Bummer is right! As much as we love our home, it will be hard to leave this one. We had great weather for most of the week. The beach driving was well worth the extra fuel we burned bringing an SUV. My family and I really enjoyed the house. I am going to have to install a theatre into my house for my wife now. The screened porch is awesome for any time of the day. I know that these stairs did my family's legs some good! You'll get use to them. We have enjoyed Ocracoke Island for years, but "Solitude" gave it a nice spin. We'll be back! -- The Lam Family

August 2010
The owners of "Solitude" take great attention to outfitting their home with amentities to make their guests happy and comfortable . Everyone was greatly entertained our one rainy day by the game and theatre rooms. One clear night we all sat on the roof deck and observed shooting stars, constellations, the Milky Way and even satellites passing through the night sky. The adults in our party greatly enjoyed the ice machine and whipping up pina coladas in the margarita machine. "Solitude" is unquestionably the nicest home on the island! -- Stacey

May 2010
We all had an amazing week! We will be back! -- The Carters

October 2009
Our second time at Solitude! Even better than the 1st! Thanks for all the new cookware - I felt like an iron chef in your beautiful kitchen. We had a very nice treat this week. After coming to Ocracoke for 13 years - we actually got to see the inside of the lighthouse!! It was such a treat - very beautiful. We had some bad weather, cold and rainy, but thanks to Solitude we still had a lot of fun. We will be back. Have a great week and be sure to relax! -- The Smiths

Wow! We've been coming to Ocracoke for the past 3 years and this house is by far our favorite. We're already planning next year's vacation @ Solitude! This house had everything to offer, was extremely clean and don't even get us started on the Theater room! Many nights were spent in there watching our favorite films. Every morning was a dream waking up in "Solitude". The weather was perfect, only one cloudy day and it never rained. Nevertheless, we still got to take full advantage of the house and its amenities. The Margarita Machine served us well! We loved all the big TV's and spent a lot of time on the numerous and spacious decks. What views from the top! Can't wait to come back! -- The Starsman

May 2009
Two weeks on the island!! A first for us after coming for 25 years. The comfort Solitude affords us is incredible! Lots of marvelous warm days at the beach and when the rain did come… who cared? We are Wii addicts… hot tub was well used… a Margarita maker WOW!!! Experimented with a few- recommend the "Slide" Thank you so much for sharing this marvelous house. We enjoyed every square inch of it! -- The Stulls and The Masons

April 2009
Second year at Solitude! Weather was "iffy". Some good, some not so good. Thanks for sharing this great place. We feel like this is our second home. -- The Lanes

It's time to leave, which no one wants to. We had another great week on Ocracoke! The weather was GREAT! The house was GREAT! It's been over 30 years that we have been coming and it never gets old. Bye House, Bye Beach, Bye Ocracoke until next year!
-- The Ayers, Harrell, Duckles & Cromer Families

October 2008
This week at Ocracoke was wonderful. We have been coming to Ocracoke for 12 years. Solitude was by far the most luxurious house we have ever stayed in. So beautiful and so much to do. The beds were very comfy, the theatre room was indescribable-really a lot of fun. The margarita mixer was fun to use and the hot tub, games, hammock, etc. We were never bored. We did manage to get out and enjoy the island. We spent almost every day at the beach for hours playing in the water, collecting shells and just relaxing. Our children couldn't get enough. Bike riding was fun. Basketball out front was fun too. Once again-we will leave in the morning but part of our hearts remain on this enchanted island. We had another family here with us-they had fun too! -- The Smith Family

September 2008
What a wonderful house! The endless levels tired us all out, especially the little ones! Thanks! We had fabulous weather, loved every inch of the island and beaches! Thanks for a wonderful place to call "home" for the week!
-- The Blake Family

August 2008
Love everything about the house. All of us enjoyed the movie room. The game room provided some good hours of family competition. Did enjoy the East-West upstairs deck and got some of the best sun rays ever. Sunny all week, some rain at night. Waves were outstanding for bodysurfing. The home allowed us all to relax together or in our own space. This is our 2nd year in a row to Ocracoke and we will likely return.
-- Fudala Family

July 2008
We had a great time this week at Solitude but my husband is especially bummed. We are in the process of finishing our family room in Cincinnati and I now have tons of great ideas for making it more comfortable. I love the bookcases with the fireplace and big screen TV and we'll duplicate this at our home. We also loved the wine fridge and ice maker. I also see a margarita machine from Santa this Xmas! We'll be back next year if my husband can afford it after putting in all our toys just like Solitude's.
See ya next year! P.S. Yeah it's a long way to come but well worth the trip! -- Daisy Morton

July 2008
Dear Solitude,
At last my "dream house". We spent 2 great weeks here with family and friends. This house was always the center of attention. A great 2 weeks of beach. I rode my 3 wheel bike a lot, the kids loved the freedom they had. This is our 8th year coming down here and hopefully many more. -- The Breure Family

July 2008
This by far is the nicest home we have rented here on Ocracoke. We have been coming for over 20 years. We love Ocracoke.
-- Pawley & Hodges Families

June 2008
I must say I am on this Island for the 4th visit and by far Solitude takes the cake…This house is absolutely beautiful. Spacious and very well equipped for anything. Our family is upset that its time to go home but I've reassured them we will be back next year for sure. Kudos to the most beautiful & comfortable home on the Island of Ocracoke. Thank you for sharing your home -- Renninger, Shrem & Ball Families

May 2008
Do we have to leave? This was a wonderful house! We were pleased to have the wind and rain for a day or two so that we had an excuse to stay in! Wonderfully decorated and extremely comfortable accommodations-best on the island, in our opinion. Hopefully, we'll be back next year! -- Eddie, Heather, Nicolas & Ella Jett

May 2008
What a wonderful week on Ocracoke! The weather was beautiful with only 1 rainy day. We have enjoyed a week full of good food, playing in the sand and plenty of great memories to take home with us. Our family has enjoyed returning to Ocracoke year after year and this house is by far the best we have stayed in. Our 19 month old loved the bunk bed-first time out of her crib- and our 4 month old was just as happy sleeping with mom and dad on the cozy king bed. We are already looking forward to returning next year! -- David, Meredith, Caroline & Claire

May 2008
End of second year for the McCumseys! Once again - Bummer! I have a hard time going home after one week in this house on this island!! I did manage to do almost everything this house had to offer. Made Margaritas in the fancy machine, made use of the hot tub several times, used the whirlpool tub while watching TV! Sat out on the decks, watched TV in bed, almost beat my youngest in foosball, and we all put the jigsaw puzzle together that I bought and am donating to the house! Hit all the shops at least once, went to the beach 3X, Howards 2X, got beads from the Bead Store and made 2 necklaces, Guys went out fishing 2X, caught lots of mullet (yum!) and slept like babies on those ultra comfy beds! See you next year! Oh! Thanks for putting up the basketball goal! -- McCumsey

April 2008
Going home - Bummer! We are quite happy where we are! What an awesome house! Best we have every stayed in! It is a gorgeous home away from home and a great place for kids (and adults). We will be back. --

The home is beautiful. We appreciate all the details to make it so nice. The media room is a nice touch, but our favorite part is the openness of the upstairs. Thank you for a lovely home to stay. -- The Mayes

March 2008
The Lane family had a wonderful time at Solitude. The house is beautiful and so comfortable. Thanks for sharing your house. The hot tub felt great with the cold breeze. We will return. --
