The property is in a great location. Unfortunately it has not had any updating in decades. The kitchen is a mix match of all things. There is a complete hodge podge of dishes. Pot and pan selection is less than adequate. Utensils are less than complete. The charcoal grill is rusted through and not usable. The house could use some love.

May 2016 Stay

absolutely love Ocracoke and Ocracoke realty! we have been to the obx 4 times. for 2 times we stayed on hatteras and then just visited Ocracoke. the last 2 times we have stayed on the island and it had been the best ever. highly recommend renting golf carts and being a4x4 and getting a pass to drive on the beach. our kids have loved both of those things and it has made a stay even more awesome!

Island Getaway

The house was very quaint and perfect for what we were looking for. We had one issue with the property and communicated this with the Realtor already. This was quickly addressed. Everyone was so nice to work with. So happy to have found this wonderful place to stay. Felt very “homey”.
