Simply Divine

Simply Divine has become our regular stop when traveling between Amelia Island, FL and Columbia MD. The quiet neighborhood and lovely old home is a comfort after a day on the road. Simply Divine is not only a great place to stay, but it is also a great value. Rob and Carmen are gracious hosts. They accommodate our breakfast requests and have even provided a birthday cake for a special occasion. We enjoy knowing that our stay at Simply Divine will always be a good one.

I am a frequent traveler to Dunn NC and decided to stay at Simply Divine for two nights. The innkeeper, Carmen was an excellent hostess and very sincere. The coral room was spacious and had its own thermostat which was great. There was plenty of hot water for late morning and evening showers. The stay was pleasant. The location was close to the I-95, antique shops, and restaurants. I enjoyed the stay and plan to return.

My husband and I drive from Florida to NY about once every two years to see family. Dunn, NC is about a 9 hour drive for us and just a few miles from I-95. Simply Divine is a welcome respite after all those hours on the road. Our experience with the big hotel chains along that corridor has been less than satisfactory lately. We think it is well worth the few extra dollars to spend the night in comfort at Simply Divine. The beds are soft and comfortable and there is plenty of hot water for a shower at the end of a long drive. Plus, it's a gorgeous home and you feel more like you are staying with family, only better because they're not ;) It's crazy to spend money to stay anywhere else!

We frequently make this charming inn a place to stay whenever we travel from FL to VA. Clean, elegantly comfortable with easy access to I-95. Breakfast is always terrific. Our hosts are "simply divine". Looking forward to our November visit! P & J Mc, Ormond Beach, FL

Wonderful experience - will be back. The owners are no nice and attentive. The food was outstanding, and the room very clean.

My husband and I decided to look for a Bed & Breakfast in lieu of the customary hotel off I-95 on our way South. Simply Divine B&B exceeded our expectations! So warm, inviting, charming and comfortable. Thanks Rob and Carmen for a wonderful treat!

Our stay was maevelous from being greeted by the owner the room was spacios and well appointed the bathroom clean and the towels fluffy. The breakfast was DELICIOUS. Carmen was a delight she spent alot of time helping us find things in the area and was a delight to talk to.

I wanted to surprise my wife with a getaway for our 5 year anniversary and I must say it was difficult finding one to fit our budget. I came across Simply Divine and I was very impressed with their packages and prices. I decided to give the Ultimate Celebration package a try as well included a couples massage which they organized for us in our room. The entire experience was very enjoyable, relaxing, and my wife was totally surprised and happy with the pampering we received. Carmen was a great host who was willing to cater to our every need! We would highly recommend Carmen and Rob to anyone desiring a great getaway in a beautiful house where every meal is scrumptious and the hosts are there to please!!

Traveling to and from Florida on I-95 is not a pleasant trip. Our night at Simply Divine provided a much needed dash of elegance and pampering. Our hosts were wonderful--sincere, kind, and generous. The food was delicious. The dinner for two was delicious--from the organic salad to the fudge cake! Definitely a bargain at $30.00 per couple and so nice to escape the noise and unpredictable fare along the I-95 corridor. The house itself is stunning--a true mansion. Should the opportunity present itself to stay overnight (or longer) in central North Carolina, just north of Fayetteville, do treat yourselves to this bed and breakfast. You won't be disappointed. And, best of all, they will accept a small, well-behaved dog for a nominal fee. Thank you Carmen and Rob! Dan and Cindy Lees, Newark, DE

We had a romantic weekend there inthe coral room during Memorial day weekend. Rob and Carmen are great. The dinner was phenomenal. The service was more than what we could ask for. My boyfirend and I loved every moment of the Romantic Retreat. This was our first time visiting a B & B ever. We plan to visit again.

I stayed in the Coral room and I will definitely stay again & again when I am back in the area. This was a great value and the french toast was the best. I enjoyed the warmest conversation with Carmen, the owner. I have told many of my friends who travel into the area as well to stay there.

