The property was very clean and was very pet friendly. The an available golf cart was very convenient and not offered at all rentals. Very close to the beach access points and the grocery store. The host was very accommodating and friendly. This was our second time renting this property and we are hoping to rent again next year.

Derek's home was fantastic to stay at once again! This time around we had a group of friends with us and the house was perfect for five adults, a baby, and two dogs. Derek is also a great VRBO host who is prompt to respond to messages, and is just a really kind dude who we were lucky to meet while we were on the island this time around. I already have recommended his VRBO to others and will certainly continue to do so!

We had a wonderful stay at Derek’s place! There isn’t anything you could possibly need that isn’t in this home awaiting you. It was going to be colder weather, than we had originally anticipated, so Derek went out of his way to ensure the gas fireplace and heat was working perfectly for us upon our arrival. He truly went above and beyond, with all his recommendations and special touches, to ensure we had the perfect stay! Thank you for everything Derek!

Derek was very communicative giving great detail up front to ensure we came in prepared properly (for the ferry situation, coffee, etc…). He was incredibly responsive to questions and gave us some great recommendations. Everything was walkable and the golf cart was a HUGE plus! I would highly recommend Marshmellow to anyone looking for some time on Ocracoke Island!!

Great place to stay!

Marshmellow is the perfect name for this house. It is located on a street in a quiet neighborhood. It’s a little further out, but the beauty of Ocracoke is that even the further out houses are only a mile or two from town. The house was clean and perfect for a family of four!
