Cypress Moon Inn

If you're looking for a hidden, private getaway on the beautiful Albemarle Sound (a lake teeming with river otters and other wildlife), surrounded by forest with free kayaks and bicycle amenities, this is your paradise home away from home. They have Tesla chargers right in front of the inn, which is a godsend as there aren't many EV chargers in OBX. The view from the swinging chairs on the deck is priceless. If you want the typical beach town vibes, then you can just bike/drive 10 minutes right across the street, too! This is a great location in Kitty Hawk near a Food Lion, Walmart, Harris Teeter, and (my personal favorite) Cosmo's Pizzeria. I came to the inn during one of the most difficult times of my life, dealing with personal health issues and a close family member being hospitalized. On the first day of my stay, Greg welcomed me, and after a friendly conversation, I mentioned I was hungry and would enjoy the muffins and fruit left on my table. I probably looked like I was going through a very hard time because less than 30 minutes later, Linda came knocking on my door with a fruit tart slice and packaged waffle treat saying she heard I was hungry. It was so uplifting. Throughout the rest of my stay, Greg and Linda checked in on me and treated me like I was their own family. I also asked to use one of the free kayaks, and Greg took photos and videos to send to me even when he never had to. I can't tell you how life-changing this experience has been for me at a time when I needed it most. I have never experienced such warmth and kindness from any place I have stayed, and I have traveled to Korea, Japan, and both coasts of the US. They say a sick person only wants one thing, and that's to be healthy. I genuinely felt healthier being here with such a kind and warm couple while being surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the property. Cypress Moon Inn is truly my home away from home, the brightest gem I have ever been blessed to discover, and I will come back here for as long as they will let me. 💖
