Our trip to the Outer Banks was our first trip to that area. We choose the Inn because we wanted something different and something special to remember our trip by. The Inn succeeded in surpassing our expectations. The Inn is beautiful!! We loved our room, the Oleander, and the jaccuzi bath tub. We used the theater twice while there and... more

The inn is very nice. It's not a typical B&B. The rooms are well appointed and clean (my #1 criteria). Delicious cookies mid-afternoon, nice wine selection (by the bottle) 24/7 (serve yourself). We had a view of the sound from our room along with a deck right off the room with rocking chairs. We were only there one night on... more

This guest stayed with us the evening of 10/22. Our Executive Chef was away on short notice for a family issue. While our guest chef that evening and the asst. innkeeper that stepped in for breakfast the next morning represented the Inn well, we agree that the caliber of dining was not to the standards reflected by the overwhelming majority...

We have stayed at the Inn on the Pamlico Sound twice now, and have never been dissapointed. We first went last October for our one year anniversary, and we fell in love immidiately. My husband has been going to the Outer Banks for some time now, but never on a romantic trip like this one. We decided after that anniversary... more

We were on vacation in Frisco & had dinner at the Inn. The atmosphere was nice, but the food was very disappointing. The entrees were substandard. The fillet (steak) was 2 thin fatty,grizzley pieces, the crab cakes were like no other we've ever had- a bad thing. Perhaps the chef was off that night. We were highly disappointed in the... more

We ask that this traveler please contact the Inn and ask for Steve, the owner. It is our policy to provide complete satisfaction, or there is no charge. I would like to hear from them about their experience, and provide them full credit for another meal at their convenience.

This is a wonderful place to relax and "get away from it all". The Oleander room took our breath away when we entered the room. The rooms are large and spacious. Beautiful accomodations and a private deck overlooking the Sound make this Inn well worth the long trip from Ohio. We arrived just as a "Nor'Easter" arrived in the area.... more

We just returned from a four night extended weekend stay at the Inn on Pamlico Sound. The Inn and the staff exceeded our every expectation. From the wonderful breakfasts every morning on the deck, homemade warm cookies each afternoon, sunset views from our Magnolia room, a fabulous romantic diner that would please even the most discriminating foodie and our first... more
