"Unique place to stay in the OBX - The First Colony Inn B & B is unique to the Outer Banks. It has all the charm and ambiance that today's chain hotels lack. The staff is pleasant, the food is wonderful, and the setting is amazing. First Colony is situated on 4 acres -totally unheard of when considering the over-building in general. This will be where we will stay on future visits to Nags Head."

"1930s Charm with Modern Amenities - The First Colony is amazing. A beautiful historic inn in Nags Head complete with a library. The rooms are named after colonist from The Lost Colony. The library has logs dating back to 1940's. The room was spacious and comfortable with so much privacy we felt like we did not have neighbors. The breakfast was wonderful. We could not have imagined a better place to stay."

"First Colony Stay - It was a very good experience!"

"Great Inn - This was my first time to the outer banks. What a great choice. Great Inn with history, character, and charm. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the staff was very nice and took fantastic care of us. Afternoon social and morning breakfast were fantastic. We recommend the First Colony Inn very highly and will return ourselves. Mark Bray and Karen Morrison."

"Delightful surprise - I was staying here for business and was delighted. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The room was beautifully decorated and large. The exterior is charming and reflects old school Outer Banks from back in the day. Absolutely perfect."

"Romantic and warm historic inn - Our room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was great and varied in menu daily. We got good tips on areas to walk the beach or hike. The hotel has easy beach access across the street. We had late check in and I felt welcomed and got personal service in setting up arrival."

"Beautiful, charming bed and breakfast. Definitely will be coming back again."

"Clean and comfortable - Nice stop while on the OBX. Friendly staff with good restaurant recommendation. Thanks Chris."

"Nice inn close to beach and restaurants - This inn is an excellent value and is conveniently located. Our room was spacious and clean. We enjoyed the daily hot breakfast which was served in an attractive dining room. Staff members went out of their way to be helpful. I would definitely return.."

"Love it - Great place. Very old school feel."

"Wonderful stay! - Am very familiar with the Outer Banks having visited for many years during the summer months and staying either oceanfront or soundfront. This was a Fall visit and the First Colony Inn was a perfect location due to easy access via a designated boardwalk across the beach road and free parking accessed from the bypass. An added bonus was the free bikes available. The mattress could use an update, but didn't keep us from a restful sleep. Can't wait til next Fall for a return trip."

"Our regret is our stay was too short - My Sweetheart and I are on a grand tour of North Carolina, visiting the mountains and the coast. We stayed in 5 hotels in 5 nights and booked this room on the way to the Outer Banks. We read "historic inn" and saw the pictures - from experience this could either be a good thing or bad. We figured, "What the heck?" If it was horrible, it was only one night. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! We arrived after dark as the charming desk clerk was closing shop - he was leaving us a note and the keys and greeted me by name! (And he pronounced it correctly, too). The room was charming and comfortable. We rocked on the rockers, strolled down the path to the private entrance to the beach, and enjoyed visiting with total strangers in the breakfast room. The room and the experience were a steal at this weekday price, and we truly regretted we had to move along the next day. We dawdled - not wanting this to end too soon. The only negatives (very, very minor) was the size of the TV screen and the underwhelming breakfast. Since our return home, we've been telling everyone they need to stay here for charm, ambiance, and close access to everything enjoyable. Although we don't typically stay the same place twice, we're already talking about our next visit here."

"Pleasant surprise. - My wife and I made a last minute reservation at this hotel for one night. Having never been to the Outer Banks, we had no good perspective on the area or the accommodations that were available. We were pleasantly surprised with everything that the First Colony had to offer. The room had an old-style charm to. The wine social in the afternoon was nice and very relaxing. Short private walk to the beach. Small, clean pool was refreshing. Breakfast was outstanding."

"OBX History with modern amentities! - Great 2 night getaway with the hubby without our 5 kids. We visit OBX every year for a week stay in a large oceanfront home. This quiet, relaxed and historical in was perfect for a day and a half of relaxation... Look up the history, which I didn't know even after spending 38 years at this beach."

"It was one of the most pleasant vacation stays I my life! The hotel was beautifully decorated, very clean, and all the staffs were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely return!"