Although our stay was brief (just one night), Carmen and Rob pampered us from the minute we arrived until the time we left. Our room was spacious and comfortable, the house itself exudes historic charm and grace, and our breakfast was delicious and filling. We definitely plan to visit again!

We had a most wonderful stay. Carmen and Rob are outstanding hosts and the place could not have been better. They responded to all of our needs and went beyond what had been expected. For example, they provided us with lunch and would not charge us for the lunch which was plentiful and good. The three course dinner for $30 for each couple was very good and a real bargain. We enjoyed talking to Carmen and Rob and would recommend this B&B to anyone traveling along 95. The rooms were comfortable and beautifully furnished. The house is an old impressive building in a nice setting.

Carmen and Rob provide unmatched hospitality, comfort, food and a beautiful home. What a value! I will never stay at those cookie-cutter hotels off 95 again when I can relax under the care of Carmen and Rob.

Husband and I found this lovely place via search on internet! We were not disappointed! Carmen our host was wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed! The breakfast was soooo delicious! I had an extra touch for my package deal which included roses in room, champagne, $50 gift certificate to local and delicious restaurant, chocolate, an appitizer plate and a delicious cake. Of course, that was what we wanted, you can just get the room and the hospitality, but for the price, you may as well go for the whole thing!!! I really loved the room, it was huge and soooo homey, that i really hated to leave!!! I give this place a 5 star rating!!! I will be back Mary and Bill Glenfield, NY

We so enjoyed our stay at the Simply Devine B&B. The inn keepers / owners Carmen and Rob are so gracious :-) As a history buff's, we enjoyed hearing about their Inn's beginning to present day. I found this inn while searching on your web site prior to leaveing for two weeks in Florida for vacation. I wanted to give my husband a "romantic surprise" on our way back home! "The Romance on a Shoestring" was just right. The room Carmen chose for us was "simply devine" :-) When we left the next morning, we told Carmen that we would be back again. We highly recommend this inn to all who like history and quaint towns; Dunn, North Carolina. Thanks for allowing us to leave our review :-) Eldersburg, Maryland

We found the Simply Divine B&B on our last night on the road of a 10 day road trip. Carmen was welcoming and saw to our every comfort. The house is magnificent! Our room was beautifully decorated, large and comfortable. Carmen and Rob, you are doing a great job as innkeepers. We will be back.

Our stay at Simply Divine definately exceeded our expectations. It's a beautiful home, and has a large pool with diving board. Our room was very nice. Bedding was superior. Our breakfast was absolutely delicious. Bountiful and of superior quality. The highlight of our stay! And the hosts, Rob and Carmen, couldn't have been more accomodating. The home is only 5 minutes off I 95, so it makes for a very pleasant alternative to a chain motel when traveling along the east coast. We highly recommend it. Tony and Kathy DAmico Melbourne, Fla.

We stayed at the Simply Divine bed in breakfast in Dunn for our 11th wedding anniversary. It is a new B&B and we were the 44th guests to stay. It is lovely. We arrived around 6pm and were shown to our bedroom, the Jade Room. We enjoyed a beautiful candlelit dinner for two in the dining room. Dinner was served on fine china with pretty silver chargers. It was perfect. We were served a fresh organic green salad, sweet potatoes grilled outside, and baked chicken. For dessert there was yummy pound cake with pecan crumbled topping served with ice cream and fresh strawberries. (We found out later that the hosts purchase all their food at the local farmer's market, so everything was fresh, locally purchased, even the eggs for breakfast). After dinner we went for a swim in the pool, just the two of us. We came back in and changed into pajamas and took our sparkling cider, wine glasses, chocolates, and a deck of cards out to the porch and played cards until it got a little too breezy. In the morning we chose to eat breakfast out on the patio. (We want a patio like this one)! We enjoyed our french toast made from homemade bread and our omelet made with feta, parsley, and dill. The B&B owners are very friendly, unobtrusive hosts. They were very willing to serve and be as present or absent as we wished. We want to go back again next year. It was wonderful and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quick and romantic weekend.
