Second Wind cottage is a real home away from home...guests often comment that staying here is like visiting friends.
Great care is taken by the owners to ensure the comfort of every guest. The cottage is perfect for a couple, or a couple with a small child.
It has an open, airy floor plan with lots of windows and two sliding glass doors leading to decks that overlook the canal, a very well-equipped kitchen, and many small touches that help make your stay more pleasurable. We pride ourselves on offering a clean, comfortable, and well maintained cottage.
If you've never been to Ocracoke, you're in for a treat. It's one of the most unique places many will have the chance to visit. With 13 miles of pristine beach, it's no wonder it was voted the number one beach in the country in 2007. It's not hard to fall in love with the easy going, laid back lifestyle.
If you're in the mood to stay busy, there's lots to do from inshore and offshore fishing with native guides, biking, raking your own clams, kayaking and parasailing to shopping and trying one of the many great restaurants on the island.
If you're more into relaxing, kick back on the porch in one of our locally made Adirondack chairs and watch egrets, ducks and otters off the back deck, or chill out with a book or movie from the house.
If you have been here before, there's always a few new places to check out and a chance to rediscover why you came to Ocracoke in the first place.

The simplistic beauty and peace that this place surrounded us with is what we needed. You have a beautiful home. Thank you for allowing us to share your slice of the island pie!

This is, by far, the finest (and best equipped and decorated) rental home in which we have ever stayed. We brought a bag of books to read, but did not open a single one-your library was too fascinating to pass up! We were equally fascinated by the wildlife(egrets, ducks, and a family of otters). We had a wonderful time, your hard work was appreciated.

The house far exceeded our expectations, we will have to come back and we wouldn't stay anywhere but here, at Second Wind. We are so impressed!
Positive Rating
The house was so comfortable, lovely, spacious and attractively furnished that we spent more time here just relaxing than we spent sightseeing, walking the beaches, etc. Thanks and more thanks for this exceptionally clean house. We are honored to have had this chance.
