Stayed for 2 nights here when I ran the Nags Head 5K. Price was great, as was the location - definitely a no frills place, but was clean and comfortable. Bathroom was a tad small for two adults, but didn't really mind since spent most of the time outdoors. Loved the beach front access! Would definitely return! more

My wife and I stay at the Beacon every summer in the oceanfront section. We have always been happy with the owners/staff, cleanliness, etc. The Beacon is a throw back to what a beach hotel used to be, which is one of the reasons we stay there; being able to walk out of our room and 15 feet later be... more

First of all, I am very disgusted by my experience at the Beacon that I will never stay there again. In fact, I will never go back to Nags Head, NC ever. My girlfriend and I returned to the room Saturday around 2pm after spending the day sight seeing and doing a little cycling to find a group of guys... more

This was such a great motel, and I can see why most the people that go book a year in advance. The oceanfront rooms are great, you walk out your door to a deck that is right on the beach. Very few hotels are this close. The rooms also have fridges/microwaves, which really come in handy when staying for a... more

My boyfriend and I went through the AAA book and called different hotels looking for the best deal. This place was the best deal for a week. When we got there was very pleased with the room, pool, picinic area. We only had to walk up a ramp and was on the beach. We had such a good time, we... more

Beacon Motor Lodge is wonderfully nostalgic. Back to the simple life of relaxing at the beach. If you enjoyed family vacations in the 50’s and 60’ when you were a kid you will love this place. Yes, the bathrooms are small. But, how much time do you plan on spending in the bathroom? While we were there in September 2007... more

We've been vacationing on the Outer Banks 2-3 times a year for the past 12 years, and The Beacon is our favorite motel. We spend a week in a cottage, then when we just can't bear to leave, stay an extra night or two at a motel on the beach. Due to our last-minute search for a room we have... more

First impression was not a good one - lobby had a strange odor. Ice machine did not work. Bathroom was very tiny. Shower had a fixed facet with a trickle of lukewarm water. Room was 1950ish. Not worth the charge. Glad it was only one night we were booked in for. more

Made a reservation and could not make it. Called them and Clyde indicated I could carry a credit for the next time I wanted to stay there. Called back to make the reservation and Robin said too bad, you didn't use it, our books are closed !!! So they gladly took my money, provided no service, it didn't cost them... more
