About Us and Hatteras Island
Us
Cape Hatteras Bed and Breakfast is located on the corner of Old Lighthouse Road and Cottage Avenue. The building was built in the 1960's as a family motel and has been steadily upgraded and renovated since Hurricane Emily. Each room has a private entrance and bath, something that guests have appreciated as it provides more privacy and freedom than many bed and breakfasts, allowing guests to come and go during their stay.
Our rooms are named after famous hurricanes, Hugo, Gloria, Andrew, Camille..., and each has its own private bath, cable TV, small refrigerator, coffee pot with complimentary in-room coffee and tea set-up, and most rooms have a microwave. There are rooms with queen size beds, king size beds, two double beds, and an efficiency. All rooms have private entrances, so you are free to come and go for a moonlit beach stroll, or after a late dinner. We have lockable surfboard or sailboard storage, and complimentary beach towels, bicycles, beach chairs, coolers, and beach bags.
The property is decorated with flowers and herbs that have been nurtured for years. You will be amazed at the large palm tree in the front yard, and entertained, during nesting season, by the purple martins in the bird house in front of the B&B. We have two cats and a parrot and they are not allowed into the guest rooms. They are confined to the common areas.
Amenities include a sundeck with comfortable tables and chairs. Porches are in front of the rooms so that you can spend more time outdoors, sit and dust off the sand, relax, and enjoy the weather. You may choose to use the gas grill on the deck, or simply relax, and contemplate which restaurants to explore.
