Swell Motel
Was Gäste sagen
The motel is located in Buxton, NC, which is about 20 minutes north of Hatteras. The hotel is near many good restaurants and attractions. The motel is dated, but it looks to have recently been updated with new flooring, fresh paint, free wifi, and lots of electrical outlets to plug in electronics and chargers. The TV system is Roku-driven and includes Netflix. You can access other services you subscribe to by signing in, which is good to have during stormy weather days. Otherwise, why go to the beach to sit indoors and watch TV? The staff was very friendly and informative about where to go and what to do in the area. There is a hose for cleaning your vehicle after a day on the sand, or washing up after cleaning fish. The units are not kitchen-equipped, and the local restaurants are mostly not cooking up your fresh catch due to county health suggestions/regulations, so bring coolers to pack your fish home in. They have an air hose on a compressor for blowing up inflatables, or in my case, fixing a screw-damaged tire and reinflating it.

The staff is very friendly and polite, the rooms were basic (that was expected), we were in a pet friendly room., but the room was very clean and comfortable. The Swell motel has a nice gift shop on site, a pavilion setup as a cooking station with all you need to prepare yourself or family a meal, a nice fish cleaning station, an area for live music on Saturday evenings, an area for the little kids to enjoy, then they also have corn hole boards to use, horseshoe pits w/ the shoes, and bikes for you to use during your stay. Although we didn’t use it all, we liked what they did to the old Falcon motel, now Swell motel. We will definitely be staying again!! Plus they have all you need around you: restaurants, stores, gas stations and a bait shop just down the road and across from that is the entrance to the lighthouse/beach.

The room has lots of space, not cramped. Included are the use of bikes and my favorite, kayaks! You launch into a lovely channel. The grilling areas have excellent grills and set up is well thought out. There is a clothesline that is incorporated into the outside post, on porch, with colorful clothes pins! You can walk to restaurants, pizza, ice cream. A market (Connolly's) has everything you need. Very dog friendly! The staff at Swell are very helpful indeed!

My wife and I stayed here on our 1st visit to the Outer Banks a couple of years ago. It is easy to find and a nice location. It is and older property, possibly 70's. They were renovating some of the rooms back then. We stayed in one of the renovated rooms this time. The room was very nice, spacious, clean and comfortable. Plenty of storage space. It also had a mini fridge, microwave and I believe a coffee maker. There is an outdoor area to relax in with tables/chairs etc. and a swimming pool. The owners are very nice and helpful people. The motel also sits across the street from an awesome seafood restaurant called the "Diamond Shoals Seafood and Market". It is family run and they have their own fishing boat(s). Catch of the day specials. We have enjoyed both our stays at the "Swell Motel" on Hatteras Island and hope to make it back out there in the future.

No breakfast but coffee maker and coffee were great. Location was great just a short ways from the lighthouse. Tackle shops and restaurants and food stores are close.

This place is outstanding, a hidden gem. The rooms are large and clean. The owner is amazing. We used the bikes the kayaks listened to awesome music. Played in the pool, and the beach is a short distance away. If you want a family vacation where you feel like part of a community. This is It. She thinks of everything so her guests feel at home. We all loved it and are planning next year vacation.

Great location and the Swell had something for everyone. It was nice to be greeted when we checked in my name which you do not get at the big name hotels. Great team and you can buy gifts right in the lobby and one of the staffers is the artist Also an awesome Art Gallery is attached too My husband loved the free air and water to wash off his jeep and fill his tires back up and all in one place Will stay again!

The staff went out of their way to accommodate us. We were very late arriving and they made sure we could get in our room. Also because there was a tropical storm there the next day, we were not sure we would be able to get in the cottage we had rented because of flooding on the sound side. They were willing to help us out to stay another night if we needed to. We didnt have to stay another night but I so appreciate the way they were going to help us. We will stay here again.
