No complaints. We were in a newer two story building; the room was very nice and clean. We were also there during the off-season, but Roger at the desk told us which restaurants were open and to be sure to prepare for breakfast (which we purchased from the general store across the street and enjoyed in the room). Within easy walking distance to sops and restaurants.

A well located property and the room was very nice and we enjoyed the showers hot water A short distance from ferry dock, Ocracoke lighthouse, Jasons restaurant and a variety story where just down the street. It was still off season so many places not open yet. We had a great time at the beach there where more vehicles cruising the beaches than people walking on them.

The man who checked us in was very friendly and informative. We had a room with a kitchen and two double beds. It had everything we needed to prepare our dinner and breakfast; important since most restaurants were not open at the end of February. We really liked Okracoke Island and hope to return (and would stay at the Pony Island Inn).
