Our hotel has been tastefully decorated to pay homage to Alice G. Hoffman, who was a local resident as well as a world traveler. Alice Hoffman was Eleanore Roosevelt's aunt. Since Alice Hoffman didn’t have any children of her own, she transferred her 2,000-acre waterfront ownership along Atlantic beach to her Roosevelt family, who in turn formed the early development of Pine Knoll Shores. With our ideal location, guests can easily visit the most sought-after and iconic attractions on the island, Morehead City, and the historic town of Beaufort.
