"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Ocracoke property. The home was clean, quiet, and nicely appointed, with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location was excellent—close to everything while still feeling peaceful and relaxing.The only drawback was the somewhat unusual floor plan. Access to the upstairs requires passing through a bathroom, which may be inconvenient for some guests depending on their group and sleeping arrangements.Overall, it was a great place to stay, and as...

Top Portsmouth Hotel Reviews

Ocracoke Harbor Inn

8/10 Good

"Loved the in-town location and easy proximity to ferry Breakfast was scarce... can use some upgrading in terms of fruit & hot offerings! Loved to be able to sit outside for a breakfast with a harbor view!"

The Silver Lake Hotel at Ocracoke

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t recommend the Silver Lake Hotel enough! The new owners, Hannah and John, have done an incredible job. The recent renovations are absolutely top-notch, and every detail has been thoughtfully done. The rooms are beautiful, and the beds and pillows are so comfortable you’ll almost forget you’re away from home. The bathrooms are stunning, with gorgeous granite countertops, beautifully tiled showers, and amazing water pressure. Each room is also equipped with a mini fridge, microwave and Keurig. The amenities truly set this hotel apart. Guests have access to lounge chairs, beach towels, a small cooler, and even bicycles to use during their stay—everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The location couldn’t be better either—it’s directly across the street from Jolly Roger’s Pub and just around the corner from Dajio’s and SmacNally’s, making it easy to walk to some of the island’s best spots. We had an amazing stay and will most definitely be back. If you’re looking for a beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly located place to stay, the Silver Lake Hotel is an easy five-star recommendation!"

Cozy waterfront bamboo retreat, perfect for fishermen or outdoor enthusiasts

8/10 Good

"So first off people need to remember this is an RV experience and not a hotel experience when booking this place. If you’re not familiar with RV then you will not have proper expectations. Honestly, we thought this place was cute. We enjoyed waking to the sunrise every morning right by the water. We enjoyed the atmosphere, kayaks and loved the outdoor rain shower. I think overall our only complaint was that it was pretty warm in the RV. There is a portable AC but it is on the opposite side of the RV. Maybe centralize it and it would help with the temp control. The toilet did smell but RV toilets must have water kept in the bowl with deodorizer and as long as you did this it did not smell. This is something that must occur after the toilet is flushed every time. Like I said remember this is an RV. We would consider staying here again. Overall the romantic cuteness and amenities outweigh everything. Thanks for your hospitality."

The Lucky Buc-Pet friendly cottage perfect for a couple or small family.

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for the two of us! This stay will hold special memories as we just got engaged on this trip! Communication with the hosts was quick and easy. We loved the option of our golf cart rental through the host. Would recommend!"
