Bottom Line

Staying at Edwards of Ocracoke is like stepping back in time. With just eight dated rooms ranging from Standard Rooms to Cottages to Efficiencies with very few amenities, this two-and-a-half-pearl hotel is immaculately clean and a favorite for repeat guests. Family-owned and operated, the Edwards is a bit like a home away from home, with touches like a porch swing and rocking chairs. It’s a quick walk to the shops and restaurants in the village of Ocracoke, but the location of the hotel and dedicated quiet hours, allow for a true “getting away from it all” kind of feeling.

Oyster Hotel Review

Edwards of Ocracoke Rooms and Cottages

Scene

A simple, straightforward property with an actual white picket fence

Nostalgic is the word that comes to mind upon arriving at Edwards of Ocracoke. An actual white picket fence separates the green grass form the street outside the main cottage where guests check in. It’s not much to speak of -- just a tiny desk, a small leather couch, and a few Ocracoke t-shirts for sale -- but it sets the scene for a simple, straightforward, and no frills stay.

Location

Peace and quiet on the outskirts of the village

Ocracoke is known for its 16 miles of beaches and charming downtown village, chock-full of dining, shopping, and lodging options. Despite the popularity of this section of the Outer Banks, even in the busy summer months, the Edwards property remains peaceful. On a quiet road just on the outskirts of the village, the shops and restaurants of Ocracoke are within walking distance of the hotel. The little island is also known for parasailing, kayaking, and other water sports as well as historical attractions such as a lighthouse and preservation museum.

Rooms

Simple guest units with flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi

The eight guest rooms here, ranging from an Efficiency unit to Cottages, are clean, comfortable, and simple. The rooms do have free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs, but that’s about it. Don’t expect any extras -- or even maid service -- at Edwards of Ocracoke, though it is possible to trade in linens mid-week on week-long stays. The decor, like the rest of the property, feels like it’s from another era: Think 70s-style patterns. Spaces are non-smoking and no pets are allowed. Most rooms have private screened porches while others offer covered porches and decks. The Efficiency unit has a small kitchenette with a sink, stovetop, full refrigerator, plates, and utensils.
