“Advice 5¢, a bed & breakfast” has been referred to in travel guides as a “seaside haven,” featuring a signature ship’s watch and distinctive coastal cottage elements. As is typical on the Outer Banks, the house was built to capture panoramic views and designed for guest comfort, with abundant common areas located on the uppermost level. Common areas feature a wood burning fireplace, wet bar and ice maker in the great room, hardwood floors in foyer, hallway and dining room, juniper ceiling accents and wainscoting in addition to maximized natural lighting. A covered front porch and ocean breeze deck allow for the enjoyment of outdoor space. All guest rooms are appointed with private baths & decks, cable television, and iPod docks. Additionally, on site outdoor showers, ample off street parking, and wireless Internet service all add to guest convenience. Guests at Advice 5¢ also have access to neighborhood tennis and swimming pool.

Advice 5c has everything you could wish for - great hospitality, wonderful breakfasts, amazing views of the ocean and the sound; it is spotlessly clean and we have had many wonderful vacations based at this B & B.

May 17, 2009
We have our own balcony, overlooking the dunes. We can walk to the ocean or to the sound. We have come to know Duck and to hold Advice 5 cents in our hearts as our own special place to cool our jets in the middle of a busy summer.

May 14, 2009
Being a seasoned traveller, I found Advice 5 cents to be a great discovery . The location is perfect-close to sea and sound and charming shops. The B&B was exceptionally clean, the made from scratch baked goods delectable and the innkeeper was delightful.

May 14, 2009
Where would we be without Advice 5¢...? Once again, Nancy & Donna ensured that our stay at Advice 5¢ was an enjoyable and relaxing escape from the everyday Northern Virginia rat race. We are always made to feel so at home, our needs are always met, and advice is always available when requested, for a nickel of course. From unique breakfasts, to provided towels and chairs for the short walk down to the beach, to in home massages...Advice 5¢ is ever so accommodating. When we visit, we are always reminded what life is all about. Matt & Meahgen Fargo - Haymarket, VA

5 out of 5My advice? Don't stay anywhere else.
May 14, 2009
What a beautiful, bright and sunny inn. The perfect place if you're looking for a relaxing stay in the Outer Banks. The rooms are immaculate, the breakfasts are exceptional, and the innkeepers are a delight. Take my advice, it's THE place to stay in Duck.
4.8 out of 5Best B&B
May 14, 2009
The rooms are super clean and the location of the B&B is perfect for beach lovers.
5 out of 5Peace and fun and incredible breakfasts
May 13, 2009
That's what you'll find at Advice 5 cents. The innkeepers are personable -- there to present you with a KILLER breakfast, but not in your way -- ever. "Advice" (as those who visit every year call it) is open and airy -- immaculately clean -- and filled with joy. The library is immense -- books are available to you so that you can just plop down on the porch and get immersed in something wonderful that has NOTHING to do with whatever you left behind. It's a gentle, relaxing, tasty vacation at a place that you'll want to revisit. Stand in the Watch and you can see both the sound AND the ocean. (And shopping is just a few steps away, although you'd never guess it!) Can't say enough about this special place. Trust us -- you'll love it. -- Rick and Alison Chesapeake, VA

May 13, 2009
The location is key, right where you want to be. The B&B is close to all the shopping you could want, yet nestled into a terrific neighborhood setting for privacy when you want it and beach time when you need it! The proprietors couldn't be more attentive, friendly and welcoming; feels like home. The rooms and space are impecable, cleaner than anywhere we have ever stayed, and we are picky. Treat yourself, you won't be sorry.
