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.

We loved the deck! The game room looked really nice but we didn’t get a chance to try it out

Quaint but outdated.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.
