Cape Hatteras Motel

On Hatteras Island in Buxton, Cape Hatteras Motel is a beach-first property that keeps the stay simple and functional. The draw is direct Atlantic access, a spread of room types that range from classic motel rooms to kitchen-equipped suites and townhouses, and outdoor space that naturally turns into a meeting point for anyone traveling together. It fits fishing trips, multi-family beach weeks, and groups that want a dependable home base close to the Cape Hatteras shoreline.

Because the accommodations are varied, you can build a room block around how your group actually travels. Standard oceanfront rooms cover the basics for shorter stays and lighter packing, while efficiencies, suites, and townhouses give longer-stay guests a more livable setup. Several unit types include full kitchens, which makes it easier to handle groceries, early breakfasts, and quick meals without turning every day into a restaurant plan. For groups, that kitchen capability often becomes the difference between an easy week and a constant shuffle for food.

Outside, the property leans into the things people come to Buxton for: beach access, time in the sun, and space to reset between outings. A seasonal pool and hot tub provide a backup plan when the ocean is rough or when part of the group wants a break from sand. Anglers and boating crews will also appreciate that this is a place where the “catch of the day” reality is understood, with features like fish cleaning stations and a freezer setup intended for storing what you bring back.

When the itinerary includes a lighthouse visit, trail time, or a quick run into town for snacks, the location stays convenient. Cape Point and the surrounding Cape Hatteras National Seashore areas are close enough to keep the day moving without long drives, and Buxton’s small cluster of shops and casual stops helps groups fill in the gaps, ice, sunscreen, breakfast supplies, and last-minute essentials.

Engine.com can handle the booking and billing side when you are coordinating multiple rooms, multiple arrival times, or a longer timeline that may change. A block booking through Engine helps keep names, dates, and room types organized in one place, and Direct Bill is available if you want payment handled through a centralized workflow rather than individual travelers managing charges and folios.
