About this property

Pearl is a Hidden Gem in the Village. When you enter you will see the main house to the right. You will enter the Kitchen area of our home. The kitchen offers an open concept to the living and dining area so that as the "resident chef" you can feel included in all the conversation with your friends and family. As you will see the Kitchen has a center island for the sink and dishwasher.

The living space offers all new furniture such as the pull out sofa (Queen) with lovely, crisp cotton sheets. You will be able to enjoy Netflix on the new Roku TV, but, as always, why watch TV when you can be out enjoying the Ocracoke views !!

There are 2 bedrooms for you to choose from. The one on your left as you enter the hallway is a brand new Beauty Rest Double bed with a lovely antique Pine dresser. The ceiling fan and mini-split heat pump will ensure that you or your guest sleep well at their own temperature.

The bedroom to the right, the Master, features a new Beauty Rest Queen bed, with cooling mattress cover. Also noted in the room for your sleeping comfort is a ceiling fan and your own mini-split heat pump as well. The 2 antique old English Pine dressers are here for you to place. your belongings in so that it feels just like home !

The center hall bathroom has just experienced a "from the sand up" renovation, all the while saving as much of the original structure as we could. We know that you will love the original Bead Board ceilings and new Ship Lap walls !! What are our 2 favorite features in the bathroom??? The deep Cast Iron soaking tub and the electric wall heater !! We know this will give you hours of enjoyment as you rest after a busy day exploring the wild beaches of Ocracoke !!

And the porch !!!! What an absolute delight you will experience with the large sofa and swing !! The wide expanse of the porch is perfect for early morning coffee and late night chats with those you have allowed to come with you on this adventure.

Our personal favorite is the outdoor shower --- After enjoying an outdoor shower you will have a hard time going inside to shower. With overhead coverage in case of rain or chilly weather, the full door gives your most modest guest to enjoy the experience. One thing to be mindful of with the pipes in this historic home, someone might get chilly if both showers and dish washer are running at the same time.

All of the yard space are yours to enjoy ! The fenced in yard is perfect for any gathering, including your pet. We do ask that all pet waste is removed from the yard as no one wants to put a toe into anything left behind!

Can you see yourself in our cottage? We can, as long as you promise to be neat, tidy and respectful of a place that is so dear to us !

Decompress Success

The property was soooo cute! Well appointed, and had everything we needed. Just a little put off by construction in front and in the back. But not your fault. We get that off-season work is being done. Also, didn't realize so many shops were still closed. Also, not your fault! And the ferry was delayed due to weather when we were trying to g get home in a timely fashion. Again, NOT your fault. Would definitely stay again!

Just as Ocracoke should be

If you want to experience Ocracoke as it is intended, this property is perfect. It has all the amenities with a great location and just far enough off of the beaten path to be private. The property was spotless and well cared for. The host could not have been more communicative. The description of the property was precise and left little to chance. I will likely be booking this property again for next year.

Ocracoke stay

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Came for my cousin’s wedding, with my partner and my sister. Was very clean, very comfortable, and absolutely adorable. My partner and I are already planning a stay in the spring and would definitely book this home again!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Rosecrans

I am a mother of 6 with a career in administrative nursing. When not working at the hospital I am working with my family to grow our environmentally sustainable farm in the heart of North Carolina on our 13th generation farm. We love to travel and normally incorporate our work and/or farming with travel opportunities. Our home in Ocracoke is a newer edition to our family, but our experiences vacationing the island go back 40+ years. Our family is honored to allow other families our homes and such a special vacation spot.

Why they chose this property

On Ocracoke Island, you'll find miles and miles of pristine, undeveloped—and, best of all, uncrowded—beaches for you to enjoy. The Grey Pearl (named Fantasea in the 1970s) was built in 1936 for one of the original families on the island, the Williams family. Very typical of an Ocracoke cottage, Fantasea is located in the heart of the Village and everything is within walking distance. If you know Ocracoke, you know that houses are almost always in close proximity to each other, and "Pearl" is no different, but offers privacy fences and mature trees to give a sense of seclusion from the rest of the island. Many original islanders on don't even know it is there !! The very large lot gives 2 very spacious yard areas perfect for outdoor dining, picnics, and space for children and pets to play.

What makes this property unique

There are many things that make Pearl stand out from other Cottages on the island.
*Central location : It is a 3 minute walk to Silver Lake. 4 minute bike ride to the most perfect book store ever- Books to be Red. 3 minute bike ride to Ocracoke Coffee. 6 minute bike ride to Ocracoke Lighthouse. 6 minute walk to the most perfect restaurant ever, Dajiou !!! AND needing a bit of an evening get away? Tuck the kids in the bed early and walk 3 minutes to Zillies for an evening sip and snack !!!!
