"We loved our stay in Southern Comfort. We stayed 3 weeks.
The positives:
1. Wonderful home. Beautiful screened porch overlooking the marsh. Wonderful second screened porch surrounded by Wax Myrtle and Live Oaks.
2. Well stocked and arranged kitchen.
3. OIR was most helpful and responsive at every level.
4. Ancillary services of bikes and golf cart were excellent, responsive, easy to work with.
5. House layout was excellent, well thought out.
6. The Great Egret roost along the creek was without a doubt the highlight of our entire stay on OI. What an incredible sight. We pulled up the rocking chairs on the porch, along with our glasses of wine, and enjoyed the view from start to finish every evening, AND every morning beginning around 6:20am when they would leave. What an experience.
Negatives:
1. For a 1 week stay, the bed mattresses would have been doable. For a 3 week stay, they were awful, in desperate need of replacement. Our backs suffered while there.
2. For a 1 week stay, the heavy smell of urine in both bathrooms would have been doable. For a 3 week stay, it really was bad. We just remembered days as kids in summer camps using latrines; we survived that, we would survive Southern Comfort.
So, I'm giving it a 5/5 rating, because we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, with the above caveats."

"Okay house, nothing too special. Good location on the canal.
Pros: We were able to rent a boat and have it docked at the house, great views from the front porch. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen appliances worked great. We liked the kitchen/living room open floor plan. Great labeling of all the switches!
Cons: Bugs, SO many bugs even after we had them come spray. No yard so not really dog friendly. Not really kid friendly either. Very small driveway. Wish the couches were arranged better so everyone could watch tv. "

"Some of us wish we could live in Ocracoke year-round! No place compares. "
