About this property

Welcome to Anchorage Inn & Marina

Anchorage Inn & Marina is a modern harbor-side hotel located on Irvin Garrish Highway in Ocracoke, North Carolina. Overlooking Silver Lake harbor, the property offers standard rooms, some featuring pleasant water views. Guests can enjoy the outdoor pool and take advantage of amenities including free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and complimentary parking. The inn is also pet-friendly and accessible, although it does not provide airport shuttle services or a fitness center.

As both a hotel and marina, Anchorage Inn & Marina provides convenient access to boat rentals through Restless Native Boat Rentals and fishing excursions with Cap'n B Fishing Charters, both situated on site. Check-in begins at 3 PM, with check-out at 11 AM, making it a practical choice for visitors planning time on the water or exploring the island.

The location is favorable for those wanting to explore nearby attractions such as the historic Ocracoke Lighthouse, a well-regarded lighthouse dating back to 1823. Nature enthusiasts can visit Springer's Point Preserve or spend time at Ocracoke Beach, known for its secluded 16-mile shoreline offering ocean swimming and fishing. The property is just a short distance from the Ocracoke Island Visitor Center, making it a convenient base for sightseeing.

Guest reviews, which average a solid 4.2 from 381 total responses, highlight the property's suitability for visitors seeking a casual lakefront stay. While the overall rating reflects generally positive experiences, some feedback suggests that the hotel caters well to families and pet owners but is geared more toward basic comfort than luxury. Several nearby lodging options are available for comparison, including Ocracoke Harbor Inn and The Castle Inn at Silver Lake.
