Bluff Shoal

This hotel does not give confirmation numbers out over the phone nor do they use email. Until they change their methods I would not rely on having a room upon arrival. They will send you confirmation via snail mail but, you better be home to assure you get their letter. If this takes a week during the busy season I hope you can find another room if they screw up.

After reading a lot of comments posted for hotels at Ocracoke I choose Bluff Shoal. Last month I called about three weeks ahead and booked a room for one night and told the girl I would not be home to get the confirmation letter but she refused to give me my confirmation number over the phone. We left home before receiving our confirmation letter and upon arrival they did not any record of my booking nor did they have any rooms available.

I would not trust a reservation with this hotel.

This little motel looks nothing from the front, they have just 7 rooms, but step into the basic rooms and look out of the window. WOW! a beautiful vista of the water, boats and birds. Sit in the "Garden on the Dock" and soak up the calming, peaceful atmosphere. Wonderful place to chill and bide a while. I wish we could have stayed longer.

An older "70's" type motel (which I love) that is the cleanest I have ever stayed in. Loved everything about it - can't wait to go back !!

I have been staying at Bluff Shoals for over 10 years, and I never tire of it. I like going during the off season best. I like grilling out and relaxing by the scenic Silver Lake shore. I like the convienence of the grocery store next door. The parking is great. The rates for rooms are good. I also enjoy sitting on the front porch watching the local activities. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
