“Delightful off season vacation.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2012 via mobile

We decided to try Ocacroke in off season.This room is an efficiency and is a wonderful bargain. It is clean and looks new. The owner is very nice and accomodating, and did not demand an advance deposit, or a commitment for a certain length. We ended up staying 5 nights. It is the most laid back vacation we ever had. The wind can be cutting in the late fall/early winter, but we enjoyed dressing warmly and beachcombing, and eating in the couple of restaurants that are open.

“good value, spacious accommodations”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

We stayed here this past weekend after not finding anything that looked worthwhile in the B&B category. It turned out to be a pleasant experience. The front desk person was helpful. The room itself was very large, with small frige, microwave, coffee maker, etc. and two queens. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the price -- about $100 -- didn't seem out of line for Ocracoke at this time of the year. We rented their bikes for a few hours @ $2/hr.

“Close to the village and restaurants!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

Traveled with another couple to Ocracoke. We've been many times to the isalnd and always ate breakfast adjacent to the hotel but first opportunity to need a room on the island. Room was very spacious with amenities one would need, ie. microwave, fridge and table to sit and eat if needed. Very clean and comfortable.Prices were reasonable. Highly recommend!

“No complaints!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 25, 2012

Clean and updated rooms. Nice small kitchen area. Fair prices, nice staff. (I'm very picky with hotels because I'm a germaphobe, but can honestly say I had NO complaints!) Will absolutely stay again!!
