Let's face it, almost all of the hotels/inns on Ocracoke are old, and most of them smell musty. We stayed here for the first time and had a mixed experience. It was not musty smelling at all, and it was basically clean. Our room was large and had a nice bay window that overlooked the fine old Live Oak trees,... More

Beautiful bay view with hammock. The TV was in position where bed should be located. We were on 3rd floor and walk up was in an unventilated unfinished stair well. The jamb to our room appeared to have been forced in, although it was working. The floor on our balcony was rotting. The outside of the air conditioner was visible... More

We chose a suite that had a full kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms, a bath and private deck with a hammock! I dont think we could have found something that suited our family better. We had great veiws of the harbor, walking distance to shops and restaurants. The weather was perfect when we went, so we were able to turn... More

After a horrible experience at another location the previous night, silver lake was like going home. Service was prompt and professional. I can't speak to the motel but the condo suite we stayed in was clean and well cared for. Maybe some like more modern style amenities but we found everything more than sufficient. Cold water tap in kitchen was... More

Last minute getaway, on a budget. They are on the move with upgrades. It's ocracoke and everything is casual, so it fits right in. Took first floor with a kitchen and had a blast watching those stumble home, plus nice view of harbor. Unexpected pleasure when traveling with low expectations. Clean, neat and smiling faces...what's wrong with that when it's... More

Hopped down to Ocracoke for a 4-night long weekend at the Silver Lake and had a great time! We went for a suite in the motel, with a kitchen, living area and private porch, all on the first floor. The porch overlooked the harbor, and provided excellent people-watching in the afternoon. Everything was clean, and they had obviously been doing... More

Our last night on vacation & rented here because of location /view of bay. Big mistake. Upon walking up 3 flights of cobwebs & rotted out wood we arrived @ the $160.00 room. Window unit Ac which made terrible noise the entire night, worst bed in the free world. Squeaky and very uncomfortable. No chair to sit on, no wifi.... More

Management thought a piece of plywood placed under the mattress would fix the springs poking out and the middle sunken in...they said this is how the Marriott does it...Really!!!...the door barely latched and can easily be opened with a card--yea!!! The hot tub was the best part---not the 19 inch TV w/8 channels....the free continential breakfast sucked.... Ocracoke is great---beautiful... More

The location is great. Everything else was far from acceptable. This was our first time staying here and I was very much less than impressed. We came with an open mind, but I'll never stay there again. First, the manager calls us a couple days before arrival to tell us the stove doesn't work in our hot tub suite, which... More

The morning staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Every morning we were greeted with smiles and a "good morning". The morning staff assisted us in finding all the best places for dinner, music and drinks. The rooms are nice for a long weekend stay but anything longer you may want to upgrade because the rooms are rather tight. All in... More
