"This place is something else! We ended up booking a last minute stay - we arrived in the dark and it was late. As soon as we stepped inside, we had the warmest welcome and fell in love with the place instantly! We’ve done tons of traveling and on this specific trip we were on a road trip from Portland, Maine to Charleston, SC and this was without a doubt our fav place to stay! It’s not fancy, the door didn’t close properly but we didn’t care! I can’t wait to go back and stay for more than 1 night!"

"Quaint and comfy cottage and you can't beat the view. An added bonus was the pods of dolphins we watched in the morning from the deck. We also rented a golf cart for the week and had a blast exploring the island. Cottage was very clean and well stocked. Communication with Debbie was excellent. Overall, a great place to stay on Ocracoke."

"Our stay at Silver Lake was wonderful, Hanna & John were perfect hosts and have done a great job with renovating both the hotel and The Jolly Roger!

"This is a beautiful immaculately kept house and property. The hosts Richard and Brenda could not be kinder and were so helpful in answering questions . It is a perfect quiet secluded sanctuary on the water , .but not a far drive from the town of Beaufort or the ferry to Cape lookout. I had a wonderful stay there and I can't wait to go back. This place is a treasure."
