The Silver Lake Hotel at Ocracoke

09/01/2026

The early fall is the best time to visit Ocracoke! All of the shops and businesses are usually open through the end of October. The days are still warm and sunny; the water keeps the summer and gulf stream warmth all through September. The long ferry waits and busy crowds are gone. The island slows down to a more normal pace. The residents and locals can be seen venturing out and enjoying the solitude of the place they call home. The hotels rates change around Labor Day and rooms are more available.

Now is the perfect time to experience the luxury of the newly completely renovated Silver Lake Hotel and Resort 2-story building that was designed and built to provide a new crisp clean environment while maintaining the feel of the original building. The exterior got a much-needed facelift. The owners insisted on keeping as much of the wood paneling and flooring as possible while providing the latest technologies providing an unequaled environment for comfort and relaxation. Our resort also includes some special amenities including your own beach chairs and beach towels, bikes for island excursions, coolers, and more.

It is also a wonderful opportunity to visit our brand-new on-site restaurant facility. The Jolly Roger Pub & Marina, an iconic Ocracoke mainstay was destroyed by Hurricane Dorian in 2019 along with a large part of the island. The new owners took on the challenge of rebuilding the "Jolly" and have transformed the old net house bar and grill into an unbelievable 2-story waterfront facility. Our chefs have created a next level "pub food" menu with 5-star quality and our bartenders create all your favorites along with daily drink specials. And of course, the legendary sunsets are back as well.

This fall we will begin the transformation of the old 4-story suites building into a brand new re-imagined resort as well. This is a complete redesign and build that will include elevator access to all floors, both harbor and back property views, a swimming pool, and full property landscaping making that will highlight our incredible giant live oak trees and include some incredible outdoor spaces.

If you cant be there in person, you can always get a live view (like this one) of the Harbor from our fourth floor suites on our we**am.
