Finally made it to Ocracoke!!

Property could not have been more perfect!House was larger than expected and clean beyond clean!!! The location was within walking distance to both the Village area and the beach. Having a front porch, back screened in porch and a deck was amazing for a family who loves being outdoors!Can’t wait to book it again

The house is nicely furnished, great location. Beds were very comfortable, screened in back porch was really nice place to avoid the mosquitos. Kitchen was large enough for a couple of people to be cooking together. A couple of kitchen tools that would be good additions - a whisk, more spatulas for non-stick pan. Great amenities otherwise.Front yard was a little muddy after rain, needs a little hardscape work to avoid that

Thank you for this outstanding review! We're thrilled that you loved our cottage "Morning Star"... it is definitely a sweet taste of old Ocracoke, but updated, refreshed and with modern amenities. Thank you for your feedback regarding kitchen utensils...we will take care of that ASAP. Thank you for choosing our island bungalow, and for the fabulous review. Hope to have you visit us again.

House is very nice and clean. Lots of linens. Limited supply of paper supplies so make sure you bring. Location was perfect. Walking distance to pretty much everything. CC required when picking up the keys. Something I never had to do when renting via vrbo.

I am sorry you didnt agree with our policy of requiring a credit card on file for damages or other charges. Tou may find the other VRBO rentals a better fit for you if that is a deal breaker.
