We got to Pony Island Motel on a Friday afternoon, we got a cute and clean room. Everything was nice and quiet at that point. I was disappointed about the swimming being right on the edge of the road where all the traffic was. The motel is located on the main road and there was a lot of traffic that... More

My husband and I and our 2 children stayed this past Memorial Day Weekend and I cannot say enough about this motel. Rooms were clean and bright and recently refurbished. We loved sitting out on our deck in the adirondack chairs. It was downtown and close to everything but so peaceful and quiet at night. Perfect for families and the... More

We stayed one night in April 2013. Rooms are clean, comfortable, and very affordable. Will definitely stay here again. The front desk staff were very pleasant and offered dining suggestions. Close to Howard's Pub.

We stayed there in April, 2013. This place is a gem. Clean rooms, nice beds and easily accessible to Howard's Pub, Jason's restaurant and Downtown. We rented Bicycles w/locks at the hotel and rode them for 24 hours for $10 each. The front desk doesn't have any of the modern conveniences, but our check-in was not hindered and the staff... More

If you are looking for a fancy place,this is not it. If you are looking for a clean, friendly, affordable place to spend a few days with a pool this is it. Check in was a breeze, pool was nice, location was great. If I was in Ocracoke for a few days I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

We stayed here in April, 2013; and were delighted with the cleanliness and modern updates to the efficiency unit we had. The first night, there were guests nearby us who were being noisy after hours; and we called the owner at the number given. She phoned them and explained the noise restrictions; then, actually physically went by their room to... More

Just got off the ferry after a long drive and pulled into pony island! Nice small p.ace in the middle of everything. Nothing fancy friendly clean walking distance to everything g we needed. Good water pressure, lots of hot water. Towels could be a little bigger. GREAT dollar value.

Have stayed here before and decided to rebook for two nights. We appeared to be the only guests in the building we were in, then found that there was another couple in our building, in the room right next to us! The first night was extremely quiet, as the couple in the room next to us seemed to have left... More

We decided to try Ocacroke in off season.This room is an efficiency and is a wonderful bargain. It is clean and looks new. The owner is very nice and accomodating, and did not demand an advance deposit, or a commitment for a certain length. We ended up staying 5 nights. It is the most laid back vacation we ever had....
