Been going to the Sand Dollar for over 13 years and will go back again. The rooms are clean, well maintained and nicely decorated, it has a nice pool (although small,) and the staff is very laid back and personable. I had about 4 visits over the years and have never had a bad experience. This motel is located off... More

We had never been to The Outer Banks. Everyone was so friendly in welcoming us and telling us about the different restaurants. We had a lovely, clean suite - perfect for relaxing and reading. While it was not "on the beach" the location is nice and you feel as if you are in a neighborhood. A walk takes you wherever... More

I had never been to Ocracoke before but I would like to come back. The room at the Sand Dollar was a good value for the area. The room was clean and neat. The motel is located in a residential area but is close to activities. I had a small problem with the hot water in the sink. There appeared... More

Took an adventure to Ocracoke for the first time after staying in a timeshare resort in Kitty Hawk all week. Hope to return and would stay at Sand Dollar Suite with a pool again and again. Very private front porch, extremely spacious living room, full kitchen, dining room, king size bed, huge bathroom. Very clean and quite charming. Highly recommend.... More

This lovely little motel on a side street in Ocracoke Village is perfect for a family on a budget. The manager, Roger Garrish, is a nephew of Irvin Garrish (whom the main road in Ocracoke is named for), so you know you are in the safe hands of a local man with deep roots in the Village. Roger is Southern... More

We love staying here when we go to OBX. It has a cozy little but CLEAN pool. And we love to stay upstairs so we can over look the pool and hand out on the deck and grill. Great price and they are so friendly. Great location and not over priced at all. They have Wi Fi too. Lately this... More

The owners were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and quaint. It was close to everything. Would definitely stay there again. I am glad we stayed there for two nights instead of one. I didn't know they had a pool. Will have to check that the next time we are there.

TripAdvisor guided us to this gem of a place to stay and we are already planning our return! After reading one of the reviews we were worried that we had made the wrong choice...we are thrilled to report that the previous reviewers experience must have been an exception. No men in thongs, no water bugs, good water pressure, a new... More
