Perfectly located to visit anywhere in the OBX. The ocean view from the 4th floor was amazing. The room was clean, spacious and had plenty of everything. The housekeeping was superb and the front end staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely book again next year.

The Sand Spur was in the perfect location. The beach is very easy to access, and the pool was a nice addition. It was fairly quiet, and the staff were friendly. There is some age of the building showing through, but the overall stay was perfect for exploring the Outer Banks.
