Thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed a wonderful stay and that the house was a great fit. We look forward to welcoming you back to Ocracoke soon.Ocracoke Island Realty staff
House was great -- service/communication very effective and easy. Maintenance came promptly when the battery to the lock needed replacement. 2 house comments -- housekeeping was great --no complaints at all, but we gently suggest they also clean the dusty air vents. And we battled with the microwave going on Pause at odd times. Not sure it is functioning well. Thank you!!!- Reviewed On: 10/27/2025

Excellent location and a very comfortable cottage, "Long Way Home". Only complaint is that there are no instructions on the refrigerator or elsewhere about operating the Roku TV. Please provide. When I selected "Live TV" I could not get any live sports. Nice that an individual came from maintenance, but he left me a note to go to "Live TV", which I already knew.- Reviewed On: 9/29/2025

We stayed at "Long Way Home" NP03 in June of 2024 and were very pleased with our stay. The house was very nice and the views were outstanding. The rental company was very easy to work with and very responsive. We had no issues and would recommend this property for anyone looking for great water views (especially sunsets) and a quite neighborhood. Owners left a nice welcome card upon our arrival.

Great week on the Island! The house was clean and comfortable as it was last year. A couple of suggestions: blinds on the dining room and kitchen door for privacy from deck next door. Also, the AC filter looks like it hasn't been changed in years!! Otherwise, great!- Reviewed On: 10/24/2023
