The house sits in the middle of our little island 30 miles off the mainland accessible only by ferry boat or airplane.
There are 3 ferry lines that service this island. Cedar Island, Swan Quarter and Hatteras. Cedar Island and Swan Quarter vehicle ferries require reservations and a small fee (see the NC Ferry Reservations website to reserve your date and time). The Hatteras vehicle ferry is free and first-come, first-serve. You may have to wait in line at Hatteras. The schedule for all ferries and reservations for Cedar Island and Swan Quarter are on the NC Ferry website (ferry.ncdot.gov)
No franchises are allowed on island so most businesses are locally owned. Restaurants get their fresh seafood directly from the local fishermen daily.
There are various festivals and special events throughout the season. Check out the Ocracoke Observer community newspaper website or Facebook page for up to date information on restaurant openings/closings and special events.

About the host
Hosted by Kelly and Ron Gardner
We are born and raised in North Carolina. We love the beach and the mountains. Ocracoke is like a second home and we love sharing this little piece of heaven with others.
Why they chose this property
The house is one street off the main road but still within walking distance of so many restaurants and shops. Easy access without all the traffic coming past the house.
What makes this property unique
You are likely to see a few of the famous Ocracats near the house as we have a small colony close by. While they are not always open to attention, it is always a treat to see them. There are 5 restaurants, 2 food trucks and a brewery within 5 minutes walking distance of the house. The back of the Sweet Tooth candy shop and Fig Tree deli are almost directly across the street from us. The grocery store is across the main road which is also within 5 minutes walking.
