Sea Monkey Hostel and Kite School

Top choice in Outer Banks


Located on a side road in a residential house, this super-friendly hostel has four comfortable basic rooms, and is one of the most inexpensive options in town. Welcoming host Mike also teaches kiteboarding (group lessons from $75). Guests have use of the lounge area and kitchen facilities, plus the hostel's free bikes – the best way to get around town.

Groups of up to eight people can rent out the whole house, if arranged in advance.
