As always, enjoyed our stay in the OBX! First time staying at Beacon House. The pros: Locally owned, ocean front rooms were the closest to the beach we have ever stayed, nice people at the front desk, large deck area for ocean front rooms. Clean yet outdated room. The cons: the smallest room we have ever stayed in! Yes, we... More

Thank you for staying with us and taking the time to write a review. I am sorry you were not pleased with your stay. I can assure you we spend the entire off season making updates. As for the size of room and bathroom, we are an older motel built directly on the beach and cannot make changes. We are... More

We just got back from a stay at Beacon Motor Lodge. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean. We were easily able to add an additional day onto our stay. The shared patio was a favorite spot for us to sit with our coffee. We were in an efficiency so we had a kitchen that was... More

My husband and I just returned from another fantastic vacation at the Beacon. As mentioned by others, the rooms are a bit dated and small......but we go to the beach for the beach and not staying in the room. Our oceanfront queen room opened directly onto the beach patio where we spent most of our time watching the sunrise in... More

This is a 1960s motor lodge that has been kept up and clean. It is the style where you can pull right up to the door and unload your stuff. The pool deck and courtyard is in the center and it also has a nice oceanview upper deck on the beach. The rates drop this time of year and make... More

This place is just as we remembered. We love the old style and charm. Our room was clean and bright. We did a spur of the moment get away and did not have any reservations. We could have stayed at any of the new ugly high rise chain hotels but they looked so cold and unfriendly. I was greeted with... More

Rioms are a bit dated, but very clean. We stayed oceanfront and it was just a couple of steps to the beach with no dunes blocking view. We might have stayed a few more days if the Wifi was better. I can work remotely, but need a good wifi connection. The wifi could use upgrading. Otherwise a great experience. I... More

Thank you for staying with us and taking the time to write a review. Sorry you had trouble with the wifi when you are here. It may have been weather related.
