Blue Heron Motel exceeded my expectations. The staff is wonderful, the rooms are clean, and have all the household item's you'd want at the beach, but don't want to pack for yourself, like a broom & iron. The linens on the bed were comfortable and clean. The private balcony was a favorite feature. 10/10 for cleanliness, hospitality, & views. Will definitely stay again. Nice pools too!

We particularly appreciated that the property was pet-friendly, allowing us to bring our furry family members along for the trip. Additionally, its beachfront location provided easy access to the ocean, offering stunning views and convenient beach outings. This combination of pet-friendliness and a prime beachside setting made our stay truly enjoyable and memorable.

The location was great, near enough to do everything we wanted (beach, museums, water sports, dinner, ice cream!). We had a third floor room with fabulous views of the ocean and a well appointed balcony. The hotel was literally on the beach. We had an efficiency and it was great to have a kitchenette to do some of our meals in. This is an old fashioned beach motel, not fancy but very comfortable. We will definitely stay here every time we come to the OBX!

I liked that they are dog-friendly and that it is located by the beachfront. The breakfast is superb: consists of scrambled eggs, sausages, potatos, muffins, breads, waffle, cereals, yogurt and fruits. It is clean and the pool and beach access area is beautiful and relaxing. The incidentals or security deposit is only less than $40. They didn't charge me for any pet fee. It says no available parking but they do have free parking.
