Room was ok not the cleanest ( but building is older so maybe that has something to do with it) they have packed a restaurant, pool, local events and hotel in a small area. Staff was very friendly, good cookies and very greatful for snacks in room upon arrival. For the area it was probably good.

Pamlico Paradise

Very much enjoyed our time - the Staff are awesome; food is very good and plentiful. Only one negative note: the walls and floors are thin, so depending on how busy and how lucky you get with neighbors, and your tolerance for human noise, this may affect your experience.

Views are incredible. Service is even better. We loved every bit of this location. This is the perfect spot for couples, girls trip, peace and wellness. Whatever your looking for they have it. The staff is so friendly and warm. Breakfast was great and included in the room. Cannot say enough great things about the inn at Pamlico.

Island Time

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at The Inn on Pamlico Sound and would highly recommend it to visitors. We were able to quickly relax and unwind while taking in the beautiful view of the sound just outside our window. The inn features a pool, an excellent restaurant on site, a garden, a boardwalk, bikes, umbrellas, and many other amenities. Stay there and enjoy some island time!
