Dave, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was large and had a surprising dining table. But the AC didn’t work. We had to open all the windows and blinds to get a breeze. Enjoyed the room as a whole but we slept very little since it was almost 90 during the day and 80 at night. The pool was nice and not crowded.

Great experience at at The Pony Island Inn

This was the forth time visiting Ocracoke, The Pony Island Inn was the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed! Also loved the ground unit, no steps to worry with! I think this was the first place we’ve ever stayed that I didn’t have to ask for extra towels and wash cloths…Great housekeeping team!!!

Round 2

We stayed at Pony Island passing through Ocracoke last year. We were so impressed that we intentionally booked to stay there on our way through again this year. The place is simple. No frills. It’s super clean, though, and the staff is fantastic! The restaurant on the property has good food and good service and the pool has been well maintained during both of our stays.

Very clean property, Greyson was outstanding.
Craig, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Would ask for top floor next time, as there was a herd of buffalo stomping ants above us until the wee hours. Would definitely upgrade the beds, not very comfortable. Pool was very nice and location very convenient to everything.
