Blackbeard's Lodge

Sleeping outside may have been better or at minimum a comparable experience to staying in our room. First, the pictures on the website are incredibly misleading. Each and every corner was run down, paint chipped, bed frames and furniture stained. Our room was damp, smelled like must, all clothes taken into the room needed to be washed immediately upon returning home, even if they weren’t worn while on the island. Bugs everywhere. Our bathrooms and bedrooms were filled with mosquitos and other little insects. It is nothing short of an infestation. The window AC units (none of which worked because their filters needed to be changed) are not sealed to the windows so you are functionally sleeping with windows wide open. We didn’t even bother raising these issues because front desk clerk was rude the second we walked in the door. We would have left if island wasn’t sold out for a wedding. Worst hotel experience of my life.

Many people described this place correctly, old with charm which I agree. Biggest issue was lack of parking. Part of the problem are all the golf carts. They need a solution. Circling the parking lot at 9p with nothing available is pushing me to find a different hotel.

Wonderful, Knowledgeable, Friendly Staff Staff wonderful. No human can control rain, hot weather, or humidity but the staff does everything else it can to make up for it----great morning coffee, advice, helpful, history, friendly, great room AC! We will visit again!
