Soundhouse is a sweet, vintage cottage on the usually quiet North Pond with it’s own sandy beach. SoundHouse has been owned by the same local family since 1972. The owner resides nearby. It features a shady front porch and a back porch with a great beautiful waterfront view, including your own little sandy beach. Great for kayaking, paddle boarding, an easy walk to ferry, museum, restaurants, shopping and “downtown” waterfront with fabulous sunset views. Limited to four people, no pets, 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 2 queen beds, one twin, a large open plan kitchen, dining and living area. There is an outdoor shower and washer/dryer, but experience old Ocracoke by washing your dishes by hand, no dishwasher! Parking for two vehicles. Enjoy the soundside beach but please respect neighbor’s beachfront property lines, it’s not a community beach. We DO NOT allow powered or sailboats tied up or moored by guests of SoundHouse. This is strictly enforced. Smoking is not allowed inside SoundHouse. Smoking is allowed outside in the yard only. Events and large parties are NOT allowed in SoundHouse.

A great beachfront on the sound, on a deep yard. Beds are very good and the kitchen pretty well-equipped. A cosy and comfortable summer cottage, far enough off the beaten to path to enjoy quiet and privacy, but just a short (less than 10 minutes) stroll to shops and restaurants. Highly recommend!

I can’t imagine being able to enjoy Ocracoke to the fullest without renting this lovely cottage. My husband and I loved sitting on the private beach area behind the house, with its clear, shallow water, each day. We would collect beautiful shells out of the water -which were always already claimed by little hermit crabs. We’d each pick three and set them on the beach and then laugh our heads off to see who’s racers made it back into the water first! We are easily entertained. . Then we’d ride our rented golf cart all over the island -everything so easily assessable. We had to drive our regular car to get to various large beaches but that was always fun, too. This house is in the absolute perfect location to enjoy everything. Debbie is quick to respond and so kind. I can not recommend this place more. We loved every inch of it.

Kewl spot near the sound and walkin' distance to stuff

This spot is great for anyone, but perhaps especially families, as there's a calm private beach area for kids to swim in and walkin' distance to the action is very straightforward.

Amazing Location

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The location was just perfect. Having the sound right outside our back door to look at and kayak and paddleboard in was awesome. It was also an easy walk or bike ride to anything in town.

Some of the best sound-side action you'll find on Ocracoke

This spot is nice, clean, has everything you need, butts up against the sound, is in a great location, etc. You and your kids will totally dig it.
