This was the first time staying at this property. It was a delight. They had coffee all day, a hot water kettle for tea and a small game room for all! Staff was very nice and accommodating! We will be back!

A nicely-run and modest hotel somewhat limited by it's older architecture. Our standard room was somewhat small, but well-kept. Super-friendly staff!

Blackbeard's is like a bed & breakfast without the breakfast (which is fine, btw). It is an authentic vintage hotel in the heart of Ocracoke, which is exactly what we wanted. I will be visiting again.

We've stayed at Blackbeard's Lodge a couple of times. We love Ocracoke, and you know staying at Blackbeard's Lodge you are staying in an old-school family-style hotel. However the bathroom of our room really needed some maintenance. It wasn't dirty, it just needed for the shower and tub drain to work better.

While our stay was comfortable enough we were disappointed in the conditions in our room. Some dried brown streaks running down the wall under our window and around our door. There was also what looked like dried food or boogers on the wall above our headboard. The pool hours were disappointing as we wanted to swim after dinner but the pool closes at 8:30. On the plus side there was plenty of hot water to bathe, the A/C worked well and even though it was peak season it was quiet and we had a good night sleep.

Quaint but outdated. It would have been nice to have an updated room/space to stay - the a/c was loud, there were no blackout curtains, the fridge was small. I did appreciate the availability of the game room for the hotter days and as a space to gather. The pool was also nice, but parking was a nightmare! We also had two nights where our cart wasn't charging correctly (not one of the Lodge's carts, but the plugs out back were bad), so we were unable to utilize it and it felt like wasted money. I will say the staff were friendly and helpful, and things seemed clean. Overall will likely not be staying here again, but had some nice touches.

The room and location was perfect. The theme is cute too. I recommend booking directly if you have a pet as it’s only specific rooms, Expedia does not know which to mark for pets so this caused issues. There are quite a bit of steps to get to 2nd or 3rd floors.
