If you’ve ever dreamed of camping indoors, congratulations, you’ve found your paradise! Why pitch a tent when you can just book a room here and enjoy that “wilderness vibe” from your soggy carpet? Ceiling tiles dangle overhead like they are ready to fall. The “ocean view”? Sure, if you can see through the thick layer of grime on the window. It’s like looking at the beach through a dirty fish tank. The carpet? Let’s just say it tells a story. One with dogs, accidents, and a cleaning crew that gave up years ago. Don’t expect fresh towels or a made bed either. They don’t bother cleaning the room daily. For extra excitement, our first night we didn’t even have a lock on our door. Nothing says “welcome” like realizing anyone could walk right in. To their credit, they did send someone up an hour later to install one. And don’t forget the wildlife! Millions of bugs hold nightly meet-ups right outside your door, buzzing happily around the vent. They are everywhere in the room. Dresser drawers, walls, sink, etc. We also tried the bistro. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to chew a leather belt shaped like tuna, you’re in luck. On the positive side, the bar staff was actually very friendly. Too bad they were the highlight of the entire stay.

Worst vacation experience I have ever had. I picked this hotel because it had decent reviews and the location was good. Booked a room for 4 nights. Upon arrival the hotel room had a musky odor and the temperature of the room was 80 degrees. Gave them the benefit of the doubt that the temperature would decrease after turning thermostat down. Woke up the next morning to the room being 85. Complaint was given to front desk & hours later had to complain about nobody coming to room to check on air conditioning. They flushed the pipes and temperature went down to 80. Next morning 82 and another Complaint given. Again, they flushed the line and temperature went down to 78. An hour later temperature back to 85. Complained to front desk again and they gave me another room. That room was even hotter. Went again around 10pm and asked if there was any rooms with the same accommodation that actually had air conditioning. They had 1 on the 2nd floor of their main building but not ocean front and much much smaller. Due to the heat I changed rooms but lost the bigger room with ocean fron and the room was in much worse shape cosmetically. Manager never contacted me back with money back on the difference of the room cost and no compensation or apology was ever given for the 1st room and 2 nights we stayed in the sauna room. This place is in desperate need of repair and upgrades along with an exterminator. Room had bugs, refrigerator wouldn’t cool enough to put food in and the carpet was moist.

It was fantastic to be at the Sea Ranch again! It was our 5th stay here, but with a 5 year gap between our 4th visit and this one it was great to see that so many of the things we love about the Sea Ranch are still intact; a friendly, welcoming staff, both at the hotel and the oceanfront Bistro, unmatched oceanfront views from our room (see photos included), and all at such a great location. The hotel is minutes to Nags Head and Kitty Hawk, while still being tucked away on the quiet beachfront of OBX that we always crave. It’s evident that the staff at the Bistro takes great pride in their offerings. The food is so good that we consistently see locals dining and drinking there, which makes it even more enjoyable as travelers. We felt right at home instantly!

Called the night before my reservation and asked to cancel. I told them 50 MPH winds were forecast for the Outer Banks and that I was not about to travel under those conditions. I was nastily informed that since it was a second party reservation (TripAdvisor) that they were unable to cancel the reservation. Money thrown away as I safely stayed home.

We had an xcellent stay. Love the onsite restaurant and the room was clean and very comfortable. The views were beautiful. Loved sitting in the balcony drinking my coffee and watching the sunrise every day. Best part was I could lay in bed andisten to the waves through the open slider.

The Sea Ranch is one of our favorite places to stay in the Outer Banks - an oceanfront room is a great value to be so close to the beach and the resort is very family friendly! The room is no frills but adequate and comfortable, AC works great. The only issue we found was that a previous person’s open bag of chips was still stashed away in the dresser drawer, so I’m unsure of how thorough cleanings are. But we will definitely be back, we’ve been staying here fairly consistently since 2014!
