The Bragg-Tolson house provided our family with a lovely lodging experience on Ocracoke. The combination of historic home coupled with modern touches and gorgeous wood throughout made our stay especially meaningful. The quiet location, large back deck area, and dock access added to our overall experience. We hope to stay in this beautiful house again in the future!

Entertained International friends in Ocracoke

We had to book on short notice, because our friends party was larger than expected. The property was perfect. It maintains the charm of Ocracoke, but feels warm and contemporary. It was perfect.
