About this property
CanalHouse Private Large Home on Canal Front
CanalHouse is a unique Ocracoke home on the rental market for the first time in 2022. The long time home of an old Ocracoke family, who still owns the property, CanalHouse sits on a canal which leads to Oyster Creek and Pamlico Sound through a picturesque salt water marsh. The large back yard includes many live oak, bald cypress, and cedar trees. Enjoy the exceptional privacy on three large decks, including one on the back of the house with an outdoor shower and one surrounding an outbuilding right on the canal. NO power boat access. CanalHouse is providing full linen service beginning January 1, 2025.
CanalHouse received a major upgrade in conjunction with post-Dorian repairs. There is plenty of room to spread out in the house and outside. The heart of the house is a large room that combines kitchen, dining room and sitting room with TV. There is also a larger living room with sofa, chairs, and TV that adjoins a small sunroom with writing desk. The kitchen is fully equipped with refrigerator, electric range, dishwasher and open shelving to make everything you need easy to find. The house has central heating and AC, WiFi, washer/dryer combination, and cable TV. The smaller bathroom has a standing shower only, the larger has a tub/shower combination. Parking for 2 vehicles is permitted. There is space and electric provided for golf carts. We invite you to enjoy your Ocracoke visit at CanalHouse and hope to see you!
CanalHouse is limited to four people, no pets, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There are two queen beds and one single bed. We provide full linen service.
All guests of CanalHouse are STRONGLY urged to purchase cancellation insurance with your booking through VRBO. Things happen. You want to be protected.
This property is offered by Premier Partner, Debbie Wells, who also manages two other VRBO properties: The Studio, #332656, and SoundHouse, #2203510. All cottages are personally managed and locally owned and operated and feature great locations, clean and functional interiors and competitive pricing. We hope to see you!
