Nice place to stay

The decor is very nice and the grounds. Love that the pool went 8 ft deep. The breakfast bar was nice as well, similar to what some of the major hotels do. I will definitely stay here again.

Fabulous!

We stayed here last year and were happy to return this year. We were not disappointed. Great location, wonderful room, staff is friendly and quick to respond. Our air conditioning went out and it was replaced and working while we went out to dinner. We plan on staying here again next year and have already booked. Highly recommend!

This place gave me what I needed "relaxation". The room was ok, looks are deceiving in the photos it's smaller not alto of room, the bathroom was not cleaned the way I think clean their was dirt in corners, the mirror had something on it and the shower curtain was dirty.

Lovely Stay

Erica the girl at check in was so incredibly helpful. Continental breakfast was better than most. Although our room did not face the ocean, the beach was an easy walk and most beautiful!

Great little stay

The continental breakfast waffles were great! Everything was fully stocked. The bed was also great. The pillows were a little on the small side. Housekeeping was very helpful. Loved the pool!
Jonathan, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was clean but the room lacked a view and the walls were super thin as we could hear everything that was being said in the rooms on either side of us. We could easily access the beach but the many steps were difficult for those of us that have physical challenges.

Perfect Stay for a Family!

This is our second stay at the John Yancey and we absolutely love it! It is so conveniently located near all of our favorite OBX stops and you really can’t beat the property itself- settled right on the beach, beautiful gazebo overlooking the water, a playground, pool, cornhole, tons of outdoor seating! We really love all it has to offer. For being a “beach hotel”, this is one of the cleaner hotels we’ve stayed in the OBX (and we’ve stayed at a ton!). The front desk staff are so welcoming and helpful! This is the perfect stay for our family and we will be back again and again!
