    A solid 4/5. Though the hotel is 20 years old, the lobby and rooms have clearly been refreshed…read morerecently. It's very pretty and well decorated. The staff were professional and pleasant. Great location too! A couple things worth mentioning though. Our room was very damp. And not just a little humid (we lived in FL for 15 years so we understand humidity), but like our clothes felt wet when we put them on and paper gift bags were soft. We actually turned off the air and opened the slider to air the room out a couple times. If I had to take a stab in the dark, there's likely a serious mold issue behind the walls. There was mold growing on the AC unit. Another thing about the area in general (not just the hotel)...flies. Be prepared to have them tag along with you EVERYWHERE. They were in every restaurant we went to, by the pool, at the beach, in the gym, in every store. It was the most bizarre thing. Just everywhere. Also, I didn't realize how dog friendly this hotel was. We have two dogs and love them, but our room clearly had a dog in it previously with signs of hair on the AC unit and in the carpet. I wish we'd have brought our own pillows as the ones in our room were down pillows and even with 2 of them, they still fall flat. Overall, the location, price, service, and amenities were totally fine but those things like the room being super damp, the flies, and pet hair were just little nuisances that I think people should be aware of.

    Overall, we had a good stay, but there were a few things that could be improved…read more The hotel looks a little outdated, but the highlight was definitely the view of the beach from the outdoor pool. It was beautiful and very relaxing. Both the indoor and outdoor pools were warm, which we really enjoyed. The only downside was that there were hardly any towels available at the outdoor pool. We booked the last available room for the day and were pleasantly surprised with complimentary breakfast vouchers. Unfortunately, after using the vouchers, I checked my account the next day and noticed I had still been charged for breakfast, which was disappointing. The room itself was comfortable. The pillows were soft, the blankets were warm, and we slept well. However, there was one large bug flying around the room, and I have no idea where it came from, which was definitely unpleasant. Overall, we enjoyed our stay because of the pools, beach view, and comfortable room, but a few issues--especially the breakfast charge and the bug in the room--kept it from being a perfect experience.

    I went to this place since I was born I am 9 years old this year my grandma came she stayed at 11a…read moreI stayed 11d and 10c 1 once I checked in the front office was beautiful the served free popcorn. The room is very pleasant a whole kitchen with 1 bedroom 1 bathroom 1 living room and a marvelous pool side view. You have a tv this year we watched the FIFA World Cup. You also get a free beach access you have to bring your own chair. Or you have to pay for the beach. The ocean had no jelly fish. And the waves were massive I got knocked down twice. I will really recommend this place for people in the east.

    The location is unbeatable--some of the best waterfront property in the Kill Devil Hills area…read more Being right on the beach is the highlight and truly makes the stay worthwhile. That said, the property is showing its age. The units still have outdated Dish TV service, and the curtains are faded and dated. Most of the furniture is cloth and overdue for replacement. The area rugs are also a concern--they seem a little smelly and retain sand, which makes them feel less than clean. Maintenance and management have noticeably declined. It's frustratingly hard to get in touch with someone when you need assistance. In short, you're paying for the location and ocean access, but the interiors and upkeep need serious attention. With some investment in updates and better guest service, it could return to being a top-tier beach property.

Plus there's a dining area and living room. Nice full balcony outback with a great view of the ocean. Wonderful breeze out the front but none of the windows worked to let the air in from the front. Only one of the elevators work. Some of the lights don't work. The living room TV has gone bad and often displays the programming as a negative image or mostly green in color. Side of the refrigerator has good amount of rust. The icemaker didn't work. The showers had decent water pressure and they have nice soap products. The food at the restaurant was good. The crabcake was good portion and tasty and the vegetable medley had excellent flavor. I was overcharged when I arrived for what my confirmation said. Hopefully that has been straightened out with my bill when I check out. There was an issue with the elevator the one morning as the employee said it wasn't working. This other lady who looked like a manager, was asking other guests about the elevator. When I told her that is your employee with the supply cart and he's been standing at the elevator and it's not working. She's responded to me saying "I don't know him. I don't know what's going on. I don't know about another elevator. I'm new here. This is my first day." Really? You start your first day on Easter Sunday and you had no training? There is another elevator, but apparently that's been out of order for many months. Thankfully, the employee with the supply cart was able to get the elevator back working quickly Lots of available parking in the open lot We consider staying again, but likely will try another place

    Exceptional Hospitality & Beautiful Resort!…read more Shutters is a beautiful, clean property with everything you could want for an Outer Banks getaway! The oceanfront location and easy beach access are fantastic, and the outdoor pool area is amazing with plenty of comfortable seating. They also have an indoor pool, hot tub, and a great hot breakfast. But the true standout of our experience was Kira, one of the supervisors. Her kindness and hospitality were absolutely unmatched. She went above and beyond to make my son and me feel welcomed and cared for, and her genuine warmth made our experience so much more special. Kira is truly an asset to Shutters! Samantha at the front desk was also incredibly kind and helpful. We were so impressed by the beautiful property and, most of all, the people who made us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Shutters to anyone visiting the Outer Banks!

