We enjoyed our stay at Pony Island Motel during a spring getaway to the Outer Banks. It is clean and well maintained, and the suite is very spacious yet reasonably priced. We appreciated the laid back atmosphere and the convenient location, which is just across the street from a decent place to eat. There is also a good restaurant with... More

WE stayed two nights at the Pony Island and it has been great. The room was great with refrig, microwave, and sink and coffee pot.It was very comfortable. Would want the same motel and room if we ever come again.

We rented the one bedroom suite which is on the 3d floor. Clean, bright, comfortable. No elevator could be an issue for some, the 3 flights of stairs were good exercise for me. Staff was friendly and helpful. I arrived 2 days early for my reservation and they helped me work it out since my room was not available the... More

My wife and I had a fantastic stay at Pony Island! The ladies at the front desk were so pleasant, and the room we stayed in was very nice (it was suite 301). We also rented bikes from the hotel and the nice lady explained the rates; we rented for 24hrs for $20 dollars; this is a great way to... More

We had to stay overnight in Ocracoke unexpectedly, due to missing the last ferry to Cedar Island (which is on a WAY different schedule than the Hatteras ferry - it was even different than the ferry schedule stated! But, I digress...). We were on a mission to see 6 out of the 7 NC lighthouses ~ so we had to... More

Great hotel overall. Easy check-in/check-out at weird hours. Very clean rooms and bed was comfortable. Walking distance to some restaurants (were closed when we were there due to off-season). Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in the area.

I have been staying here every fall for 4-5 nights every October for over 10 years. Convenient parking for vehicles with surf fishing gear, especially in front of rooms in the old section. Nice covered section in front of rooms with comfy chairs and a table in front of rooms. Always very clean and plenty of hot water in shower/bathtub.... More

There was a mattress pad with plastic on it on the bed. Think crinkle, crinkle every time you roll over. The walls seemed very thin. We called before getting on the ferry and a message on the answering machine said that no one would be in the office until 5. We ended up arriving at 5 and got a room.... More

Stayed here on a very cold night in Feb - heat had trouble getting into the bathroom but room had fridge, good lighting, comfortable bed and a place for breakfast the next morning right next door. There were also comfortable chairs for sitting so you didn't have only the bed.

We come to Ocracoke every year during the winter season and the Pony Island is the place we always stay. Everything is peaceful, clean, well appointed and nicely maintained. It is really an excellent choice for the money. The staff is helpful and friendly. I love the fact that they leave the key in the door for you when you... More
