The lights on the passage way are really bright and no way to darken the room because of the curtains. They are very ..."

I had been to Ocracoke in 1980 and lots has changed. still pristine beach and great seafood!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Nice and secluded, ferry ride over adds to. Village roads a bit too narrow for the vehicular and foot traffic that converge upon.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

It is an okay place for adult couples who just want to sit around and drink on the beach or at a bar. lots of choices for a good alcoholic beverage but with kids, options are limited. Not budget friendly. Every meal is around $15/person or more.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

It was friendly but a bit congested in the main town areas for my taste.
