You may think all inns and beds and breakfasts are the same, but don’t be fooled – Outer Banks inns harbor a distinct coastal charm that you can’t find just anywhere. Sit out on a porch deck and let the ocean breeze cool your face, or snuggle into a cozy chair with your favorite book...but be warned that you will become attached to both actions! Outer Banks inns offer beautifully decorated rooms that keep you comfortable at night, and they’re located near plenty of attractions and activities to keep you busy during the day. Many inns and beds and breakfasts include amenities, such as free WiFi, bikes you can use to pedal around the area, televisions, libraries or pet-friendly options, that make a big difference in the appeal of your stay. Outer Banks inns and beds and breakfasts also have prime locations -- soundfront, in the middle of a downtown village, snuggled into trees -- that place you in the midst of the fun or in the lap of peace and quiet. Check out our listings below to see what will best suit your Outer Banks vacation.

The Burrus House Inn is a newly renovated bed and breakfast-style inn for family vacations, couples' retreats, weddings and other special events needing a beautiful setting. Every room boasts views of Shallowbag Bay. The spacious main building is a classic Outer Banks beach house that has been remodeled and decorated to inspire the light and inviting mood. The Burrus House Inn's 12 suites each have their own bedroom with a king or queen size bed, some with separate sitting room, kitchenette, bath and private deck. The common areas give guests places to meet and mingle with their fellow travelers, or to simply kick back in a rocker and watch the boats pass by. As of the summer of 2019, the inn includes a pool at the front lawn and water sports, including kayak and paddle board rentals that can launch from the Inn’s lagoon.

Interested in kitesurfing? This is your place on Ocracoke Island. The Sea Monkey Lodge & Kite School owner Keith Croghan is the ambassador of kiting on the island and gladly shares his love of the island and sport. With more than 15 years of experience teaching kite-surfing lessons, Keith operates the island's only kite school for all levels from beginners to advanced riders looking to enhance their skills and experience some of Ocracoke’s truly world-class kiting conditions and scenery. Beginner lessons are held in the safe, shallow, calm waters of the Pamlico Sound. For more advanced riders, Keith facilitates downwinders and excursions as well as tricks and wave-riding clinics. Want to graduate from the sound to the surf? This is the place! The guided downwinders are truly hidden gems through some of the island’s more hard-to-reach and untouched places. Keith also offers multi-day kite camps for all levels as well as sailing lessons on 15’ daysailers.
Keith operates a boutique kite lodge and budding permaculture ranch. The guest house, a perfect base for all your adventures, serves as the center for like-minded windsports and watersports enthusiasts. The lodge offers accommodations for larger groups but also welcomes solo travelers, with options of booking the whole property for your group, private rooms or even the occasional van/tent/coach camper. Tucked away on a quiet creek with plenty of shade and a well-provisioned kitchen, it’s got everything you need and is centrally located within walking distance to shops, bars and restaurants.
