About this property

The Charter House formally known as The Charter Room. A 3 bedroom house for rent

Cozy three bedroom house. This use to be an apartment is attached to our family home in Ocracoke, but we have moved out and opened the entire house. The part designed as a mother-in-law suite has a queen size bed(sheets are not provided) and a roll out single cot. Cable TV 32 inch flat screen and wireless internet in the master suite. Small eating table in the front room and a full bathroom with a large outdoor shower. You even have your own deck. The main part of the house is accessible through the laundry room. The main part of the house has an open floor plan and two bedrooms and a bathroom. Pets are allowed for an additional $50. If you want to do early check in there is an additional $45 fee. It is extra added stress for our cleaners to have everything ready for those that get here on an early ferry. Normal check in time is 3:30 pm and check out time is 11:00. If you want to check out late it is a $100 fee.

We do NOT post on Craigslist, so if you see it there, it is not us renting it. We only go through VRBO/Home Away.

We do not offer refunds for weather related cancellations, ferry issues, or illness. We highly recommend that you purchase optional travel insurance.

Nice little beach cottage

This property had almost everything you need. We were traveling from Oregon so we’re a little unhappy we had to buy sheets, towels just for a two night stay. This has always been provided in any short term rental we have booked, it should be required. Great location and parking. Very close to everything.

Charter Room was adequately spacious for two people. The shower stall was very nice. There was plenty of silverware and dinnerware in the kitchen. We really liked the back deck for hanging wet clothes and rinsing. We really enjoyed the stay!

Quick Getaway

We booked this property for a quick trip and had a great time. The property is easy to access and has an outdoor shower that was perfect for us coming off the beach. The property managers were very helpful. We saved money renting a golf cart on-site and used a ratchet strap from our truck to secure our car seat for our three-year old. We’d recommend this property and would stay here again.

Quaint & Cozy

We love Ocracoke, been on and off for many years! The Charter Room had all the amenities we needed. Golf cart rental through the place was also an easy process, and we enjoyed the usage. On a quiet street just off the main area of the village. Close to everything. The rooms were very neat and the cleanliness was outstanding. Thanks for having us!

Fantastic location and stay

Ellen and Russ met us when we arrived and made sure we could access the rental. And we were warmly greeted by their dog, noodles. Ellen made us feel like long lost neighbors that were reunited. It made for a wonderful weekend. The rental has alit of charm and comfort.

Perfect weekend crash pad

Stayed at the Charter Room this past weekend. Room was private, clean, and simple — which was all we needed. Communication before our stay was prompt and professional. Location was perfect, check-in was a breeze, golf cart was ready to go when we got there, and our hosts were so sweet! Enjoyed chatting with them from our respective porches while their dog, Noodles, joined us on ours for happy hour. If you’re in Ocracoke to enjoy Ocracoke and just need a quiet place to rest between outings, this is your spot! Big thanks to Ellen and Russ!

Great for one or two people and a small child. Had everything I needed, plus. Very comfortable bedroom. New AC worked great. The owners were very responsive. And they have golf carts on site for rent. I would gladly rent at this property again.

About the host

Hosted by Ellen or Russ Grant

Host profile image
Been off and on Ocracoke since I was a child. Growing up there in the summers. Have many friends there and spend as much time as I can on the island. I live in a small farming community and am also a farmer. Would like to retire to Ocracoke someday...that story was written a few years back. When Covid hit we moved to Ocracoke and lived here. It has been a wonderful experience. Our son graduated from Ocracoke School and we have loved living on the island full time. But we are now working on the retired portion of our life and decided that traveling would be a fun thing to do. So, you may or may not see us on Ocracoke!

What makes this property unique

We tried to make it similar to a nice hotel room to be familiar to everyone. Now the Charter Room, is open as a 3 bedroom house. This place is close to everything. If you like visiting Ocracoke you know about the local restaurants and bars. Golf carts are popular and for rent everywhere, even on site. Biking, clamming, shelling and fishing are just a few activities to do in Ocracoke.
