"My wife and I spent the weekend here to celebrate our anniversary and absolutely loved it! It’s a great place to stay at the beach and the location is perfect. We echo all the 5 star comments on this thread. What surprises me is that there are no comments about any unexplained experience. Early Sunday morning I woke up to rush of wind across my legs and a few minutes later, it happened again. I thought it was odd since the a/c was blowing the other direction but what happened next was crazy! Right after the second rush of wind, something was tapping the sheet between me and my wife and the tapping started at my feet and ended at my knee. It felt like a cat was walking between us. I looked the third time this happened and it stopped. I layed there wondering what the heck it was and it did it two more times. I kicked under the sheets on the fifth time and it stopped. We stayed on the third floor and, like I said, I’m surprised nobody has said anything about this but I’m curious if anyone else experienced something similar."

"Stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed so many things. The wrap around porch with a variety of chairs, the delicious breakfast each day, and happy hour. We also used the beach cruisers each morning for a long ride along the bike path/sidewalk. The grounds are spacious too. The hotel is close proximity to the beach. The staff was very friendly."

"The First Colony Inn is a lovely old property in a great location for visiting the Outer Banks. Our room was spacious, clean and well appointed. Buffet breakfast choices were very good and the hot option varied each day. There's a wonderful beach opposite the inn and a good selection of restaurants and shops nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return."

"Great trip! - We enjoyed our stay at the inn. The gardens and accommodations were excellent "

"As first time guests, my husband and I were very impressed! The room we reserved was furnished with a beautiful 4- poster bed, writing table, tiled bathroom with a heated towel rack, flat screen tv, and a pair of wingback chairs. The staff was very courteous and helpful, and the complimentary delicious breakfasts varied from day to day. There is a huge wrap-around porch with rockers and hammock chairs."

"We loved our visit to Nags Head and First Colony Inn. The sweet smell of Tea Olives welcomed us as we open our car door. The property and gardens are beautiful. Everything was perfect! Thank you. Rooms : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Location : 5/5 Hotel highlights Romantic, Quiet … More"

"Beautiful property - The service was great, hot and cold breakfast everyday. My only concern was that the blinds, especially in the bathroom lacked the amount of privacy I would prefer."

"We return here as often as we can! On our last 3 day stay the breakfasts were better than ever ! Noteworthy details: Friendly and helpful staff. Direct walk to the beach, nice gardens, afternoon social ( wine and snacks)."

"We loved our stay. Everyone was so kind especially the girl who worked so hard from check in and out serving breakfast cleaning table’s getting us ice. I wish I knew her name. She is a great employee and kind person. She deserves every cent of her pay plus way more. Breakfast’s were delicious. Short walk to the ocean. A very much needed getaway! Thank you for everything!"

"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."

"The property is nice and well maintained. Has historical charm. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again."

"What a lovely place! The room was extra clean, the grounds were beautiful, breakfast was tasty!! Having bicycles to borrow was definitely a perk! Everyone was friendly and I loved learning about the history! Thanks for a great stay, can't wait to visit again soon!"

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

"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!"
