UT16: Off The Beaten Path

"Regular size coffee pot would be nice also the ceiling fan on the porch did not work "

"Great house"

"House smelled/felt damp. Outdoor shower could use a good power washing. Otherwise house had everything we needed "

"Fine. "

"Nice rental - We arrived at the house and was very clean. It was very comfortable and quite. I would stay there again!"

"Wonderful, as usual!"

"I really liked Off The Beaten Path. I wanted to live there. It was cozy and had everything I needed. I loved the clothesline and clothespins. All appliances worked exceedingly well. Loved the icemaker. Nice water flow in the house. After help from Rene all channels on living room TV were available. I think the owner tried to think of everything to make the house useful as well as enjoyable. I really wanted to applaud the tasteful decor. Loved the living room alcove. Suggestions: I did not use coffee pots. I'd get a newer one. I used a drip coffee filter I brought. I bought a small rug (taking it home) to put in the kitchen at the entryway to get final sand off my feet. Really helped. Yes I used the outdoor shower too. That was great! I washed the bedspread and shams just because that was not done every time a guest changed. While it didn't make a difference to me, vinyl place mats for the dining room table might be nice. Ragpickers had some. I actually started to buy some and leave as a gift. Can you tell I was ready to move in? I want to applaud Ocracoke Realty for its professionalism and helpfulness particularly during the bad weather. Warnings of ferry closings were very useful. Starting with Doreen who helped with reservation all of you were pleasantt, informative, and easy to work with. Thank you for helping to make my stay enjoyable. The village of Ocracoke is special because of its sense of community. That's why I love to visit it. Betty Holladay "

"August 2016 Stay - We LOVED Off the Beaten Path! Location was perfect for us, just far enough out of the way to be quiet but still close to the village. We are super picky about cleanliness, and this place was spotless. We will be back in the future!"

"July 2016 Stay - As always, we had a wonderful and peaceful vacation on Ocracoke Island. Your realty company went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay in the cottage. We loved the cottage and cannot wait for it to be vacation time again!"

Perfect House for Us
This was our first trip back in three years, so we were very excited to be back. We stayed in this adorable house for two weeks this summer. It was the perfect size house for our family of 4. The floor plan is very open and spacious. The house has a lot of supplies in the kitchen. I would have liked a bit more cabinet space for food, but we made due. We spent plenty of time on the porch watching the people/bike/golf cart traffic. There is quite a bit of poison ivy around the house and some of the foliage could be trimmed back a little. Thankfully we avoided getting any rashes. The kids loved the chickens from next door that kept popping over to say “hello”. We hope to return to this house in the future. Thank you for sharing the house with us this summer. "

Amazing Time
The house has been restored after damage caused by Dorian and looks awesome! It is very clean, well furnished and has a fully stocked kitchen. Also has movies, books and games for adults and children. I would highly recommend to a small family. Within walking distance of town, less than 1 mi, and in a very quiet area. Photos on the website were very representative of the property. This is our second time staying here, first in 2018, and we are excited to stay here again."

"August 2017 Stay
Absolutely loved this house. My husband has been coming to the island for 35 years and this was by far the best 2 week vacation. The house was spotless, secluded and quiet. We will be renting again. Thanks OIR. You guys are great."

"July 2017 Stay
This was my 8th trip to Ocracoke. My stay at Off The Beaten Path was amazing. The house was spotless upon arrival and was stocked with everything we needed. The location was close to everywhere we wanted to go but still private and quiet. As always OIR was responsive to the requests we had. I hope to come back and stay here again. "
