"Love this place!!! Grounds were beautifully landscaped. Staff was pleasant and our room was perfect. If you want a getaway, this place is it! I will defiantly be back again!"

"You meet interesting people here, the pool is refreshing and there's plenty to do."

"Great hotel for the money... It's like a oasis in the middle of a chaos, with highway 12 right outside. Short walk to the beach. If you got some heft to you, be careful what room you get, our shower was TINY."

"We Stayed here for a week at the end of August. I wanted a room on the second floor so that I could swing as much as I wanted. Came with 2 children and had no problem setting up beds for them. A bed pulled out from under the queen and a sofa bed. Extra sheets and quilt could be found in the room, and anything extra you just needed to ask. Family friendly and had pool toys that could be played with, Though I would suggest more toys. Breakfast was delicious everyday. Social hour was also a nice bonus, I would suggest that maybe move a few hours up so that it is not right before dinner. Really enjoyed the Library. They had several games and books to read. They also had a puzzle that we did during that time. It was really nice to relax on a couch and chairs that was not our room. Loved the proximity to the beach and local restaurants. Right off the highway but you don't hear or feel like you are. The grounds are very well kept and clean. Staff are supportive and Helpful for whatever you need. While staying they had issues with water. It was a burden for a few hours, but had people come and fix. They offered full refund for those affected that night. If you are looking for a quaint, quiet, calm, relaxing, family friendly place...this is the place. We loved our experience and so glad we chose this place to come."

"Professional & friendly staff. Very clean hotel. Hot breakfast & even a wine social with ham & cheese in the evening. 5 stars all the way!!!"

"We visit several times a year. Wonderful place to just relax. Staff is excellent, food is always good. Close to several good restaurants. Short walk to the beach. Try it once and you will be back again."

"Great stay at a place with history in the area! All the staff that helped us was very pleasant. I did not expect it to be as good as it was for the price, honestly. Nothing was dirty in our room. The room itself felt very comfortable and more like 'home' than modern hotel rooms. Speaking of modern, the TV still had a ton of channels to watch and the Internet worked fine. The walkway to the beach isn't long and it's nice that the parking lot is close without having cars right outside your window like a traditional motel. The breakfast was freshly-cooked and tasted great. They even boxed it up for us to take to our room. The wine and cheese hour was fun and they did a great job organizing both the breakfast and the wine & cheese hour. When we needed towels, the male (sorry we forgot your name) desk attendant brought them right to our door. We will use First Colony Inn again for our next visit."

"This was our first time at First Colony Inn and my family loved it! My eight and six year old thought this place was the greatest and already requested to stay again next year! First off, the inn staff were wonderful. They were pleasant, accommodating, and friendly. It was very obvious how much much they care about the inn and their guests. Anything that we needed was promptly given to us such as towels, ice, etc. Even the maintenance men were friendly and always busy doing something on the grounds. Breakfast was delightful and something to look forward to each morning. There was always a variety of delicious food items along with a hot, home-cooked breakfast. The dining area was also quaint and had 1930's-ish music playing in the background while we ate... it almost made you feel like you were back in time to when the inn first opened. Small touches like that are so original! The beach is really close too and wasn't really crowded. The pool was also great, very nice and well maintained... and of course my boys loved it! The room was unique and very spacious for four people. Only next time, I think we will book a room with a private balcony. We were on the third floor and there was no balcony to sit out from our room. So happy to have taken a gamble on the 5-star Google/TripAdvisor reviews and found everything to be true. My family really enjoyed our first beach trip together, and staying at the inn helped create happy memories for a lifetime! It was truly a relaxing getaway for a week! Thank you!"

"Great hotel! Staff is so nice and accomodating. Beds are super comfy. Hotel grounds are beautiful. Best place to stay if in Nags Head. SUPER CLEAN Rooms : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Location : 5/5 … More"

"Beautiful gardens and outside deck. The room was large and spacious. Bathroom was great and shower nice. We could not stop talking about the comfortable bed - unreal. I did not want to get up each morning. The only secondary icee of puzzle was breakfast. This may be due to Covid but we were last shift in dining room each morning and food was never hot. Again as the situation improves, we hope then I would work on this. All else top notch. Comfortable historical beach inn. "

"We've stayed here twice and we love it! It's such a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. The grounds are beautiful and it has a nice, quick access to the beach. The rocking chairs on the porches make for a nice relaxing place to watch the sunset while listening to the ocean waves. There's no other place I'd like to stay while at OBX.

"My husband and I had an amazing stay at the First Colony INN! The room had a lot of character and charm. We can’t rate the breakfast because we didn’t eat breakfast here, we instead got breakfast from waveriders coffee and deli! We will definitely be back for years to come! 🙂 Rooms : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Location : 5/5 … More"

"Quaint place with beautiful rooms. Located perfect for beach access. Service was great. Rooms : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Location : 5/5 … More"

"This place was perfect was a couples' getaway for a few nights. Our room was very clean and we had everything we needed - plenty of space, clean bathroom, cute little porch, and kitchnette. The beach is literally a 2-minute walk from the back porch of the hotel. The area is alright, there's some dive bars and restaurants around, but it is located on a 4-lane road which can be very difficult to make a left out of (which is the direction everything is in). The hotel itself is wonderful, though, and the staff is going above and beyond to make safety a priority."

"Our sin booked us here for our 40th Anniversary. the Inn is so cute, the furnishings in the rooms are time period pieces and the art we really enjoyed. The bed was very comfortable. I love the rocking chairs on the porches and the walkway to the beach was just perfect! Want to come back!!! Rooms : 5/5 | Service : 4/5 | Location : 5/5 … More"

"Perfect home base for winter birding adventures at Pea Island, Bodie island, Roanoke island and Alligator river wildlife refuges. Friendly and helpful staff, immaculate facility, great garden, AND cool Christmas decorations! Have been going to First Colony for years and it is consistently a wonderful haven."

"Quaint, beautifully maintained as an era should be. Staff is kind and helpful. Breakfast was tasty and views and access are sweet."

"Spent last weekend at First Colony Inn. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were always helpful and cheerful. Loved the relaxing porches. The breakfast was great. The Inn does a wonderful job adhering to the "new normal". Will definitely go back. Be sure to check out the library and enjoy all the Inn has to offer!
