"First time visiting. We will be back. Wonderful place great food. "

"Wonderful stay. Will be back for sure. Breakfasts all were spectacular. Location of your facility is great for access north and south banks"

"We had an amazing time and we loved our stay with you, everything was top notch and we can’t wait to come back! "

"This was our fifth year staying at the First Colony Inn, and, as always, our stay was perfect. The rooms are always very nicely appointed; the staff is always friendly; and the amenities are wonderful. There is no other place in the OBX where we stay now."

"A unique mix of country charm in a beach environment. We enjoyed our stay - loved the pool and the easy access to the beach. The breakfast was fantastic. "

"I LOVE First Colony Inn. I am old enough to remember when it was on ocean side. I still love it. It has period furnishings that seem just right. The porches take you to a grand era gone by. Stay here and just know Gatsby is around the corner. Beth and her staff are the best."

"Loved this place! Great location, amenities, staff, and the grounds are beautiful and well kept. Highly recommend!"

"We love staying at First Colony Inn. The staff, the rooms and the food is wonderful. This year was our 5th stay and far from our last! If you love a B&B feel to a hotel, this is the place to stay!"

"This place is a hidden gem. Breakfast is alway free and a great way to start your day. The complimentary happy hour offers a wonderful charcuterie spread along with white or red wines. The whimsical nature of the manicured grounds are fun to examine and photograph. The pool, wrap around decks, rocking chairs, beach chairs, bikes and hammocks offer a variety of relaxation. Of course, the private access to the ocean is just a short walk to the beach. Staff are friendly and helpful. Alma was new to the resort but was a pleasure to meet. Not our first trip and we will be back again!"

"We checked out this morning from after a three night stay. Our room was the Thomas Ellis. What a truly amazing stay, from the front desk , the young girl who helped seat us each morning for breakfast, the amazing food, the clean comfortable room, beautiful grounds and the sweet housekeeping staff who came by to check if we needed anything. We will definitely be back. Thank you again for making our anniversary celebration memorable ❤️"

"Such a wonderful place to stay. Cozy, inviting, unique, and close to the beach. Such a lovely time. "

"We loved First Colony Inn and would definitely return! The Inn has a unique and quaint vintage beach feel and lovely (and comfortable) rooms. The manager and her entire team were friendly and so helpful with everything we needed (including where to find a great non-touristy place for dinner). The afternoon happy hour was a nice surprise (especially on a rainy day), and the chocolate croissants at breakfast were amazing!! Five stars! "

"An absolute gem of OBX! Beach access, a pool, porch swings, breakfast-- what more could you need? This was our first time staying at the First Colony Inn, and on day two we agreed that we would be returning and staying here again next summer. I've been coming own to OBX for 30 years with my family and normally stay at a big house. As it was just two of us, we decided to check out the inn and it did not disappoint. Lovely little historical details, birds chirping, a whimsical garden, and truly wonderful, kind staff. We rode bikes to nearby spots, enjoyed use of the provided beach chairs and towels, and lounged by the pool (which always had open seats!) Location is close to great restaurants like Sam & Omie's, there's mini golf and ice cream just across the high way, and it truly felt like returning home at the end of the day. The bathroom and whole room really felt larger than in the photos, and were very relaxing and charming. The provided breakfast was tasty and had a little something anyone could enjoy. We will definitely be back!"

"Great location and quick little walk to the beach. Everyone was friendly and polite. The room was beautiful and I had a nice view of both the sound and ocean when I was on the deck/porch outside my room. Will definitely book here again in the future. "

"Very nice room, great service and a wonderful breakfast and evening Happy Hour. Looking forward to visiting again"

"For a traveler who likes to be treated like a guest, not a ghost this is the place to stay. The gardens and gardeners are so lovely, the staff is welcoming and friendly, the rooms and amenities are all comfortable and well thought out. A gracious inn for grateful guests."

"Great food, great staff, nice guests great location. 😄"

"Perfect stay!"

"I have stayed at First Colony several times and each time it gets better and better!! The grounds are beautiful (my now husband even proposed in the garden there last year!), the rooms are always clean and well maintained, the food is always top notch, and every staff member we have met has been absolutely wonderful! It is the ideal place for a restful and relaxing vacation. Already looking forward to our next visit!!!"

"Cleaning staff was awesome. Logan at front desk was helpful and awesome! Breakfast and the breakfast staff was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!! Thanks Cary for the garden and garden art tour. Your work is also ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"This was the second year in a row that me and my family have chosen First Colony Inn to stay in. We haven’t been disappointed! The staff are absolutely fantastic! Accommodations are so cozy and feels a little like home away from home! Their breakfast is so good!!! See you next year!!!! "

"This was our second trip and we loved our time at the Inn. The gardens are so refreshing, amusing and a treat. We are amazed at the creativity exhibited in the gardens and the porches. The porch chairs invite you to pause and just sit awhile. Justin added so much to our stay, his good morning smile and the breakfasts we are already missing. We would not think of staying anywhere else in Nags Head. Thank you for the refreshment we needed and received. We hope to see you again next year."

"We love coming here. Everyone is always very helpful and attentive to our needs. We appreciate the staff and the lovely grounds. Thank you! "

"We had an absolutely wonderful first-time stay at First Colony Inn and are looking forward to staying there again next summer! From the kind staff to the unique and beautiful gardens and art throughout the property, the inn really is a slice of heaven. Easy and quick access to the beach, a yummy breakfast, and well-sized rooms are just a few amenities that we enjoyed here. We both felt so relaxed and slept better than we have all year!"
