"About the most pleasant hotel stay ever. Always wanted to stay, we needed a hotel room for a couple of days...a week would have been better. The history and charm of the place appealed to us in a big way. The pace of life slowed down and we actually felt like we belonged. Very solid and emotionally rewarding two days. "

"Loved It - Very helpful staff. Great recommendations. Easy walk to beach."

"Wonderful historical B&B that was truly a wonderful experience. Wish we could have stayed longer!"

"great deal during off season - really nice place for a romantic, get away weekend."

"Charming Inn - Great hot breakfast. Comfortable bedding. Nice porches, but it was winter so we did not sit outside. Not on the beach but easy beach access across the street. My only negative was there was road noise from the highway, but I would stay there again."

"Delightful bed and breakfast - Comfy suite with access to beach and wrap around porch was great spot to relax. Breakfasts were delicious and plentiful"

"Great Hotel on Nags Head - Beautiful hotel priced appropriately with easy access to the beach. It was a wonderful experience and the room and bed were very comfortable. "

"Gemuetliches B&B - Wir haben uns im First Colony Inn sehr wohlgefuehlt. Wir wurden mit selbst gebackenem Kuchen und mit verschiedenen Getraenken zur Happy Hour verwoehnt. Auch das Fruehstueck war liebevoll zubereitet. Das First Colony Inn war sehr gemuetlich und heimelig. Wir koennen es waermstens empfehlen. "

"We would definitely go back! - The only thing that was wrong was that we were originally given a small room with a queen bed when we thought we had reserved a large room with a king bed. We went to the desk to complain, and were told that sometimes 3rd party bookings get jumbled. Not good. However, we were given a room that was even better than we thought we had reserved, with a Jacuzzi tub. Good! The guy that helped us with the room also gave us wonderful restaurant recommendations, and provided cookies when we arrived a bit late to the "afternoon tea" He more than made up for the original snafu. The place is nice, and clean. Wifi worked well. The library is interesting and nice to have. The breakfast was okay to good. The walk to the beach is short, and we slept well in spite of the lights that are always on outside. It's a great location on the OBX."

"Great place excellent value. Hidden gem."

"Very nice accommodations - We truly enjoyed our stay. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. Our room was spacious, bright, and all of the amenities worked just fine. Our only beef with our room we're the tall bed posts at the foot of the bed. They made for difficult viewing of the tv. The grounds are beautiful and very relaxing. You're only a short walk to the beach just across the road in the back. The wine and apps at 4:00PM each day added a nice touch. The restaurant recommendations by the staff were spot on. We would definitely stay here again when visiting the Outer Banks and highly recommend it."

"Perfect anniversary getaway - It was a beautiful place, nice grounds for strolling and sitting, romantic, near the beach. Breakfast brought to us!"

"Still the best place to stay in Nags Head - Second time visiting Nags Head and second time staying at the Inn. So yes, we really liked it the first time so had to stay here again. Best thing about this inn are the wide wrap around porches, so comfortable and relaxing when your goal was to sit on a rocking chair and do nothing at all. Breakfast was good, different hot items for the two days we were there. Afternoon wine and snacks were even better than we remembered. The private beach, although not right off the property, was just across from the road and uncrowded. Rooms come in different sizes, some bigger than others, and porch access is easier if you are on first and second floor as there are none on the third floor."

"What a lovely place... - The staff is super nice and incredibly helpful, plus you can always have a chat with them. I'm totally in love with this place, and for sure I'll come back! :)"

"Quaint Historic Inn - We enjoyed a much too brief overnight stay at the Inn. The staff was very pleasant and warm, we felt at home immediately. We arrived a little early and were able to check in. This was extra nice since our stay was so short. Our room was on the 2nd floor with a beautiful view of the grounds and just a bit of the ocean. The veranda had rocking chairs, hammock swings & plenty of seating to just relax and enjoy the view. The complimentary happy hour was an unexpected treat and we enjoyed a glass (or 2) of wine with the view. Our room was tastefully decorated with furniture from the era, including a sitting room with comfortable wing back chairs and love seat. If we would get the chance, we would definitely visit for a longer time. "

"Great OBX Hotel - Great stay in a beautiful room with fantastic views from all around the property. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and our stay was very relaxing."

"Beautiful place. Loved our room. Lots of vintage beachside charm. The grounds are gorgeous. Delicious breakfast. 1 minute walk to beach on a private path. Look forward to staying there again. Even bought myself a First Colony Inn t-shirt."

"We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful place. Loved the wrap around porches and the gardens."

"Place is lovely, pretty place. Very clean and the managers and the people working there were very nice. Loved all the ammenities. Made us feel comfortable, and welcome"

"A charming historical near the shore. - I really wanted a stay that was not a "box" hotel. First Colony Inn was just the place. It is on the historical registrar having originally been built in 1932. There is no elevator, so if you don't like stairs, get a first floor room. The climb is well worth it though. The rooms have a " homey" feel. The room was not really fancy, but it was comfortable and cool. It reminded me of staying with family. The Inn served breakfast and afternoon snacks; both were very good. The beach is just across the road, and the hotel has its own access. The grounds were absolutely lovely with flowers everywhere. Porches wrap around all of the floors and afford a wonderful place to sit. There is also a lovely patio in the back. If you are looking for an "out of the box" option for a lovely vacation in Nag's Head, this is definitely the place to go. Many wonderful memories were made during OUR stay. "
