About this property

Cottage, great for a couple or small family.

This cottage has a wonderful front porch for enjoying sitting outside and relaxing. The view is of Teeters campground. It was renovated in 2018 and a second bedroom was added in 2019. It is a two bedroom (queen in the master and bunk beds in the other)we do NOT provide sheets, one bath, open floor plan with living room and kitchen. The kitchen is very basic, if you are planning to cook gourmet meals, this is NOT the place for you. Ocracoke has many wonderful restaurants. The location is within walking distance to Silver Lake and the shops and restaurants and is spitting distance from the British Cemetery. The beach is a mile from the rental. There is a Smart TV in the first bedroom and living room with internet and cable. You will need your own Netflix, Hulu or Amazon account, and for those that are not tech savvy, we have cable. 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. 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.

Great place to stay

This was a very nice cottage for my wife and I and our little dog. It's very clean and well kept and had everything that we needed for our stay in Ocracoke. There was a golf cart at the house that we rented from the owners and it got us where we wanted to go around town. We'll be staying here again.

Great homebase for a long stay on Ocracoke

Ellen and Russ were fantastic and super friendly! The location of this cottage could not be beat. It is within walking distance of everything in the village. The cottage had everything we needed for our week-long stay and was nicer than the pictures give credit to.

Lovely place to stay

Our vacation was unfortunately cut short by Hurricane Florence, but the one night we were able to stay was very enjoyable. This is a perfect place for a couple or small family. The area is quiet a peaceful and the home is well stocked with plates, cooking utensils, etc. We plan to come back in the future.

Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay. The host was communicative and being able to book last minute was easy. Plenty of room for us and in a great quiet location. Being able to sit on the large porch and drink coffee in the mornings was a plus! Plenty of windows to open or close depending if you want to enjoy the sunshine or enjoy privacy! Thank you for allowing us to your home! A little piece of paradise!

Sweet stay

A great little cottage at a great price. Nicely located to walk everywhere. Kitchen had everything we needed when we did cook in. We did not take advantage of it but there is a cart right on site. Our only complaint was the living room TV. The only channel we were able to get was PBS.

Our second stay

This was our second July 4th stay at The Buccaneer and won't be the last. Everything from my last year's review still applies. But beyond that, if nothing else tells you the overall satisfaction of a customer, it's when a customer returns (and takes time to write about it). Thanks Russ & Ellen, Bill

Cute and convenient

This was our first time staying on the island and we were there for a family event. The Buccaneer was the perfect size for 2 - 4 people. We rented their golf cart to get around the island and had a great time driving around. We also were lucky with the weather and got 3 great beach days. I knew going down there was not a full kitchen. The convection stove was difficult to cook on and there is no oven / dishwasher. If being able to cook is important to you be aware of these difficulties. Otherwise it was fine.

It was a very nice stay, regardless of the Noreaster! We have never come this late in the season and it was very peaceful. No crowds! We didn't get to do everything we wanted because of the storm, but we were very cozy in the house. It hardly made any noise. Very sturdy. If it wasn't for seeing the blowing rain out the patio door, you would never have known it was storming. It was nice that we could also bring our dog. And having a golf cart on premises to rent was also a bonus!

About the host

Hosted by Ellen or Russ Grant

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 that loves Ocracoke. We live on a small farm in NC with our 3 dogs and 6 fainting goats. Our goat Yoshi is in the photo, trying to get to the top of the hay bale.

Why they chose this property

The Buccaneer is not much to look at on the outside, but once you walk in it is clean, homey, and beautifully decorated. A local spent the winter choosing just the right everything to make the Buccaneer perfect. The property was formally my children's favorite shop on the island, Candyland.

What makes this property unique

This cottage is was renovated in 2018 and has a wonderful front porch that will allow you to enjoy the beautiful outdoors.
