Ocracoke Island: Beautiful cottage in the village

45 Mary Ann Drive:

At "Little House by the Ferry" you can relax in hammocks and hear the ferry boats tooting their horns coming and going out of the harbor. Located near Silver Lake Harbor where all the restaurants and shops are located, you will find it easy to stroll or bike from this convenient location.

This charming 3 Bedroom (plus bonus bunk room) 1 Bath cottage has undergone a complete renovation and addition during the Spring of 2009. You will love the professionally decorated cottage decor. There are 2 hammocks for relaxing, a fenced-in dog yard, dishwasher and washer and dryer. While there is only one full bath, there is an exceptional outdoor shower with a star-filled sky above. You will never want to shower indoors again.

The large screened-in porch has vaulted ceilings and big views of open space which makes for a very private setting.

Bonus Items: We have bikes, sand chairs, beach umbrellas and boogie boards you are welcome to use. These items are not a part of the lease because we cannot guarantee they will all be in good working order at the time of your stay. It seems like there is always a bike or two out of commission at any given time.

Most of Ocracoke Island is owned by the National Park Service and there are no cottages located at the beach front. Little House by the Ferry is located in the village about a mile and a half from the beach. If you have a four wheel drive you can drive out on the beach. You can also drive or ride bikes to the life guarded beach and walk over the dunes to the beach.

Our cottage is now on city water which provides great water pressure and makes the our shower absolute heaven!

Maximum of 6 people.
Maximum of 3 parking spaces.
Maximum of 1 pet with $100 Pet Fee. (well behaved please)

Check-in time is 3:00 PM and Check-out time is 11:00 AM.

We hope you love "Little House by the Ferry" as much as we do.

Quick Trip
The Little House by the Ferry was perfect for our group and for our visit to Ocracoke. It was very well appointed, cozy as a warm blanket, and in a great location. The neighborhood lizards even stopped by to entertain us this morning before we left. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for anyone wanting affordable luxury in a private home. Thanks!!

Perfect Ocracoke Cottage
We loved everything about this adorable cottage! It was well stocked and had lovely decor. There are four bedrooms and a fenced in yard for dogs. The screened porch is prefect for morning coffee and listening to the birds. There is privacy all around and in such a great location.

Perfect Getaway at Little House on the Ferry
Our stay in Ocracoke exceeded expectations. The house offers anything you may need for your stay. Our Hosts thought of everything. You can tell a lot of love went into this home. It's walking distance to most anything you want to see, eat, or drink! After a day of walking the village, the screened in porch is the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the evening. Find the little photo album on the shelf in the Kitchen and see the remarkable amount of work that went into the renovations of this house. Amazing. The Whale wallpaper is a fabulous touch! We will definitely stay here again, Thank you Marsh and Lynn!

Wonderful every time
This was our fourth stay at this location and there are so many reasons we keep coming back! We love the feel of this home, the location, and everything about it. We noticed that the bathroom has been updated since our last visit and it’s looking especially nice. This stay was every bit as lovely as our past stays. I’m sure we will be back!

Relaxing Ocracoke cottage
This cottage was perfect for our little family getaway at Thanksgiving. It’s well laid out, has all you need to be comfortable and relax in a nature surround environment. Will definitely recommend to friends and return for a second stay. The wind was blustery during our stay, but we were toasty warm the entire time. Look forward to a warm weather visit so we can enjoy the lovely screened porch.

Perfect get away
At Little House by the Ferry was easy to access all of Ocracoke: tours, parasailing, and the beach! We rode bikes everyday and used beach umbrellas for shade when we drove. The house was relaxed and was a great place to read and chill before our next adventure. (Great place to nap!)
