The area by the water was lovely. The bed was comfortable. Did not like the fact that because we booked through a 3rd party (Expedia) we were given the smallest, darkest room. The small back window looked out at a shower and the front window was very small as well. There was no room to sit except for 1 chair. The other person had to sit on the bed. I needed to use my computer and there was no where to put it and there was no chair that I could use as the one that was there was very low. (We were told by the absent owner/manager, by telephone, that we would go and take a chair from another room. We did and i used the suitcase rack to put my computer on my closed suitcase in order to use it. I also had asked if we could move to another room that had table and chairs and was told that the motel was booked for the weekend. I checked at night and in the morning and not all of the rooms were occupied. I even took photos of the parking lot very early on our second morning. There were 2 cars in it. Something really should be done to ensure that all guests are comfortable. I would not suggest that people book through a 3rd party is they want one of their nice rooms.

Cute Little Place / Fair Price

This is a very clean mom and pop owned hotel with basic amenities. The staff was very friendly. It is walking distance to food, shopping, and the ferry terminal. I will probably stay again when traveling through again next year. I highly recommend.

Ocracoke’s Hidden Gem

The Bluff Shoals Motel was an excellent choice for Ocracoke during the off season. Room was clean and comfortable. Amenities a bit dated but overall an excellent stay. The biggest selling point was the back garden that had the most stunning views of the harbor and lighthouse. Watching the sunset from the Adirondack chairs with a glass of wine was the perfect ending to the day. It was an added bonus that Dajio’s was across the street with some of the best food and service on the island. A must try for sure!
