"We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay! Everyone was courteous and accommodating. Loved the location being on the Southern end...Breakfast each morning was wonderful and actually took us up to the 3:30 Social Hour with wine/snacks! The pool was very relaxing, as was the on grounds hammocks! Loved too, beach chairs were provided to use on the beach!! The veranda porch always had a breeze to relax in...I could go on & on! We will plan on returning! Food & drinks: Excellent breakfast and Social Hour wine/snacks"

"We checked out this morning after a three night stay. Our room was the Thomas Ellis. What an amazing stay, from the front desk , the young girl who helped seat us each morning for breakfast, the amazing food, the clean comfortable room, beautiful grounds and the sweet housekeeping staff who came by to check if we needed anything. We will definitely be back. Thank you again for making our anniversary celebration memorable ❤️"

"We love the First Colony Inn. We’ve stayed here several times and will definitely return. This historic inn has been restored and is truly a unique gem. It feels like you’ve stepped back in time to a more easy, relaxed way of life. The decks with rocking chairs and swings encourages relaxation and slowing down to really enjoy your stay. The wonderful breakfast each morning and afternoon wine and cheese hour are added bonuses. The grounds are beautiful with abundant flowers and gardens. Food & drinks: Great breakfast each morning and afternoon happy hour with wine, cheese, fruit, etc."

"I have been a repeat guest at the inn many times over the years. It is a great way to enjoy OBX if you don't have the time or number of people to rent a house. First Colony is much homier than a regular hotel. It has charm, great wrap around porches and beautiful gardens. All you need to bring are your shorts and bathing suit. They supply the beach chairs, beach towels and bicycles. They have a lovely swimming pool and are across the street from the beach. We love the delicious breakfasts and afternoon wine and snacks. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the place is very clean. I gave 4 stars for service only because I would like them to return to the pre-covid days of daily housekeeping in the rooms. They have a beautiful library but it closes at 6:00. This has been my only complaint over the years. This is the only shared indoor space and it would be great to hangout there in the evenings, especially when the weather is bad. Management said they have to lock up when staff leave for the day because the front desk isn't locked. That would be easy enough to change with a roll down panel. I noticed other gusts complaining about it too. It is a major drawback to the homey, relaxed feel to the place."

"The same every time we visit...The rooms are clean, the staff are amazing, and the view is beautiful 😍 Walkability: There's also a golf cart rental company right across the street from the hotel that are fantastic !!!"

"All things considered, this was a great place to stay. Our room was very clean and comfortable. It was conveniently located to restaurants and shops. It had a great view. Friendly service and easy booking over the phone. I would stay again. Rooms : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Location : 5/5 … "

"My friends and I absolutely love this place! "

"We loved our stay! If you are looking for a quaint quiet, very clean hideaway, this is it! The views of the bay was beautiful. We rode bikes they provided around town. And breakfast was delicious! "

"We had the best time at The Castle! Three girlfriends for a quick overnight getaway, the Harbor suite was perfect with three beds. Upon arriving we were greeted by a young man (we didn't get his name) that gave us a tour and made us feel right at home. The Castle was like stepping into a time capsule. We joked and called it "Grandma's house" and loved every minute of it. We had access to bikes and pool. The location is perfect for riding a bike anywhere on the island. The view from the rooftop deck couldn't have been better. Sunset was right after a little afternoon storm, the sky looked like a masterpiece! Do yourself a favor and do not miss the sunset from up there. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise. The same young man that greeted us at the front desk cooked eggs, bacon and grits. We ate in the formal dining room with other guests. We'll definitely be back to The Castle aka "Grandma's House" Thank you for your hospitality! "

"Great stay, this was our 4th stay at the castle. We'll be back for a 5th. Just live this B&B and the island. "
