Family owned and operated, the John Yancey Oceanfront Inn is a spacious oceanfront hotel that’s tucked away along the Beach Road, but which is close to a host of central Outer Banks attractions, activities, and renowned sites. Visitors will be just a quick drive away from the Wright Brothers Memorial, two fishing piers, mini-golf and regular golf courses, and plenty of shops and restaurants, but will enjoy a relatively quiet locale where the ocean-facing beach steals the scene.
In addition to the easy beach access, additional perks at the hotel include access to the local YMCA fitness center, free Wi-Fi, and an inviting outdoor complex that boasts an outdoor pool, a playground for young vacationers, and a picnic area with grills and a gazebo for extra shade. Individual rooms are spread out across multiple buildings, and feature TVs with cable, small kitchenettes with microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffee makers, and subtle but coastal décor. Many rooms feature balconies with ocean views, allowing guests to step outside and enjoy those sea breezes anytime, and with the oceanfront just steps away, everyone will have an excuse to step in the sand. Delightfully located and accommodating, the John Yancey Oceanfront Inn is a fine choice for Central Outer Banks beach lovers.

This year, the Duck Jazz Festival proudly reaches its 16th anniversary, and with it, we unveil our artistic vision:“Duck Grooves: The Sound of Jazz,” is an electrifying celebration of jazz’s dynamic, ever-evolving nature, set against the stunning backdrop of the Currituck Sound. It’s a fusion of past, present, and future, where the timeless traditions of jazz intersect with the vibrancy of new, innovative sounds. Just as the sound of jazz flows and adapts, so too does the landscape of Duck where the rhythm of the music harmonizes with the natural beauty of the water and the surrounding environment.
