The Sand Dollar Motel is one of the best kept secrets on the Outer Banks. . The rooms are comfortable, reasonably priced, and a short walk or bike ride to anywhere. The owners do their best to make you feel welcome and your stay enjoyable. Although we have visited Ocracoke as a day trip from the main island for more... More

Staying in this motel is actually one of the reasons my visit was so amazing. They went above and beyond what was expected. Such nice people. It's a humble room but very clean, close to everything, and cheap! If you are vacationing at the beach, who cares how lavish the room is. One of he best motel experiences ever because... More

Visited Ocracoke in August and had a very nice stay at the Sand Dollar. We had a 2 BR room, ir was small but had a private bath and a good working AC. Room was clean and the manager is a nice guy. Would definitely stay again. More

Got into orcacoke late and coordinated with the staff to pick up keys. Room was small but clean. The room we had was beach themed with wood panel walls. Sort of dated but it was clean (cannot stress now important it is for a place to be clean) Bathroom was recently remodelled. Great stay. More

So we spent the day in Ocracoke visiting small shops and eating. The motel itself is well maintained and managed. It is a small familty operated business that happens to... More

We loved our recent trip to Ocracoke and and a big part of that was the Sand Dollar Motel. It was just what we were looking for -- close to everything but a little off the beaten path, clean rooms, great atmosphere, and a good price. We will definitely be back there. One tip -- walk down the street to... More

Haven't been to Ocracoke for close to 20 years, but spent a considerable amount of time here as a child, and wanted to share this unspoiled island with my kids. The Sand Dollar Motel was a joy! Much like the island, only a few creature comfort updates- anything fancy would not fit this island. Room was clean, staff was friendly,... More
