If you have found your way to 'Ocracoke' on vrbo I'm sure you will have read descriptions of how beautiful it is on Ocracoke, or maybe you have already visited?! On this small Island we all share the same space...and enjoy it's unique qualities.
This has been our year round home, and this is the second year it will be available for rent. It was built with exceptional care and attention to detail and with as many 'green' features as possible. We imported recycled tile from our home country of England, we have 'low flush' toilets, a kitchen made from renewable sourced materials with wonderful oak countertops, recycled tree trunks as unique decorative features, environmentally friendly paint, bamboo rugs, everything is energy efficient... and we made sure the windows made the most of the light and warmth.
The layout is open plan, but with distinct areas allowing a really comfortable 'flow'. There are two bedrooms upstairs with a full bathroom, a master bedroom downstairs with it's own deck and full jacuzzi bathroom, and a further half bathroom downstairs. We particularly love the views of trees all around us with a wonderful large open treed space adjoining our property. It's quiet but close to everything, a truly wonderful home.
The house is now WiFi.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
We moved from England to North Carolina to work at ECU in 2001. As soon as we found Ocracoke we moved so our son could attended the school and enjoy the freedoms Ocracoke offers..and the surf! It has been the most wonderful 'home from home'. Now our son has graduated we are enjoying spending time exploriong different places...but when we return to Ocracoke it rejuvenates us like no other place and always feels like home!
Why the Owner Chose Ocracoke
It's quiet, but central...and is the friendliest road on the Island! We had the house built to meet our needs, with lots of little extras and plenty of personality!
The Unique Benefits of this Detached House
no-one overlooks you, the house has great space, the light and decks are a great asset.
