Pony Island Motel

Offseason in Ocracoke

Because we were traveling so late in the season, many of the hotels and other accommodations were closed. I called the Bluff Shoal Motel from the AAA book, and they were going to be closed after Thanksgiving to do some renouvations (although they are usually open)

We got to the motel about one o'clock. The office was closed, but there was a sign on the door that said "If you have a reservation, look on the other door". I walked around to the other door and it said,

"Robert Beasley you are in Room 101 and the key is in the door".

There was another notice for someone named Tim

So we went to room 101, and brought the overnight bags in, and Bob put his plant out in the sun. When we got back, the office was open and the lady had a little boy with her, who ran and hid behind his mom when we came in, and checked in. Off season winter rates are $55/night plus about 10% tax.

The pool has been drained and it looks like they are going to put up a new pool deck out of that recycled plastic. They have the same thing at the Pony Pens, but Bob said they've installed it upside down so that the grooves to keep it from being slippery on the bottom instead of the top.

The lady had four restaurants that would be open and she had menus for them.
