This bed and breakfast was well worth the money. Within an hour of being their you feel like you are in an oasis, and all your problems slip away. I can't wait to go back.

We just honemooned here a week ago and it was a blast! Love the area but especially loved RelaxInn. The room was perfectly done with a very comfortable atmosphere that made you feel like you hadn't left home. Eric and Margie provided great service, breakfasts, and tips on what do and where to eat. I'd tell anyone to go there!

I booked the Relaxinn as a surprise 40th birthday party for my wife. I couldn't be happier with our choice! Margie and Eric were extremely accomodating and very hospitable. The accomodations were fantastic and the pool and hot tub were..........relaxing. The only time you need to drive is to visit some of the local attractions. The beach was a short walk across the street and there were several great seafood restaurants within walking distance. We would hope to be able to do this again in the very near future. Thanks Margie and Eric!

Wow- just returned to reality after a long weekend with Eric and Margie at the Relaxinn! I can not say enough wonderful things about our stay there. We felt not only welcome but pampered! The house had everything that you could possibly want while at the beach- great location (central to many attractions and mere steps from the ocean), private pool, private hot tub, beach gear, amazing food and a relaxing atmosphere! Margie and Eric went above and beyond on recommending restaurants (Sam and Omie's, Fat Boyz and Frog Island were all great) and activities! By far our favorite part was the birthday celebration/clambake on Saturday night. It was beyond our expectations from the food, drinks, dessert and decor. We will never forget our stay at the Relaxinn and will most definitely visit again!! Bill and Cathy Carroll

Eric and Marge provide you with all you need for a relaxing vacation. You can tour from there if you want to, go to the beach (short 2 minute walk) if you want to, or stay at their place--relaxing in your room, laying out on their house or pool decks, swimming in their pool, or getting into a good hot tub (great massaging tub). My wife and I found it just right for what we wanted to do while at the Outer Banks. Plus Eric and Marge can give you some local knowledge--beaches, restaurants, etc.--that will be very helpful with your stay. I highly recommend staying with them!

My husband and I decided to take a spur of the moment getaway. We chose the Outer Banks because we wanted to go hanggliding. It was early in the season and we were fortunate that the RelaxInn had availablity - especially after we saw the Comfort Inn we had considered as it was practically falling into the ocean! We arrived after a long day of traveling and were met by Margie and Eric. After a thorough tour of the house and lots of suggestions on how to utilize all the wonderful sitting, viewing, relaxing options - we were shown to our room and it was perfect. We stayed in the Birds of Paradise Suite for the first 3 nights of our stay, then moved to the Bodie Island Light Room for the last 2 nights. The Suite was spacious with a separate sitting area and a large, recently updated bathroom. My favorite sunset viewing point was Margie & Eric's rooftop deck with some takeout and a bottle a wine. The breakfasts each morning were delicious and being able to eat outside every morning enjoying the fresh air was wonderful. The afternoon snacks were also perfect - delicious fresh fruit, homemade hummus, etc. The location of the RelaxInn was perfect - close enough to walk to a few restaurants, a grocery, 7-11, ice cream, etc. - the beach was steps away and the RelaxInn provided anything you could need - chairs, a cooler, towels, etc. Margie and Eric are new to innkeeping though you wouldn't know. It seems like they've been doing this for years. They are very thoughtful and accomodating - able to provide directions, suggestions and advice, but they aren't intrusive. We were very comfortable - coming and going as we liked - relaxing in the hot tub at night or going for an early walk along the beach.This trip was just what the doctor ordered and it was difficult to return home.

Relax inn as a great beach B&B. A unique find in Nags Head, NC. Eric and Margie treat you like personal guests of their home. Breakfast is delicious. They provide clean, comfortable, thematic rooms and spotless grounds. The pool area is private and the Jacuzzi is fabulous. Every detail is cared for. They provide beach chairs, umbrella, bikes for guests to borrow and great suggestions for local sites and restaurants. The home is within walking distance to a few restaurants and just across the road to the beach. Many great local sites are within 10 miles away.

My mother and I stayed here for her Birthday, and everything was perfect. The couple was extremely kind and very generous. The house was beautiful and close to the water. The couple had everything for us to entertain ourselves and provided a lot of good information on recreation and activites around the area. The view from the look out was stunning and the hot tub was the perfect end to a relaxing day. I would reccommend this bed and breakfast to couples and families looking for a relaxing vacation.

