Edwards of Ocracoke

This is a 4 ½ star review.
After some research for lodging on the island, my friend found this little charmer. We went during the off season and compared to the cost of hotels these days we found this place to be inexpensive and an absolute delight.
We had a courtyard room complete with yard swing, fish cleaning area, picnic tables, bike rack, and sitting area. Wrapped with a white picket fence, each room had its own screened patio. Recently having been renovated in a 50’s/60’s retro style, the room was IMMACULATE when we walked in. From the photos I saw online, I had my doubts about this place but upon my walk in, all my fears were put to rest. Clean, clean, clean!!! Comfy beds, full size refrigerator, satellite TV, wifi, hot shower, home-​y views from the windows… an absolute gem!
The only issue we had was that Ocracoke Island doesn’t have AT&T cell service and since my friend couldn’t figure out the room phone she ended up using the pay phone outside (Pay phone? Those still exist!!!). This is not reflection of the hotel. We later learned that Ocracoke does receive other cell services just not the one we had.
I would send any of my friends to this place as we really enjoyed our stay here. Plus, the person in the office was incredibly nice and helpful.
I couldn’t get myself to give 5 stars ONLY because I wasn’t a fan of the décor. At first sight, it was a turnoff. I have a different personal style when it comes to hotel stays and this wasn’t it. Had my friend not convinced me, I probably wouldn’t have brought my business here. That would have been my loss! Glad we stayed.
