"The food, scenery, accommodations, and service at the Inn on the Pamlico Sound are beyond compare. It’s difficult say enough about our fondness for Steve and his fabulous home, but we’ll try. The food is world class. We’ve enjoyed a magnificent Thanksgiving dinner as well as several exquisite summer evening meals in the restaurant (goat cheese encrusted filet with demi-glaze, shrimp & andouille sausage with grits, & mahi with asabi mayo). The crab bisque was over the top!! The breakfast is different each morning with selections ranging from scrambled eggs & bacon to frittatas with hollandaise, always included with fruit and a delectable baked item (chocolate chip scones, raspberry muffins). While we normally skip dessert, we never do at the Inn. Our favorite was the Hazelnut Grenache but everything has been simply delicious. Last but certainly not least, we’re sure to find our favorites and then some in the wine selection. Now, imagine enjoying all that delicious food while overlooking the sunset on the Pamlico Sound. We’ve taken many gorgeous sunset pictures from our spacious, private balcony and even watched a couple of sunsets from the pier after kayaking on the sound. Between the Sound and the lovely gardens and flowers, the Inn is surrounded by beauty and a sense of calmness. Hospitality at the Inn cannot be beat. Steve and staff are relaxed and everyone has a great sense of humor. Over Thanksgiving, we enjoyed watching a football game on the big screen in the theater room and even managed to find time to pick out a couple of movies from their great selection. Other amenities we enjoyed: pool, hot tub in room, and the rocking chairs on our deck. All the rooms are elegant and comfortable at the same time. Each is personally decorated and truly a home away from home. We can’t tell you our favorite room because we don’t want it booked up all the time but trust us when we say we could stay there for months on end. "