My husband and I had the pleasure of spending our 4th of July weekend with Margie and Eric at their beautifully decorated, clean and cozy B&B. Each of their guest rooms have a different theme, so you're able to choose the room that is most aesthetically pleasing to you. You have the comfort of home yet the privacy of a hotel room (private bathroom, mini fridge, TV w/DVD player, and comfortable bed). The rates were very comparable to other hotels in the area for the holiday weekend, but in our opinion, the value exceeded any other place of stay b/c of all the added amenities. We were able to use their bikes to tour the beach, or swim in the pool with the option to plug in our own ipod into their music system, or relax in the jacuzzi at night with the mood lights. Coming from a tourist town ourselves, we wanted to be able to enjoy the beach without too much of a crowd. The location of RelaxInn was the perfect weekend getaway b/c it wasn't swarming with tourists-something about being between the beach and the sound-Eric can explain it better. Even though we had some seclusion, we were still close enough to local attractions. We were able to go hang gliding at Jockey's Ridge State Park just a few miles down the road and schedule some kayaking. We also ate at some great restaurants thanks to the recommendations provided by our hosts. We learned a little something about shopping for seafood, since Eric had to find the perfect clams for the 4th of July Clam Bake...YUM. That's right...a Clam Bake...as though the omelets, french toast, and afternoon snacks weren't enough-smile-. The highlights for me - my husband became a coffee and seafood lover over that weekend thanks to the experience and know-how of Eric and Margie. We loved every minute at RelaxInn and can't wait to return. Until then, we'll be missing the sun set over the sound.

The room was very clean, pretty, and romantic.Great conversation with Eric and Margie(Owners), felt like we were visiting family.

We have had several trips to the Outer Banks and are always drawn back to the Manteo area. This time, we decided to try a Nags Head location, and selected the RelaxInn. It turned out to be our favourite place to stay to date. Margie and Eric are wonderful hosts, who seem to have found the perfect balance of attentiveness and emmm..leave-you-aloneyness. Eric's omelets are fantastic, and since Graham doesn't like cheese and Mary doesn't like seafood and certain veggies, it was particularly refreshing that the omelets were made to order just for us. If you stay long enough, you must try Margie's Banana-nut french toast! The location is perfect for daytime excursions to Nags Head, Roanoke Island, and even to Hatteras. Eric and Margie are exceptional hosts, well-versed in the local attractions, and eateries, and one leaves with the feeling that one has spent time with good friends, and longing for a quick return. We can't wait for our next visit! Mary and Graham Layton

What makes this inn different? RelaxInn maintains a tranquil atmosphere. It is perfect for a writer, ideal for executives or individuals in stress related occupations, and wonderful for those in life changing situations. You can walk to the beach or stroll to nearby restaurants. Within minutes you can drive over to play miniture golf or attend the outdoor play of "The Lost Colony". Margie and Eric are fantastic innkeepers with their creative Stuffed French Toast and Island Omelet. They are punctual and give attention to every detail. They even go beyond the expected. Together with my sister they carefully executed a surprise birthday party for me. The idea originated from Margie and Eric. Eric will inform you of the local history and best restaurants. Margie will keep you comfortable with snacks and supply the cozy atmosphere. Make sure to check out her arts and crafts. Together they listen attentively to your journeys through life, or they will respect your wish for solitude. I especially enjoyed their rooftop observation deck and watched the full moon rise over the water. It was breathtaking! Worth every penny, this inn lives up to the name. My sister and I plan to return to this bed and breakfast. It was my first time at a B & B. We made two new friends, Margie and Eric.

The first person I met with a winning smile was Eric. He gave a thorough orientation about the Inn and opened the door to a beautiful room called the Bodie Island Room. Margie was so gracious and creative. I later learned that the decor of the Inn had been done by Margie with the assistance of Eric. I was treated each morning to either an Island Omelet (prepared by Chef Eric) or Margie's Stuffed French Toast. The pool was very comfortable with all kinds of "pool toys" to play with. At night climbing up to the observation deck was a treat! I could see the ocean (complete with a full moon), the lights of Nags Head, and from a distance the lights of The Lost Colony. During the day, the beach was a "hop and a skip" away from the Inn. What I treasure the most from my relaxing getaway is the friendship of Eric and Margie. Both of them are gracious, accomodating, and caring. I plan to return in the future for another "relaxing getaway".

