About this property

The Lucky Buc-Pet friendly cottage perfect for a couple or small family.

This property is ideal for a couple or a small family. It has a queen bed(sheets are NOT provided), and pull out cot. The Lucky Buc adjoins the Buccaneer. There is a privacy fence separating the two, but a gate to open up if renting The Buccaneer with family or friends. We are located 0.1 mile from Zillie's, 0.3 mile from the Community Square on HWY 12 and 2.1 miles from the lifeguard beach.

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. f 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.

We had a wonderful visit and enjoyed our stay very much at Lucky Buc. We will definitely use this Vrbo in the future and have to say that we wanted to bring the mattress from the bed home with us. We slept better than we have in a very long time. The hosts were remarkable and we appreciate everything.

We have gotten more comments on the Lucky Buc mattress, than any other one. It is a Zinus memory foam bought off Amazon. I have bought the same mattress for the other units, and have not gotten the same comments. Maybe they sent a better version by accident. Ellen

It was really the perfect place for a couple with a dog. Plenty of room with bedroom and living\dining room well separated. Fulll kitchen. Comfy bed. Really enjoyed the fenced patio with the outdoor shower so you can wash the beach off your and your dog's feet and dry off outside in nature. The whole town is within walking distance from here. Hope to go back soon when the weather is better for Star gazing.

Perfect size for two of us and a dog. Cozy cabin was very comfortable. Kitchen was fine. No washer or dryer so you will need to pack the clothes for the time you are there. Hosts were very nice to us and we have already booked for next year. Two key features that we liked. The place was private and located on a no-through street so traffic was limited. Some of the other roads in Ocracoke have way too much traffic-even in April. However, the best thing was the location. It is a short walk to the harbor, dining and shops. There is a golf cart you can rent but really the best bet is to take or rent a bike and get a little exercise. Unless you are driving out to the beach you should never need to use your car.

A good value and very convenient to everything. A bit cramped for us - very large furniture - but was comfortable. The AC was cold and the internet connection was fast but we never could figure out how to find what we wanted to see on tv. We could not find any instructions on how to find our favorite network shows on the ROKU tv. That was really frustrating.: someone needs to Suggestion needs to take a hammer to the dozens of nails that are popping up on the deck. They are both uncomfortable and dangerous.
