"Thus was my first ever bed and breakfast, and I have to say that this was an excellent choice I made! I called in to make my initial reservation, and the young lady was so nice, and so helpful, so I figured that I made a good choice. Upon my arrival, the young man that was working in the front office checked me in, gave me my key and gave me a tour of the property, and all the information that I needed for my stay. The next morning was breakfast, and the young lady preparing the breakfast was truly such a nice person! I ended up leaving her a huge tip because the breakfast that she prepared was so good! I highly recommend anyone to stay at this bed and breakfast while you're on the Ocracoke Island. It's very convenient to all of the shops and restaurants. "

"Very nice spacious recently remodeled room. The bed was comfortable which is important to me. My grandson enjoyed the pool which was very clean & a nice temperature. The pool furniture was nice also. Did not see an ice machine & didn't ask if there is one. I would suggest that as an addition."

"It was a great experience. Made us love the OBX. Rooms are very clean and good size. Nice people all around, safety is no concern here. Nice decor. Nice pool and about 3 minute walk to a very nice stretch of the beach "

"This was our fifth year staying at the First Colony Inn, and, as always, our stay was perfect. The rooms are always very nicely appointed; the staff is always friendly; and the amenities are wonderful. There is no other place in the OBX where we stay now."

"A unique mix of country charm in a beach environment. We enjoyed our stay - loved the pool and the easy access to the beach. The breakfast was fantastic. "

"I LOVE First Colony Inn. I am old enough to remember when it was on ocean side. I still love it. It has period furnishings that seem just right. The porches take you to a grand era gone by. Stay here and just know Gatsby is around the corner. Beth and her staff are the best."

"Loved this place! Great location, amenities, staff, and the grounds are beautiful and well kept. Highly recommend!"

"We love staying at First Colony Inn. The staff, the rooms and the food is wonderful. This year was our 5th stay and far from our last! If you love a B&B feel to a hotel, this is the place to stay!"

"We really enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was wonderful on both days that we were there. We hope to return next summer! "

"Great location, everything was just as described. Only issue was someone smoking just outside their room two doors down even though signs posted no smoking with in 25 feet of the rooms. I would stay here again."

"This place is a hidden gem. Breakfast is alway free and a great way to start your day. The complimentary happy hour offers a wonderful charcuterie spread along with white or red wines. The whimsical nature of the manicured grounds are fun to examine and photograph. The pool, wrap around decks, rocking chairs, beach chairs, bikes and hammocks offer a variety of relaxation. Of course, the private access to the ocean is just a short walk to the beach. Staff are friendly and helpful. Alma was new to the resort but was a pleasure to meet. Not our first trip and we will be back again!"

"We checked out this morning from after a three night stay. Our room was the Thomas Ellis. What a truly 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 ❤️"
