Fall Fun

I have been going to Ocracoke for 50+ years with my family and have stayed at so many properties. This one was spectacular! The views are wonderful from the main area and also the rooftop. The kitchen is well stocked and communication and the check in process was seamless. Highly recommend.

10/10 all around, some properties look great in pictures, but don't live up, this place is immaculate. Communication with owner was great, house was spotless clean. I would highly recommend bringing your own mattress pad for Master king, unless you like sleeping on a rock.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about our time here. The home was thoughtfully designed with water views from every room. Great little sandy beach in the back for fishing and kayaking, extremely clean, and well stocked. We can’t wait to get back!

Beautiful home with stunning 360 view

This is a stunning home on a quiet street, comfy beds and furniture, and very helpful host. The cargo lift is genius! We enjoyed watching the sunrises and sunsets from the rooftop patio each day. Visited in the off season when most things were closed but the Variety Store and the well equipped kitchen served us well. We highly recommend this property and hope to return again.

We all enjoyed your incredible home. We brought our own bikes and rode them everywhere....including down the beach. The outdoor shower and hoses came in handy for rinsing off after our activities.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Phillips

Host profile image
Our first trip to Ocracoke was the year we met in 1981. We fell in love with each other and the island, never thinking we would someday own a home with the dream of someday living there. Currently working in Raleigh with 2 kids recently out of college, we escape in either direction - to the island and to the NC mountains (check out our Blowing Rock listings #486190 and #1182504.). We look for folks who also share an appreciation of Ocracoke and would enjoy staying in an island home on a sandy beach that captures times past. Our hope is that you will feel part of this community.
