We chose this place as it was "pet friendly." It was very clean, well maintained and the rates were reasonable. The room was spacious. Didn't have much contact with staff but did seem friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

We came upon this place based on the recommendation of a good friend. We were looking for just a one night stay before we checked into our house but wished we had just stayed here for the week. The place is typical for the area on the outside, kind of plain but well maintained. The room was surprisingly spacious, extremly... More

I have stayed at Cape Pines 3 years in a row with my dog for our spring break. The hotel is clean, well kept and convenient and the rates are really reasonable. This is not a fancy hotel, but it works for me and I always enjoy a comfortable stay. If your looking to enjoy the Outer Banks off the... More

When we want to spend a few days driving out on the beach at Buxton we keep coming back to the Cape Pines, sometimes with kid and sometimes without. The place has a lot of charm with the old style, but it is very comfortable and clean. So many of these old motels were left to run down to the... More

This was our first overnight stay with our 2 dogs and this was the perfect place. A roadside motel from the past! Affordable and older for sure, but very, very clean. The owners are all about the pets as we are. Very nice leash free yard for the pets. We booked a suite so that we could eat in and... More

Had a trip planned to Rodanthe,NC for spring break 2013 then got an opportunity to head down a few days early - house we rented for the week wasn't available. PANIC!

I love this place. I have been staying here for the past six years when visiting the OBX. The owners are warm and welcoming and are dog lovers. The rooms are spotless and nicely furnished. Right across the street is an excellent grocery store. Totally pet friendly motel and one of the few such in the entire area. An excellent... More

A place to remember that allows you to have dogs. My husband and I were on a lighthouse search and decided to stay here because we only got to see the lighthouse in the dark and wanted to see it in daylight. So this place received good reviews so we tried it. Very friendly service. The bed was very comfortable.... More

My husband and I started staying at Cape Pines once we got our first dog almost 6 years ago. We love that we can bring him along. The owners are very friendly and have worked hard to revitalize this motel. The rooms are always clean and there's never a hint that another pet has been there. There is a nice... More
