Weekend getaway
Great little place for a weekend getaway that did not break the bank. Room was very clean with solid amenities. Really enjoyed the boutique hotel experience the Tar Heel offered.

Fantastic location and beautiful rooms!
The owners have taken an old motel and turned it into beautiful beach style rooms with an excellent location. There are no dirty corners. Go to Sam and Omi’s for food, because it’s the best. The only recommendations I would make is for the owners to provide a plunger because it’s on septic and a flyswatter because it’s by the beach. Thank you! We will be back.

Pleasant
Our stay was pleasant. Comfortable room and quiet area. The bath tub plug was rusted, couldnt close it. No hair dryer. We would stay again.

Nice hotel, needs better pillows
Great! The air conditioning should not shut off constantly and the pillows are very cheap and not comfortable at all but otherwise it was great!

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is a classic style reminiscent of the 50s and 60s yet it has amenities such as microwave, toaster oven, keurig coffee maker, and mini fridge. The only problem was that the wi-fi was never available. The receptionist said that they had called for repair but it never happened in our 3 night stay. I would gladly stay here again.

8/10 Very Good

It was a normal motel room, nothing fancy. I liked the small fridge, microwave oven, and toaster oven. The service was so so. When they would come, they would forget to replenish soap, toilet role, shampoo, and coffee etc. The shower had some glue type marks, and they did not go away. The airconditioner water left a unlighly mark outside.

Given it is a Motel, they did good. I had several “must haves” and they ticked the boxes. Within Nags Head, dog friendly without conditions, near the beach, a nice pool, reasonable cost. There is a neighboring restaurant The Dunes that we used a few times but check their hours, not always open. The staff were a little intimidated by our two large dogs but still smiled and vacuumed up our mutts dog hair without complaint. So would i book Tar Heel again, yes.

Bathroom is tiny. Parking is interesting. You park “right” outside your door , or within a few feet of it. Public beach access is right across the street. The room was clean and the staff was friendly.

LOVED It!
Stayed for one night, loved the check in process, the room was super clean, bed super comfy! I do wish the parking lot was a little bigger, but regardless, I will definitely be staying here again!

6/10 Good

If you're looking for the most basic property to stay a night or two, this is your place. The room was clean and the space is very small. The window air conditioner made the room either very hot or very cold. The TV speaker was blown, so it resonates if turned up enough to hear it. The bathroom is the size of a campers bathroom. The bed is pretty comfortable and no bed bugs. Bare bones is the best way to describe it.
