This mom-n-pop property is conveniently located near restaurants and one of the general stores. It's a short drive away from the beach. There are seven rooms, with one assigned parking space per room, located right in front of the room. You can sit outside your room on the porch and people watch or just relax. There is also a yard...

The Bluff Shoal is clean and reasonably priced and has an absolute perfect location in the heart of Ocracoke. It offers easy access to wonderful restaurants and shops and offers a great view from the rear deck. The rooms were clean and although the hotel is definitely on the older side the property has been kept up and is in... More

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... More

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... More

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... More

We were first off the ferry and the owner offered us the newly remodeled apartment at the back for a great rate. 2 bdrms, 1 bath (clean enough to eat off), full kitchen, living room and screened in porch. Very clean, he even washes the bedspreads. Free bikes and a dock on Silver Lake with adirondack chairs. We're going back... More

Bluff Shoal is an older, but meticulously maintained motel right on Silver Lake Harbor. There are only about 7 rooms, and they are basic motel rooms, but the rooms and grounds were spotless and very comfortable. We were there in the off-season, and arrived on the first ferry from Cedar Island. We weren't sure of their check-in time, so stopped... More

We had a fantastic 5 days at the Bluff Shoal. It's absolutely spotless, and has an excellent location right in Ocracoke Village. The service we received was top-notch. It has a few amenities that elevate it above similar locations, particularly its location right on the harbor with a deck for guests to use. There's also coffee (though not a full... More