I highly recommend visiting the Outer Banks, NC - staying in Nags Head, and having the blessed experience of being in Relax Inn's wonderful establishment. The hosts (Eric and Margie) were most kind, spoiled their guests, and were more like old friends and family. The breakfast was remarkable (tasty and filling), and throughout the day their appetizers tie you over almost to the point of only needing one or two meals saving you $$$! They were very flexible, and welcomed us with cheese/crackers and beverages as we ventured from a long journey/traffic into the Outer Banks (I advise avoiding this during the 'rush' hour to avoided 4 hour waits). Their home was super clean and cozy. They provide great guidance/direction while venturing around the islands, and have patience/invest time into guiding you around to places such as Okracoke (they even went with us on their off day and drove on their off day, truly a treat, rarity, and treasure of memories!!!). Their name lives up to their experience, truly a "Relaxinn" time. I hope you have the honor and pleasure of experiencing the Outer Banks in style, affordable price, and premium quality with Eric and Margie at RelaxInn 252.441.2202, and this is not PR/marketing stunt, they truly earned it!!! Feel free to verify with me as well - if you go to NC/Outer Banks, stay there (as they are centrally located, near shops/businesses, and you can get to other spots with your wonderful hosts willing to be kind/generous with their time and service!!!).

When we arrived we were greated by Eric who made us feel right at home. Margie was out of town until the next day. The pictures of the residence were exactly like the ones on the website. Eric was extremely attentive. There was fresh fruit and cheese and crackers upon our arrival. Breakfast the following morning was made by Eric who specializes in island omlets. They were wonderful along with fresh fruit and juices. We met Margie the second night of our stay and she was as delightful as Eric. We would highly recommend the RelaxInn and plan on returning whenever we return to Nags Head. We felt like we had made friends by the time we left.

My husband and I celebrateed our 19th anniversary at relaxinn. We were amazed at how wonderful and convenient our stay was. Not only was relaxinn conveniently located to EVERYTHING,practically, but it was also very convenient because it had a very well taken care of inground pool, as well as a hot tub and to top it off breakfast was perfect. The couple taking care of Relaxinn are wonderful and personable people as well as very helpful and informative of the local attractions. Staying there far surpassed our expectations!

My husband and I came down on the last weekend in May, 2008 just to get away. This was our first stay in a bed and breakfast so we were a little nervous. Once I spoke with Eric on the phone I was immediately at ease. He and his wife are two of the nicest people we've ever met. They were fun to be around but at the same time they let us be alone too. They bent over backwards to make sure that we had everything we needed no matter how silly the request. Eric is even a rather skilled spider killer. The hot tub is very nice with tons of different jet configurations and contoured seats. The pool is great with music and lights wired in. The view from the top deck is great and the location is convenient, just blocks from restaurants and attractions. The rooms are all neat and clean and serviced daily. All have their own little theme and their own entrances. Breakfast was served whenever we were ready even if it was a little past their listed time and the island omelettes were awesome. The afternoon appetizers were a treat with some really great cheeses and hummus with crackers and fruits. Not just boring stuff. You can tell these people have a lot of class. There are lots of historical sites very nearby like Roanoke island (the lost colony) and the bodie island lighthouse. Some quaint little shops all around too, and Tanger outlets nearby. Put simply, we had a fabulous time and having a nice comfortable and peaceful place to come back to after our adventures made all the difference. We would stay with them again and again. We are already trying to find a reason to go back and try out some of the other rooms. We highly recommend the RelaxInn to anyone who is looking for a less structured more relaxed place to spend some lazy days or some romantic nights.

This place is a great find. Although they have been open a very short time, I have already visited twice. The rooms are beautiful, each with its own private access to a beautiful hot tube, and huge pool. Very private. Atlantic Ocean right across the street. The owners take great pride in presenting you with all the comforts. The afternoon drinks and appetizers are wonderful. The breakfast has everything, fruit, breads, juices, and above all the best back fin crab omelet I've ever tasted. This is my home away from home. Any room that is available will suite me just fine, because they are all beautiful.

Being our first b&b getaway, my husband and I very much enjoyed our weekend stay at RelaxInn. The property, a charming beachhouse converted into a b&b, is beautiful and lovingly maintained. Our room, the Birds of Paradise, was immaculately decorated with mild tropical theme. The gracious hosts and owners, Margie and Eric, were warm and attentive, like the neighbors you'd always want living next door. The afternoon snacks were delicious and tastefully presented. Breakfast was leagues beyond the ho-hum continentals available elsewhere. RelaxInn gave us a pleasant first b&b experience and we look forward to any occasion to stay there again.
