Quality of the hotel made up for less-than-perfect weather
Pros:

Had quite a bit of rain during our stay. Not a big problem, when your room is only a minute from the beach. Easy to run inside when it pours, then back to the beach when it stops. Also had the option for either indoor pool (and hot tub) or outdoor pool - all open, all clean and well-maintained. Breakfast was good. Staff were all very friendly. Good strong shower. Clean, comfortable room. A very nice stay.

Charming Seaside Retreat!
Pros:

I absolutely loved that I was mere steps away from the motel's private beach! My room was very comfortable and had all the amenities I expected. I especially liked that I could borrow a beach chair and return it (saved me from renting one!)! I would definitely recommend this property!

Cons:

Only a couple of things - the breakfast was only ok (although it was free, and the coffee was very good!). And I know the motel is called "Shutters," but I found the shutters in the room didn't block enough light in the morning! I guess room darkening shades would ruin the aesthetic, though.

We will be back!
Pros:

The breakfast was good with several different options. Loved the 24 hour coffee!
The beds were comfortable. The location right on the beach is excellent. The staff were friendly.

Cons:

The only negative was the steep walkway down the dunes to the beach and back up.

We had a wonderful time as always
Pros:

The breakfast is okay, but the room is too small for the amount of people.

Cons:

The only thing that could have made my trip better was to be able to stay for another week

I would love to stay again. It’s the perfect NC beachy room.
Pros:

Great location, loved the room, staff was friendly, and just steps to the beach.

Cons:

I can’t think of anything I didn’t like. We didn’t try out the pools but I’m sure they are great as well.
