    Wow!

    July 09, 2012

    With every turn of a new corner we were met with beauty, cleanliness, kindness, and hospitality! This Bed and Breakfast has so much to offer. It has a hot tub, pool, hammocks, private entrances, observation deck, bikes, and beach amenities. It is in a fantastic location between the sound and only 75 yards to the ocean. There are lots of great restaurants and site seeing attractions around. There's so much to do and see, we couldn't get to it all! Last but not least, Eric and Margie are so kind and genuine. They love to serve in any way they can. And man, do they serve wonderful breakfasts!

    Best Anniversary stay ever!

    June 27, 2012

    Wanted something special and laid back for our 40th anniversary. So we booked well in advance because of the wesite and previous reviews. Plus we love the ocean. This was our 1st time staying at a B & B. From our arrival to our departure 4 days later, we were treated like V.I.P.'s Eric & Margie served great breakfasts. Eric knew the area and attractions quite well and was able to offer many suggestions for exploring. The afternoon "happy hour" was a great treat. The room and location were absolutely the best. Very, very comfortable and clean. An intimate 3 room home but the privacy felt like you were alone at your own home. Bathroom was a bit small but meticulously clean and decorated. The location (for our likes) was awesome. South end of Nags Head so in the middle of going to Hatteras in the south or Currituck in the north. Our first time ever on the Outer Banks of North Carolina; our first time in a B & B. Wow! We will return to "RelaxInn" Thanks Eric, Margie!!!

    LOVED it!!!

    June 16, 2012

    This is a belated review - my husband and I stayed at RelaxInn July of 2011 and we absolutely LOVED it!! It's like as soon as you get there you feel totally relaxed. It's very clean and my husband and I still talk about it. We loved the pool and the hot tub, which is the nicest hot tub we've ever been in and so romantic with the tied-back, flowy curtains. We had such wonderful service from Margie & Eric - they are so welcoming and friendly!! We loved our stay and hope to get to stay at RelaxInn again!! Highly recommend this wonderful OBX gem :)

    B&B on the beach

    May 29, 2012

    Eric and Margie are excellent hosts. They give you the right mix of friendliness and privacy. You will enjoy their hospitality and forget that you are paying them. They make you feel at home. The property and location are amazing. The other reviews cover the high points pretty well. The property has a swimming pool, jaccuzi, observation deck, and very comfortable rooms. The location is within walking distance to the beach, a beautiful fishing pier, and several great restaurants. If you are up for an adventure, Eric has bikes for you to borrow. If you want a B&B on the beach, this is it. Book it if you can -- they only have three rooms!

    Wonderful Destination

    September 08, 2011

    My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and stayed at the RelaxInn for six nights. The accommodations were spotless and very comfortable, and Eric and Margie are the consummate hosts, making sure your Outer Banks experience is everything you imagined. The intimate nature of having only three rooms makes the Inn a great place for couples who want to truly get away. The amenities on site are formidable (pool, hot tub, GREAT breakfasts) and the surrounding area offers everything one could want for a beach-oriented outdoorsy location. I highly recommend the RelaxInn

    Perfect ending to a special trip

    September 08, 2011

    We came to celebrate my best friend's belated 40th birthday and her recovery from a year of breast cancer treatment. From the moment of booking the trip with Eric, it was a wonderful experience. He was most accomodating with our late late (or should I say "early early") arrival. He greeting us kindly at 1:30AM, gave us a quick tour and let us know of breakfast in the AM. The room was extremely clean (I'm a neat freak) and the home was beautiful. The breakfast was even more delicious then a great restaurant-Thanks Margie-you are such a great cook! We enjoyed our complimentary wine and loved the deck on the top of the house. Eric and Margie treated us like friends and added so much to a special best friend celebration. We will certainly be back! I'm telling all my friends and have shared my desire to return with my husband:) Best wishes to Eric and Margie for a great 2012 season!

    Famous Island Omelette
    The fluffy omelette is a refined version of an ancient food. According to Alan Davidson, the French word omelette came into use during the mid-16th century, but the versions alumelle and alumete are employed by the Ménagier de Paris in 1393. Rabelais (Pantagruel, IV, 9) mentions an homelaicte d'oeufs , Olivier de Serres an amelette, François Pierre La Varenne's Le cuisinier françois (1651) has aumelette, and the modern omelette appears in Cuisine bourgoise (1784).
