Formally the Falcon Motel, the Croatoan Inn offers the same great vacation experience and affordable accommodations.  We hope you will stay with us here in beautiful Buxton on Hatteras Island. The Croatoan Inn is the closest motel to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and Cape Point. We offer cozy motel rooms, two bedroom apartments and efficiencies all on the ground level. We have a swimming pool, fish cleaning tables, and a picnic area complete with grills nestled under large, shady Hatteras live oaks. Our motel is walking distance to the beach, several restaurants, shops, and a free park with tennis courts, skateboard park, and indoor and outdoor basketball courts. We do allow pets and, we have both smoking and non-smoking rooms. Please click on the video above to see what a majestic place the Outer Banks and the Croatoan Inn really are. We also have a free museum that covers Cape Hatteras history and is sure to take you on a  journey through time.
