My wife and I decided we wanted to go on a nostalgic little getaway for a few days. Leaving from Charleston, SC we drove up US 17 known as the Ocean Highway. Stopped at Little River SC for the night and took a casino boat for a diversion. The next leg we continued up the coast of NC and took... More

The Bluff Shoals Motel is nestled in the heart of the village of Ocracoke on silver lake directly across from Dajio Restaurant .We Rode the Swan Quarter ferry in then drove two blocks to the Bluff Shoals. Spent three days and never moved my car, never watched TV, never looked at a clock and room didn't have one. Drove two... More

Great little Ocracoke motel. A wonderful old-timey place. Very friendly, comfortable, neat and super-clean. You can park directly outside your room, so it's easy to get to fishing, biking, or beach equipment in the truck. There's a small private dock off the backyard on Silver Lake. The view there is beautiful. There's a shaded front porch with ceiling fans and... More

Needed a place to stay on Ocracoke for one night at the end of April. Many of the other accomodations on the island would only accept a minimum reservation of 2 nights that time of year. The Bluff Shoal gladly accepted my one night stay request and it was a good find. The location is right on the main drag... More

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
