We loved that this property is on the ocean! We were there in the off-season, so we didn't use the pool, although it looked very nice. The breakfast was great with a good selection. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. Really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!
This hotel was surprisingly beautiful and extremely clean. The staff was so helpful and professional, and of course the views are amazing.

The breakfast was decent. I was able to walk right into the sand from my deck. However there were some spots on the floor that felt like were going to fall through.
Room was clean. Access to beach was great with gazebo to look out over the beach.

The hotel is right on the beach and it was convenient to get to the shore. The hotel is a little dated, though, but the location was great. It was centrally located and an easy drive to Ocracoke to the south and Corolla to the north. We wished that the quality of the breakfast was a bit better. We stayed four nights and some variety would have been nice.
I really enjoyed my stay. The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was good. I liked that I could walk out of my room and be on the beach in a few minutes. The gazebo offered great views and the beach was lovely. Very convenient location. The staff were all extremely nice and helpful.
Out stay was great, great location! The staff was super friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable, the only downside for us was the wifi that didn't work on the Four Seasons building, the signal was so weak. Besides that, definitely recommend and would stay again for sure.
Love everything about the Yancey!! Especially the gazebo like hut at the top of the dunes! Great friendly staff especially Danny who was so welcoming to visitors!! Fun breakfast set up..Clean rooms! Great spot!!
This was a great get away .
Truly Ocean front property. Very clean, great staff, perfect location for OBX journey. Breakfast and parking. Pool was beside road is only “ ding” - if you will. I will definitely be back.
Such a family friendly hotel. We were nervous about traveling with a three month old but the location itself was perfect. We stayed in a suite so I was able to manage nursing baby quite well on the road. The beach and pool were only steps away which was helpful!
