Blackbeard's Lodge

Blackbeard's Lodge has been a cornerstone of hospitality on Ocracoke Island since 1936, offering guests a unique blend of historic charm and modern comfort. As the oldest operating lodge on the island, we take pride in preserving our rich heritage while providing contemporary amenities to ensure a memorable stay. Our family-owned business, now led by Chip and Helena Stevens, continues the legacy of Robert Stanley Wahab, whose vision brought electricity, telephone service, and innovative tourism concepts to Ocracoke. We specialize in creating immersive experiences through our thoughtfully designed accommodations, ranging from cozy guest rooms to spacious suites with full kitchens. Our commitment to excellence extends to personalized services like complimentary shuttle transportation, recreational facilities, and curated local experiences.

With deep roots in the community dating back to 1742, we offer unparalleled insight into Ocracoke's history and culture. Our property features historic elements like a 19th-century wood-burning stove and a Skipjack boat exhibit, while maintaining modern comforts such as free WiFi and kitchen-equipped units. We maintain rigorous standards through regular maintenance of our 36 distinct accommodations and adherence to national park service guidelines for our coastal location. Our team combines generational knowledge with contemporary hospitality practices to deliver authentic island experiences that have earned us consistent guest loyalty and positive recognition.
