Why they chose this property

"Dad's Retreat" is one of those quaint, older island homes that you read about in novels. It's the perfect blend of old and new: it has the charm of the traditional cedar-shaked cottage, with the conveniences of a modern home. There is oodles of room and living space, with lots of decks and porches...sit and watch the world go by, or enjoy a glorious view of the lighthouse while sipping coffee. There are so many ways to relax and unwind...

What makes this property unique

This house offers so much...in addition to all the amazing amenities, it also offer a complimentary docking space at the OHI dock. Available upon request with advance reservation. And we have to mention the wonderful view of our lighthouse. It is North Carolina's oldest lighthouse in operation, (and the second oldest in the United States),and is certainly one of the most beloved. At just 65' ft. tall, it is by far the smallest lighthouse on the Outer Banks, but it still towers over the 4 square miles of Ocracoke Village
