"I have nothing but good to say about this cute little house. It was tucked away in the center of Ocracoke just enough for privacy but close enough in town to ride the golf cart right down the street to all the shops and restaurants. The inside was decorated so nicely and very cozy. Me, my mom, and my lab had an amazing time.. We will definitely book again in the near future! "

"Incredible views. Great location. Beds were comfortable. House was so-so. Not as clean as others I have stayed in. After a 3 day road trip, the home was not ready when we arrived, so we ended up staying in a hotel the first night in Beaufort. Cleaning crew came the next morning and we were able to move in. We did not try the jacuzzi tub, but it looked nice. Furniture was very tired and uncomfortable. Kitchen cabinets were unorganized. I had to empty and organize pots and pans in order...

"We felt comfortable immediately upon arrival. The house is in a very quiet and picturesque location. We saw dolphins, spent hours on the dock fishing, and had a blast exploring the water on our personal paddle boards. The house was well stocked with cooking essentials and linens. Communication with the owner was seamless - they answered both of my questions within minutes. The house is about 30 minutes from takeout / grocery stores, so make sure to plan accordingly. We would recommend this place...
