"Loved our stay. LOVED. Felt like an old family beach house, we'd been visiting for years. So comfortable. NO problem with beds for our week long stay! Super clean upon arrival. We adjusted a bit of lighting and angle of chairs to our liking, felt right at home. Plenty of extra blankets and pillows. Kitchen was especially comfortable, had everything we needed. It is an old fishermans cottage make no mistake, but just the vibe you want on Ocracoke. Right in the middle of everything but quiet, peaceful tucked back behind and next to what looked like full time Ocracoke dwellers. Was just so chill. Outside shower and screened in porch were primo. Going back next summer!"
