During a visit to North Carolina’s Crystal Coast, Poncho and Lefty found themselves in need of a place to lay their heads on Atlantic Beach. As they drove, North Carolina Route 58 across the narrow strip of land that makes up the Bouge Islands, just south of the Outer Banks the pair happened upon the “Caribbe Inn”. 
The Caribbe Inn is a classic 1950’s era motel complete with neon lights, parking places directly outside of the guest rooms, and decorative concrete. The motel is painted with lively colors; pinks, teals, and oranges. Playful ocean-themed murals are painted in each room. Poncho and Lefty’s room featured a giant sea turtle over the bed and decorative swirls on the ceiling. The rooms are sparkling clean – especially the bathrooms.
At $54 per night in the off-season, a stay at the Caribbe Inn is a steal. Lefty’s only regret was that there was no wireless internet signal to be found at the Inn. The motel is located just across the street from the beach and backs up to an inland creek. It is a perfect location for fishermen with boat slips, a fish cooler, and cleaning station. For those not wanting to fish, you can enjoy the grill and patio area.
The friendly staff, creative décor, and reasonable price make the Caribbe Inn at Atlantic Beach, NC a Poncho and Lefty top pick!
