Top hotels in South Nags Head

Comfort Inn South Oceanfront
The breakfast was great and the breakfast staff was two steps above excellent. Staff was great. The room was clean and the location is one of the best in Nags Head. The hotel just has a few years on it and a person can tell.

Dolphin Oceanfront Motel
My wife and went for a weekend getaway. The room was very nice. Easy beach access. The only thing I would do next time I go is bring my own pillow. The ones they had were okay but not what I prefer.
