Garrish Suite
Welcome to the Garrish Suite, named after one of Ocracoke Island’s most influential and beloved families. The Garrish family has been a fixture on the island for generations, and their legacy is still felt in the community today. If you’re lucky, you might meet the one and only Roger Garrish in our front office. He is one of the remaining natives that speaks with the Ocracoke Brogue, also known as the “Hoi Toider” dialect.
Irvin Garrish was a ferry captain and served as the island’s first representative to the Hyde County Board of Commissioners.
