There are no oceanfront hotels on the beach in Ocracoke, however there are hotels situated in the village on Silver Lake.

I believe that the Anchorage allows dogs.

Not sure who allows dogs but the second part of your question is what I will respond to so you have a better understanding of Ocracoke. The island of Ocracoke is +90% national seashore. The remaining 10% (or whatever the % is) is the village of Ocracoke. The village is on the back eastern portion of the island and is probably a minimum of 1 and as far as 3 miles from the ocean. This is why the village has existed for almost 400 years. There are many access points to the ocean. The lack of beach front housing/motels is one of the many unique features of Ocracoke. You can take a 4-wheel drive vehicles out on the beach or go to one of the public access points. What this creates is an unspoiled +13 miles of beach front.
