"Perfect loacation in Ocracoke!"

"My wife and I had a WONDERFUL time celebrating our 41 anniversary (Dec 30, 2024) and we LOVED staying at the Bluff Shoal Motel!! We GREATLY ENJOYED 5 days and 4 nights of peace and relaxation! The motel manager, Sissy, was EXCEPTIONALLY kind and helpful!! We understood that late December is NOT the tourist season and many stores and restaurants were closed. But just the right number were open for us to find exactly what were looking for! THANK YOU SISSY and THANK YOU OCRACOKE for our WONDERFUL visit!! We are VERY GRATEFUL! See you again, God willing! Most sincerely, Gerry & Daryl Ballough (Drexel Hill, PA)"

"Very clean, beautiful rooms. Highly recommend and would love to stay here again! Only downside was no microwave in the rooms, you have to walk to the main building to heat up any leftovers. You can self park but the parking lot is a little far from the hotel in my opinion. You’re better off paying the $15 valet each day, so budget that in. The valet was very fast though and everyone was nice!"

"Booked last minute and easily found keys for my room. Extremely clean, beds are comfortable. Great location with nice view of the harbor. Nice to wake up to the sound of the ferries leaving the harbor. Off season rates are very reasonable for the stay."

"Great get away! Traveled here on the off season and had a great view from our room. Hotel is convenient to restaurants and shopping. Enjoyed having a kitchenette so we could relax on the balcony and watch the sunset. "

"Very first time seeing snow at the coast , duck hunted for two days, quiet area and comfy house!"

"This is an excellent place on a quiet, dead-end road. I could not ask for a better place to get away"

"Little House by the Ferry was exactly as described. We wanted a weekend holiday get-away in the off-season and this trip hit the mark. The cottage is as shown in the photos and description. Since it was off-season and only a few on-island amenities were open, it was nice to have the little kitchen details like coffee filters, salt, pepper, etc. The cottage is in a very quiet area and easy walking distance to most places. Morning coffee on the screened porch with bird watching and lazy naps in the afternoon in the porch hammock. It is near a camp ground, which did not have any visitors at the time we stayed. "

"Wife and I spent the weekend for our 31st Anniversary. Off season and quiet but that’s the way I planned it. Staff was friendly, courteous and efficient. Will be back this summer during the tourist season when the island will be hopping. Recommend Blackbeards Lodge to any and all "
