We loved staying at this 1800’s beach cottage. It was interesting to learn a little about Tom Frank! The cottage was cozy and comfortable. It felt like you were stepping back in time but with all the right modern improvements to make it really comfortable. The location is perfect! So close to everything but really private too. We spent a lot of time on the screened porch. So relaxing! We loved the cottage and plan to return soon! Thank you for sharing it with us!

We had a wonderful week in the TF Gaskins house! It was perfect for our family of four: two adults, a 10-year old, and a 13-year old. The kids got to feel like they each got their own room, and we got our own space downstairs. Things we particularly liked: - the outdoor shower was perfection! - the new, quiet AC units worked wonderfully - the location! Close to so much, yet so quiet and no traffic! - the ducks! So many ducks! - the house history (we read the walking tour excerpt and loved the stories!) and the historical feel of the place. It feels like the funky old Ocracoke I remember from when I came as a kid in the 70s. - the screened porch. and so much more. Thanks for sharing this lovely place! The kids are already asking when we can come back.

Another great week in Ocracoke! We will definitely book with you next year. We loved that our house was within walking distance of everything in the village, and so did Mara, our yellow lab.
