Our friendly and caring staff is ready to treat you to a premier Ocracoke lodging experience. We aim to provide you with a carefree visit to Ocracoke in one of our clean and modern rooms or suites. Consistently, guests rank us among the best places to stay in Ocracoke. Strategically located on Highway 12 at the edge of picturesque Ocracoke Village, we're within easy walking distance of Silver Lake Harbor and most of the island restaurants and shops. We're also located right next door to the Pony Island Restaurant which is open daily for breakfast in season. Ocracoke is located on the southern tip of North Carolina's famed Outer Banks. Our relatively small 16 mile island initially looks expansive due to its miles and miles of pristine beaches. We're accessible from the mainland only by private plane, private boat, or one of three state-run ferries from Hatteras Village, Cedar Island, or Swan Quarter. Most of the island is owned by the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and is maintained by the National Park Service. This pristine environment provides the perfect haven for water adventurers, as well as a peaceful, safe, relaxing spot to soak in the sun. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Our hotel does not have an elevator. Please keep that in mind as you book rooms. 2nd and 3 floor access is by stairs only.
