2nd time at Treasure Chest

We have visited Ocracoke 4 times in the last several years. After staying at a couple of other VRBOs on the island, we love Treasure Chest the best. The location is on the sound side of the island, with beautiful marsh views and sunsets. The cottage has all rhe bells and whistles for a wonderful stay. But dont tell anyone about the the magic of Ocracoke; lets just keep it our secretVRBOVRBOs

The home is the right size for two. Very clean and plenty of extras ie. paper products. Easy access to the water. We enjoyed our stay as who knew the winds would make you want to be inside versus outdoors. Highly recommend the rental. We will be back.

What a wonderful little getaway!

Right on the tip end of Springer’s Point Nature Preserve, and a stone’s throw from the inlet, this is the perfect getaway for two. Big, comfy bed, nice bathroom, right-sized living room with dining table and kitchen, peace and quiet; it’s all you need. And the screen porch overlooking the marsh and open water is just amazing. We did a lot of our own cooking in the kitchen. The management does a fantastic job of cleaning out stuff left behind, so don’t expect to find the usual four jars of paprika and thirty-leven other spices - bring your own stuff. The Ocracoke Variety Store (grocery store, singular) is surprisingly well-stocked, but you can’t count on it having everything you want, so think about what you like to have on hand when you cook, and bring it with you. Plan ahead - you can’t expect to run out and grab everything you need. Otherwise, you’ll be set. And this side of the village is a walker’s paradise! I shouldn’t recommend Treasure Chest so highly, as it will probably make it harder to reserve, but for a lovely and peaceful getaway, you can’t go wrong.

Great place with a great view is the water. Easy access to a lake side beach also. There is a little disparity in a sunset view; the sunset is only visible from one small portion of the screened in porch. The side that would have the best view has wood over the screen.

Best View!

We loved staying at the Treasure Chest! The house is perfect for a couple. The bed is super comfy. The air conditioning is great (we have stayed at some houses where the air seems to never get cool enough). There is a lot of foot traffic on this road but you don’t notice when you are in the house. Most of our inside time was spent on the porch overlooking the sound. I thought the laundry being at a different location would be an inconvenience but we made the best of it. It takes about an hour and a half to do two loads and we used that time to explore the area around the lake. The people at the Inn were super nice. We will definitely stay at the Treasure Chest again!!

Why they chose this property

As defined by Merrian Webster: "Treasure Chest":a large box that is filled with gold, silver, jewels, etc. —often used figuratively. This holds true for this lovely, 2nd floor apartment. This place offers so many "gems": tucked in a quiet, residential neighborhood, with unparalleled views of the sound, and fully loaded amenities, It's the perfect place for a romantic getaway, or a quiet spot for rest and relaxation...away from it all, perfectly private, yet close to the best things the island has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Offering ultimate privacy and comfort, with spectacular views of the sound. Within steps of Springer's Point Nature Reserve, yet close to all restaurants, shops, bars and island attractions...and, of course, minutes away from the 12 miles of pristine beach, that Ocracoke is famous for.
