"We stayed at the Margaritaville Compass Hotel for a weekend getaway, and overall it was a decent experience, but definitely an expensive one. Between the room, food, drinks, and parking, we spent around $1,000 for the weekend, so my expectations were pretty high.
The hotel itself was very clean, and the rooms had beautiful views overlooking the marina, which was probably one of the highlights of the stay. The pool area was also very nice and had a relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast buffet was surprisingly good, and the drinks were definitely strong, so no complaints there.
That said, the menu prices throughout the property felt extremely overpriced for the quality and portions. Parking was also frustrating unless you paid extra for valet service. The self-parking spots are very tight and don’t comfortably fit many vehicles, so I’d recommend planning ahead or trying to find street parking if possible.
One positive is the location — it’s within walking distance to a lot of restaurants, bars, and attractions, which made getting around easy. However, during our stay there were only two entertainment shows the entire weekend, which was disappointing considering the amount we spent. I expected a little more activity and entertainment for the price point.
Overall, it feels very tourist-oriented. While the property is clean and has some nice features, I’m not sure I would return given the overall cost versus value."
Pet friendly cottage perfect for a couple or small family.

"Perfect size for two of us and a dog. Cozy cabin was very comfortable. Kitchen was fine. No washer or dryer so you will need to pack the clothes for the time you are there. Hosts were very nice to us and we have already booked for next year. Two key features that we liked. The place was private and located on a no-through street so traffic was limited. Some of the other roads in Ocracoke have way too much traffic-even in April. However, the best thing was the location. It is a short walk to the harbor, dining and shops. There is a golf cart you can rent but really the best bet is to take or rent a bike and get a little exercise. Unless you are driving out to the beach you should never need to use your car."
"Convenient location. Amenities were scarce — Bring your own soap and shampoo. Bedding was comfortable and room and bathroom were very cleaned. Cable and/or Wi-Fi was spotty. Overall, it was good location for a night or two"
"Only one employee was friendly and helpful. (Cynthia). We had reserved a golf cart for the day and were told it was $80 when we went to front desk to get cart they wanted to charge $125. Office as not open posted hours causing the cart not to be available till almost noon. Room was clean but tv did not work, no hair dryer and outlets were not available for medical equipment without moving bed. Would not stay there again"
