Ok but could be better

Simply stated room, comfie, but blinds wouldn’t go down in bathroom and toilet paper roll looked like it had been dropped in dirty water and dried.

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!!!

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.
