Testimonials

June 2010
What a location! Playground across the street for the kids. Backyard for the dogs and Coffee Shop for us. This is our 5th trip to Ocracoke in the last 18 months. Needless to say, we love it here.
-- Heather, Addison, Jacob and Zella. Bacchus the Bulldog and Potus the Pug

June 2010
We have truly enjoyed our week here on Ocracoke and hate to see it end. "Better Days" made us feel right at home as soon as we got here. The house and location were perfect for spending time with our family and exploring Ocracoke. What a true treasure this house is. As we rode around the island we did not see another rental with the same charm and yard space.
-- Amy, Chad and Scout

May 2010
Well our third time staying at "Better Days." As I told someone, I don't want to speak about the house or it might not be open when we want to come back, because it is such a special find! We've stayed at four other places but "Better Days" is its name.
-- Linda, Ralph and Casey

May 2010
The pictures of the house on the internet do it no justice. It is even more beautiful. Serene, relaxing, gorgeous, nostalgic of beach visits past. I know this will always be our destination for future vacation memories. Thank you for opening up this home to us. We've been going to Ocracoke for six years and decided to bring friends this time to show them what heaven is like. They loved it just like we knew they would. This was the best Ocracoke vacation so far! We'll be back next year.
-- Katie and Friends

July 2009
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at "Better Days" - what a beautiful home! I felt comfortable and pampered here. I have to say one of my most favorite things was the whirlpool tub.

Thank you so much for sharing your home. The decor is beautiful and the overall atmosphere here relaxing (both indoors and out - what a large pretty yard).
-- Kristen, Terry, Caleb, Ethan and Sarah

June 2009
We both love the front porch and spent a lot of time there. The yard is inviting and peaceful. That is one reason we picked this house. I love your decor - wood, metal and natural items. The art is beautiful. Thank you for making our stay here so enjoyable! --

May 2009
Better Days is a great house! Love the whirlpool! "Can't wait to come back, can't wait!" P.S. I almost forgot the starter kit. Great thank you! -- Whiteman

October 2008
Thank you for making your home available to guests! We've had a terrific week here. You've done a terrific job making a comfortable home with great amenities and that tub - after a busy day was just the best! Every time we drive back into the driveway here at "Better Days" I marveled at the lovely trees and charming house facade. Really lovely! -- Boswell

August 2008
Awesome home away from home. Great location - especially being 2 doors from the Coffee Shop. Thanks for "Better Days". --

July 2008
The house is nice and it is the best equipped in the kitchen of any cottage I have stayed in. We love the house and will probably stay again here. The hammock and the whirlpool were favorites also. -- O'Neal, Roberts and Sadler

June 2008
We loved the location of our house since the convenience of everything made for lots of exercise. The tree with the ladder makes for awesome pictures. The house was awesome for our two families to link up and hang for the week. -- The McDonalds
