About this property

Baby Duck Cottage- A Storybook Island Bungalow Steps from the Lighthouse-3BR/2BA

Tucked down a quiet path near the Ocracoke Lighthouse, Baby Duck Cottage is a lovingly crafted 3-bedroom, 2-bath island home designed for wonder, adventure, and memory-making. This modern reproduction of a classic 1920s bungalow features 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, beadboard paneling, and original-style crystal doorknobs. Each room is decorated with curated local photography and antique treasures — a blend of island history, comfort, and character that whispers stories of the past and invites new ones to unfold.
Inside, you’ll find:
• A peaceful first-floor queen primary bedroom with private ensuite bath
• A cheerful queen guest room with an adjacent full bath
• An upstairs retreat with twin beds, a cozy sitting area— plus the perfect perch for spying a pirate ship gliding across the Pamlico Sound
The open-plan living and dining area flows into a fully equipped kitchen — ideal for gathering over meals and putting together puzzles. Step outside to the screened porch, where the daybed and rocking chairs offer a front-row seat to island life, as long afternoons and slow evenings stretch gently into memory.
Additional amenities include:
• Outdoor shower
• Charcoal grill
• Washer/dryer
• WiFi, TV & Bluetooth Sound System
• Sundeck
• Framed views of the salt marsh
• Sea breezes
• Croaking of frogs at dusk
Centrally located yet peacefully tucked away, Baby Duck Cottage is just a short walk or bike ride to Silver Lake Harbor, Springer’s Point Nature Preserve, the village shops, restaurants, and the iconic lighthouse. The island’s 13 miles of wild, undeveloped beaches are easily accessed by bike or car — perfect for open-air exploring, surf splashing, or finding your own quiet place to sink your toes in the sand.
Whether you’re collecting shells, chasing ghost crabs by moonlight, or sharing stories on the porch as stars appear over the marsh, Baby Duck Cottage is more than a place to stay — it’s a storybook setting where adventures unfold and island memories are made to last.

About the host

Hosted by Bert Clark

We have 2 young children who believe that Ocracoke is the most MAGICAL place on earth!

Why they chose this property

My family has been visiting Ocracoke since the 1970s. I have such great memories of my brother and me playing 'spy' on the ferry, waking up before dawn for a big fishing trip, bumping along South Point road in our 4 wheel drive singing at the top of our lungs. I feel so fortunate to have a home of my own there to give my children the opportunity to make their own memories on this little island.

What makes this property unique

For us, every day starts with coffee on our little screened porch. It reminds us to enjoy the slow pace of island time. It's hard to pass up a morning on the beach building sandcastles, jumping waves and netting minnows with barely another soul in sight. Afternoons are for perfect naps, books and games perhaps followed with a bike ride to get ice cream or a grape nehi. Then it's cocktail time for the adults while children have the freedom to be pirates and make treasure maps until dinner time. Whether evenings take us to great restaurants or to a family meal at our own BABY DUCK, we have fun making memories with our family.
