"First let's talk about the Pro's. The Inn is in a great location. Although it is surrounded by Nags Head, you feel like you are in your own secluded resort with the beautiful landscaping surrounding the entire compound. It is an easy walk across the street to the beach with a dedicated pathway just for visitors. They provide really nice beach chairs if you need one. The room prices are fair and doable. Included in the price of your stay is an amazing breakfast every morning. All kinds of sweets, fruits, cereal, muffins and a hot plate selection from the chef. And when I say hot plate, I mean lemon cream stuffed French toast with fresh blueberries and blueberry syrup, etc. Also included is a Wine and cheese happy hour every afternoon. The house wine is delicious and they provide a huge charcuterie board loaded with fruits, cheeses, crackers, olives, pickles, cookies and so much more. The pool was clean and there were lounge chairs, pool toys and umbrellas. I was told there were towels available, but I brought my own. Because of a limited amount of rooms you will find it to be quiet and peaceful. Decks all the way around with ample seating to catch the sea breeze. The rooms were very cute and a bit rustic. I have only two Con's. My heated towel bar did not work and they advertised robes in the rooms which I did not have. Seriously, who cares? A lovely, lovey place to stay."

"Peace of paradise in the middle of the vacation action. Wonderful staff."

"We enjoyed our overnight stay immensely. Passing through the outer banks, we headed to nags head from manteo from tarboro. We will definitely return. The quaint old fashioned hospitality was most appreciated. Rooms: Beautiful antiques and comfortable beds Nearby activities: Lots of attractions nearby. Beaches and sand dunes are amazing Safety: Completely safe and sound area. Food & drinks: Delicious breakfast and tasty wine Noteworthy details: The staff was super sweet and accommodating"

"This is a hidden gem in Nagshead. We only stayed 1 night before our week long house rental in corolla, but wished we had stayed longer. There is a personal, homey, bed-and-breakfast charm to the place. Our room was neat and well put together, but not flashy, the grounds were beautifully kept and made you feel secluded from the hustle and bustle of Nagshead, and the breakfast was delicious. There are certainly hotels and resorts in OBX with more amenities, but if you're looking for a charming, intimate beach getaway on a very affordable budget this place really has everything you need. I look forward to coming back!"

"Gorgeous property, excellent service from everyone there, and the location was perfect! Free access to bikes, free beach chairs, and direct, dedicated access to the beach. Not to mention the free breakfast and afternoon social every day, which were a highlight. Rooms : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Location : 5/5 "

"Great first stay. We'll be back!"

"Great experience. Our room was on third floor, facing sunset. Very private and quiet. Lovely breakfast service and afternoon wine social. We had three days of socked-in fog and TV outage, but we made the best of our stay, despite these issues. Other guests provided interesting conversation. Very relaxing setting."

"Nice historic inn located at the midway point when visiting the Outer Banks. We stayed on the 3FL John Spendlove room. Complimentary breakfast each morning was plentiful and delicious! I loved being able to fill up my small travel cooler with ice to take on our day outings. The bathroom shower was pretty tight (travel trailer size), but the towel warmer was a plus. The small kitchenette with frig and bar sink was also convenient. Highly recommend First Colony Inn."

"Excellent place….second time staying and definitely will stay again. Love the location and all the amenities and everyone there is very friendly!"

Thanks again to the wonderful staff!"

This will be our place to go for our anniversary trips from now on!! Thank you so much First Colony Inn!!"
