Steps off Old Lighthouse Road in Buxton, near the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and the seashore beyond

Buxton, NC

About

Tower Circle Motel sits on Old Lighthouse Road in Buxton, close enough to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse that the street name gives away the neighborhood. Buxton is the village built around the tallest brick lighthouse in the country, and much of daily life here — the beach, the maritime forest, the handful of shops and restaurants — orbits that landmark and the stretch of shoreline it stands above.

What's Nearby

The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse grounds, a short distance up the road (the tower itself is currently closed for climbing due to a cast-iron bracket issue found during restoration)
Beach access, including ORV ramps onto the Cape Hatteras National Seashore for permit holders
Buxton Woods maritime forest trails toward Frisco

Buxton falls roughly in the middle of Hatteras Island's run of villages, with NC-12 as the only road linking it to Avon and the seashore to the north and to Frisco and Hatteras village to the south. It's worth checking road conditions before you travel, since the highway closes periodically during storms. Contact the property directly for current room details and rates.

We loved staying at Tower Circle! Hunter and Olivia are wonderful hosts. This was our second time staying and it was perfect for us. The updated rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable. We had a full fridge and small kitchenette which served our purposes well. Only recommendation is if you use a hair dryer to bring your own. I just embrace the beach hair while I’m in Buxton. The location is great with easy beach access and close to ramps to drive on the beach for fishing and fun. They have an outside grill, hose and shower if needed. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for an affordable, low key, laid back beach vibe - perfect for couples or small families. There are connecting rooms for bigger groups.

We have visited Tower Circle for the last four years as our family vacation. What started as a weekend get away, quickly turned into one of favorite traditions. Watching our daughter grow up here and creating special family memories and memories with the owners, Hunter and Olivia, has been a blessing. Their heart and passion for people is evident in how they do business and the atmosphere they create here at Tower Circle.

We had to get a last minute booking for one night and Tower Circle was so welcoming and helpful! We were able to have our pets and the room was immaculate and the airconditioning kept us cool! Will definitely be back for a longer stay!
