We have been staying at the Pony for severals years. One lady at the front office is very nice. Another is not so friendly. Hey, I know Ocracoke is laid back, etc, but there is a very 'who cares' attitude with some people there. Hotel itself was very clean, pool is great and the restaurant there has a great breakfast....

We come back to the "pony" every year with friends; usually stay 2-3 nights. The newer pool-side rooms are clean with enough room for our family of three. The rooms have the basics. Be sure to bring your own shampoo, lotion, etc. as they are not provided. The Location cound'nt be better. If you are looking for luxury, this is... More

We stayed at the Pony for two nights. The rooms are relatively small, but clean and well-kept. Some normal amenities were missing... Don't expect a hair dryer, shampoo, facial tissue or a coffee maker. The check-in clerk was very businesslike and humorless.... perhaps she had been through a bad day; but she was the same when we checked out. A... More

Located in great little town of Ocracoke in Outer Banks, NC. Easy to find. About a block from the beautiful inlet where the ferry terminates. Picked up some food at "Community Store" right along the inlet. Motel room has recently been remodeled and though it had two double beds, we also had a roll-away bed in the room which made... More

we had trouble deciding where to stay on ocracoke, having never visited before, went through all the various websites weighing up price, location, pool, reviews, etc finally deciding on the pony. We booked a second floor poolside room, and as mentioned on other reviews this isnt exactly poolside, but the small parking lot between rooms and pool is no problem... More

We stayed at this motel for two nights and had a great time. To be honest, we are used to chain hotels and I was hesitant to stay in a smaller, lesser known motel, but since that's all there is on Ocracoke, we didn't have a choice. We had a GREAT stay! We had a second floor room on the... More

We arrived on the ferry without having booked a room - this was our second choice and turned out to be fine for a one night stay. The room was simple, and very clean. The motel provides soap, but not shampoo. The layout was not well thought out - the towel rack is on the opposite side of the bathroom... More

My husband and I stayed at The Pony Island Motel for a long weekend. When we booked our trip, the only rooms available were the third floor suites, which turned out to be much more than we needed. The suites are quite large, with a small kitchen, queen sized bedroom with huge closet, living room with sleeper sofa, and bathroom... More

Date" Sept. 21-23, 2007 I was a little skeptic about going to the Pony Island Motel, after reading the reviews. So I gave them a call before hand to find out if it was true about their beds (I’ve had 2 back surgeries and do not need to be sleeping on a bad mattress) and if the bed linens were... More
