Great windy weekend in Ocracoke! Blackbeards was great! Comfy, great location and clean. But the gem of Blackbeards is Sherry at the front desk. Since we were there on a very windy weekend the ferries stopped service for a day. The next day Sherry was on it! She was on the phone with the ferry service, and in the know contacts. She was instrumental in getting us on the first operating ferry. She is 4 stars!

Our family stayed in the Boyette Suite. It was perfect for our family of four. The kids has their own room (they were super excited to have their own key!) that was connected to ours.
The staff was amazing. Due to strong winds the ferry was shut down In the morning. They let us back in our room to hang out for a few hours, no problem. Will definitely stay here again when we come back.

I really want to like this place and there are some things to love about it. But in the end it's just not what it could and should be. Shower sweet up in the East Apartments is a mess. Head won't stay in place, water gets all over the floor. Bathroom sink is held up by a dowel. Literally no place to set soap without falling into sink. Insufficient towel racks (like most hotels). Shades are not adjustable! The party for turning then is missing and too high to reach. The pull out sofa is a disaster.

My boyfriend had been staying here for years but this trip ended that. Front desk staff seemed annoyed by our presence. When we asked for towels they stated “you could have let the maids do their job.” Not that I have to explain myself but we didn’t need the room cleaned, just towels please.
Golf cart we rented would not go properly.
Water pressure is non existent.
Hot water is warm at best and must come over on the ferry.
The room stayed cool (not cold mind you) at night and warm during the day.
Our phones never even showed the internet for us to use the passwords.
Simply said… no

Very cool place with a nice atmosphere as fitting the name. If you're into obscure Disney references, it reminded me a bit of the place depicted in the movie "Blackbeard's Ghost." Quiet, well-furnished room and comfortable bed. Location is ideal, with most everything on the island in easy walking distance. Relaxing lobby and pool in the game room are another plus.

Blackbeard's Lodge is a really cute inn with a vintage vibe. We got the last apartment on the island and were told we didn't have a pet room despite booking one online, but the lady at the desk worked it out for us. The AC unit wasn't abnormally loud and kept the room cool all night. The pool was clean and the lights at night were a nice touch. Yes, the floors are thin and we had an issue with the partners upstairs who kept us up late with their party and woke us up early vomiting but the front desk was quick to respond to the nighttime situation. Overall, we would come back here but we'll book

Bathroom appeared clean but an open bottle of apple juice was in the refrigerator, likely left from previous guests. Check in was efficient and room ready. Website photos show pool table and air hockey, looking like they are available in lobby. However, they are in an arcade room where each game is $1 for one play. Kelly at check-in desk seemed a little stretched when asking for change since we didn’t want $10 in quarters from change machine.

Three stars for Blackbeard’s, mainly due to poor service and some safety upgrades that are necessary. Upon arrival, we had to wait quite a while to even be greeted (no one at the front desk, although we could see a girl up in the office who held up a finger for us to wait). She then seemed put out when we were asking questions about golf cart rental, check-in and check-out, etc. I literally never saw anyone at the front desk unless someone was checking in, and the door to the office was often closed with the “be back in ten minutes” sign posted. The staff seems to take frequent smoke breaks

An older historic lodge loaded with history and lots of charm. Plenty of rocking chairs and porch swings. We were there for three nights, and changed rooms 3 times, because we booked late and Sherry, the manager, was able to accommodate us by that arrangement. Each room was very clean, had it's own air conditioner. The beds were very comfortable.
The pool has new decking and new furniture, and has shaded areas as well as full sun.
The water temperature in the showers fluctuates quickly, not too hot, just warm and cold. Quick showers work best.

We were exploring the beach on a whim and decided we were done with camping and wanted a hotel. This wonderful spot had a jacuzzi tub that gave me the back massage I needed. We were able to get a dog friendly room which was great to give our puppers some A/C and privacy. The room was super clean and the bed was quite comfy. The pool was super clean and not super chlorinated like other places. Not on the main thoroughfare which made the stay quiet. A short walk to good food and shops and scenery. Looking forward to the next time I am in town stopping at our new favorite inn!!
