IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
* The cottage is small and the stairway to the loft bedroom is narrow and steep. This cottage is not recommended for folks who have difficulty with climbing steps or struggle with health issues.
* The view is incredible from the cottage, but the sea wall is protected by large rocks. There is no dock. It is not recommended that you access the water here. If you do swim in the sound, water shoes are recommended to protect your feet from the occasional sharp seashells.

About Teresa Martin
An avid traveler and athlete all my life, my husband and I explored the Outer Banks with our children and found Ocracoke Island. We loved it, bought a piece of land there for family vacations and since then my daughter has become a long time local of the village. My daughter manages the cottage and in 2015 we completed renovations to secure the seawall, raise the cottage higher on pilings, cedar paneled the new enclosure and updated the kitchen. We hope to share this sweet cottage with responsible travelers who love the ocean, the outer banks and respect the beauty of this charming island.
Teresa Martin purchased this Cottage in 1970
Why Teresa Martin chose Ocracoke
With a beach front yard on the Sound Side of the island you can step right into the sound to swim, fish, dig for clams and catch some crabs for dinner. Enjoy watching the ferry come and go out toward the horizon and be mesmerized by the blazing glory of sunset every day. Kayak around the north shore and explore the island wild life. You can stroll to shops and eateries, or ride a bike all over town. There are plenty of bike rental places that offer daily and weekly rentals. Enjoy live music and peaceful coffee shops. The beaches are alive with nature and the dunes are protected treasures. There is history too, as Black Beard the pirate was a regular resident of the island and dramatic story tellers are around to thrill you. But the best is just drifting off to the sound of the lapping waves in the comfort of the cozy cottage.
What makes this Cottage unique
Water front property is rare and expensive to rent on Ocracoke Island. Our cottage rents at an affordable price and is a hidden gem. Water front property, off street parking, quiet neighborhood, laid back island life. Talented musical theater, great seafood, casual and formal dining, history and glorious beaches.
