast in those places has never been that great."

"Great rest when on a road trip. "

"Beautiful vintage hotel clean with modern conveniences."

"We stayed in the Superior King Room on the third floor. This was a unique and authentic experience that I would recommend to anyone traveling in the OBX. It was like a step back in time. It has been kept up to modern standards while preserving it’s historical character from the 1930s. The ocean can be viewed from the room, and the room is filled with antique furnishings like a writing table, four poster bed, day bed, chairs, etc. Taking a bath was lovely, with a heated towel rack, and nice lighting to set the mood. I would 100% recommend this stay, and it’s very affordable. So glad to have stumbled across this place!"

"Enjoyed our stay at this quaint location. We had private access to the beach, walking distance to restaurants and markets. The staff was friendly and the room was clean. It was a nice place to relax and hang out after the events of the day. We had a kitchenette in our room so we could cook in if we desired. I liked that they had a library with books and games. The breakfast offered in the AM was good and the coffee was excellent! I never could say that at any other hotel I've been at. I'd say the only con was that the walls were a little thin so you could hear people walking around occasionally and the birds chirping in the morning. Although I don't think hearing birds in the morning is necessarily a con. I would definitely stay again and for a longer time. Rooms: rooms were large and clean. I had the deluxe king and it had a kitchenette with a little fridge and kureg coffee maker. Walkability: walking distance to restaurants and markets if needed. The beach access is just on the other side of the 12."

"Wonderful experience!! An amazing part of history with clean and comfortable rooms!! The afternoon charcuterie board and wine were a nice bonus! Breakfast was homemade every morning and was very satisfying! Staff really treated us well and were also vey willing to talk about the history of the property! We will alway have fond memories of this stay and highly recommend this to anyone wanting to stay in this cozy and comfortable inn!!"

"I had a great stay at this charming inn. The staff was extremely friendly and hospitable. Breakfast was amazing with a lovely continental spread in addition to a served hot dish. The evening social also featured some delicious items that were made in-house. I hope the chef never leaves! My room was extremely comfortable and cozy, and I loved that it didn't look like every other chain hotel room."

"One of my favorite parts of our stay was the hot plated breakfast. It was so cute, and the staff is awesome. I can't wait to return. Rooms : 4/5 | Service : 5/5 | Location : 5/5 … More"

"We loved the old school vibe of this place. The staff was very friendly and breakfast was delicious. Enjoyed the wine social while taking in some sun on the grounds of the Inn. The beach chairs and bikes are a nice benefit. Quick walk to the beach"

"Super cute inn! The outside picnic and outdoor seating areas are cute and great to use. Would definitely recommend"

"Great Breakfast! Clean! Older facility with Antique furniture. Had towel warming rack in bathroom. Toilet and tub were very low if you have issues getting back up. I loved it and would definitely go again. had chairs outside your room on the porch to sit and look over the gardens and outdoor pool. Only thing that would make it better was an oceanview. You could hear the ocean but not see it. Great stay would stay again. "

"Wonderful! "

"We always enjoy our stays at First Colony. Set back off the busy beach road it is secluded and peaceful Short walk to beach. Interesting decor in each room. all staff so friendly and accommodating. Love the Happy Hour where we can talk to other guests or sit alone. Hors d’oeuvres always good with fresh fruits, quality cheeses, some meats, crackers, etc. good wine. Breakfast is always amazing! In addition to normal stuff they will have a special dish like German Baked Eggs this time. And they use cloth napkins and real stainless. No plastic or paper! Classy! Quiet, wonderful staff, great location. Don’t change!"
