Waterfront Hotel in Ocracoke Island, NC
Captain's Landing Waterfront Inn was founded in 2001 by George and Betty Chamberlin, whose deep personal ties to Ocracoke Island shape our unique hospitality experience. Betty, a ninth-generation Ocracoke native and descendant of Captain Horatio Williams, drew inspiration from historic local architecture, particularly the 19th-century Ponzer Hotel, to create a property that honors the islands maritime heritage. Our waterfront location across from Silver Lake Harbor offers guests unparalleled views of the Ocracoke Lighthouse and easy access to the villages shops and restaurants.With 18 years of combined aviation and island hospitality expertise, we provide meticulously designed accommodations ranging from cozy suites to private cottages. Our team prioritizes personalized service, offering local recommendations and amenities like golf cart rentals to enhance your stay. Every detail, from the family-named suites to the ADA-accessible features, reflects our commitment to comfort, history, and island living. We take pride in welcoming guests with the same warmth that has defined Ocracoke for generations.