There is a back terrace that has seating in the spring,…read moresummer & fall, but we were here in the winter, it was also very cold so we didn't make full use of the outdoor space. We did, however, use the walkway to the beach! Yup, you are only steps away from the beach! This is quite the bonus! The room is so quiet you won't hear your neighbors! The beds are very comfortable & warm! We can't wait to come back in the summer!!

Best is the location, right on the ocean! Can't get better than that! Each room has a refrigerator, electric stove, coffee maker and ironing board and iron. I'd def come back and stay here and so should you!! Hands down a great stay!

    Stayed here for a week; beginning of September 2026. Great…read morelocation. Right across the street from the Kill Devil Grill. And also, right down the street from Cook Out (which I love), a Brewery, and a short walk away from a Pizza and Ice Cream Place. The Oceanfront Gazebo was really nice, the beach wasn't crowded, and the pool was also nice! I appreciate the updates they have done to the place overall. My BF who loves free hotel breakfast, was disappointed that their breakfast spread didn't including hot foods like; eggs and bacon or sausage. The closest thing they had was a prepackaged breakfast sandwich you heat up in the microwave, which in his words "isn't the same". However, they did also have a waffle maker. Sidenote: I do wish there was a vending machine in the four seasons building. Complaints/Suggestions: The shower in our room only had a fixed glass wall, that only covered half of the entrance to the shower. (No tub) Which, I mean it's not my house, not my flooring lol but that caused a lot of water to splash out and get into the main bathroom floor. Which is just a poor design choice by someone; in my opinion they need something to completely block the water from getting out while you shower. Next, our balcony light didn't really work. Just flickered a lot. In addition to lighting issues and it only really happened 1 or 2 nights during our stay. But the main room light & fan is controlled by a remote thing attached to the wall. After turning off the light one night, while lying in bed, it turned itself back on. Then would flicker or like turn on and off a few times in a row. Not a big deal, but annoying lol This went on for about 5 to 10 minutes before we turned off the 'main switch' on the remote and that main switch turns off the light and the fan. Lastly, I do think the hotel was pretty clean and our room was clean. However, our last night we did see a roach on the ceiling. We ended up losing track of it while trying to get it outside. But then during a 2am bathroom break my BF saw either the same one or a different one on the bathroom floor. Again, we didn't see any all week, just the last night soooo Idk how to judge that. The roach brings me to 3 stars but without it, it would be 4 stars.

    Our party of 6 , 4 adults and 2 children found ample room in this rental house…read more The house was clean upon entering, with nice amenities of basic home furnishings and kitchen utensils. Be sure to bring extra TP. Only one roll per bathroom. Parking for 3 cars max, one in garage, one in driveway, and one in the designated parking spot. I did see a beach wagon , skim board, extra tank of propane and a few other odds n ends in the garage. This is a nice community with like rental housing with houses painted in a beach color theme. You do have a easy access drive up area to dispose of your trash. Overall nice accommodations. Not a gated community and as I was loading up to leave , a older van started up next to me in the parking spot. It was loud( no muffler ) and the fumes were pointing right at me from the exhaust pipe. As I was coughing, I went up to the window to ask if they could turn off the engine till I was finished. Too my surprise, I seen two guys smoking, not pot but crack. They were startled and I asked them to turn off the engine it was choking me out with the exhaust. They must have spent the night in the van because I did not see anyone get in it while I was loading up my SUV. They did turn off the van, it had a name of a Church from VA on the side. Then they turned it on again and too off. Good. Like I said it was not a gated community. Also a problem with communication: No Phone number for company , no answer for the number on Yelp and no voice mail. I found and cleaned black mold from the bathroom. The gas grill did not light, the HVAC filter was filthy, should have been changed a few months ago. No number to communicate with owners, unable to resolve any problems. Otherwise it was a ok place to stay.

It was difficult getting my 10 month old son to sleep through the marching band and announcer...the game ended around 10:30pm. - No clear instructions for check in. We drove around for an hour once we got there trying to find a check in office. Here's a tip - there is no check in office! You call and check in over the phone and the office gives you the passcode to the house. Apparently they are supposed to email you with this info the day before, but since I booked through Expedia they did not have my contact info. A little frustrating to start our vacay that way. All in all I was very impressed with the value and we will likely return!
