Cottage holiday rentals in Ocracoke Island

The house is beautiful, and the location perfect. It's so nice to be that close to the beach and watch the ocean while having a coffee on the deck in the morning. The house had everything we needed. Jennifer was very responsive and friendly. We just wish we didn't have to worry about towels and linens, it would have made our life easier, but we knew we would have to take care of that from the listing.

Another fantastic Spring Break at the Best Box! The nicest, cleanest, most relaxing rental we’ve ever found. Didn’t think the property could be any better than it was last year, but the owners have managed to make many creative and thoughtful upgrades. Enjoyed days at the beach, days on the sound, chartered a boat for fishing, ate tons of seafood, and saw the best sunsets right from the deck. Literally took advantage of everything in this house - from crabbing to fishing to baggo to flying kites to playing board games to darts and foosball. Oh and kayaking, relaxing in the hammock, and tubing, too.

We had an amazing time perfect place for pets and some relaxing!

Loved my stay !!! Beds were super comfy! And the house was super nice with a 10 min walk to the beach !

this is our fourth stay at Pelican Point and we absolutely love being here. It's a unique property with character, natural beauty, outstanding sunsets and easy access to the ocean. Every night we went out for silent sunset viewings from the bungalow porch or the dock and enjoyed the evening bird life flying overhead, the calls, and the beautiful clouds and colors as the sun sunk into the Pamlico Sound . The spacious kitchen had everything we needed and we had many wonderful meals. Beds are comfy, and loved being able to spread out between two residences. The pool and hottub were great options since it was a bit cold for swimming in early May. Communication with Dawn was quick and seamless if you had a questions for her! A plus vacation rental all around!

We had a great stay! It was awesome being so close to the beach. The provided beach chairs were really nice, but make sure to bring your own umbrella or tent. We loved sitting on the porch and taking in the view over the dunes. The dumbwaiter was super helpful for getting groceries and bags upstairs. Also, the place was very clean. All in all, a great week and we’d definitely come back!

Dare Dream was just as pictured on the photos. The kitchen was amazing and incredibly well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. The proximity to the beach was perfect for us and just what we were looking for.

This place was great. It was just a 2 minute walk to the private beach access which was never super full. The BNB was big enough for my whole family and my dog! Washer and dryers are always nice to have when staying away from home! It was a quiet neighborhood, but stay off the lady next door’s grass. There were a few restaurants to walk to and stores, not to mention a neat little tackle shop with iced coffee!! Our car actually broke down while staying here, so the walkable things were very convenient. She even let us check in 5 hours early because I got check in time wrong. I would love to stay again!

The name speaks true! It really is a beautiful hidden gem in Avon. From its ideal location to everything, to all the amenities the host provide. This location has been the best I’ve had the pleasure of staying at. It made my boyfriend’s birthday weekend and our friends loved it! David & Misty are truly wonderful hosts. Thank you again! 😊

We had a very pleasant stay at Amy’s home nestled in a very quiet and serene sound side neighborhood. We found Just Enough to be more than enough for 2 and a dog! Loved the screened porch and spent almost every evening out there just relaxing and watching the storms on rain days. We were a very short drive to some really great restaurants- loved the sandwiches from Pamlico Deli and steamed shrimp from Tavern 12! Great nearby coffee shops, gift shops, and bakeries (get an Apple Ugly from Orange Blossom!). The jeep rental spot is one road over so that was convenient for our beach off-roading day. For one first time visitor (2 if you count the dog), and one returning to OBX after many years, we couldn’t have been happier with our choice to stay down in Frisco at Just Enough. Highly recommend this rental and we would absolutely return on a future visit to the Outer Banks. Thank you for everything!

We had a great birthday weekend at the Evening Star! We enjoyed taking the paddle boat out on the canal with our dog for the first time- it was an unforgettable experience. It was great to be able to relax in the chairs on the dock in the mornings. The location was great and we enjoyed the short walk to the Dairy Queen and to the beach access. Gisa was a great host and provided a plethora of helpful information and suggestions for our stay! She was also very responsive to our requests for flexible check-in and check-out times. We are very much looking forward to staying at the Evening Star again soon!

The house is nice and we were very comfortable. Plenty of space for two families with kids and pets. The pool is big and the deck is nice with several spots to sit and relax. The beach is huge in this part of North Avon and is rare these days in the outer banks. Highly recommend and would stay here again. No issues

We had a great stay at Out of the Blue. Margot was so responsive and helpful. Perfect location to get to/from beach easily and close to grocery, restaurants. Comfortable home. Would definitely return!

The cottage was charming. The outside area was beautiful. A nice relaxing stay with everything we needed.

We really enjoyed our stay at Taylor’s home! The home’s location to the beach was perfect. It was a short walk away. The amenities she offered for our pup were great. Everything was very clean. Definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a calm place to stay with your dog.

The details about the cottage were thorough, just read them all. It is a local neighborhood with long term families and new purchases across the street. It’s a nice mix, just drive slow and remember you have neighbors. The response from Jacqueline was superb, a nice little cottage for couples, friends, or a small family. Sherry

Lovely home. Very comfortable beds. Plenty of space. Loved our stay there. Highly recommend.

Great location for a slow, beach getaway with my family. We especially enjoyed the lovely, breezy porch and the beautiful, wooded location. Walking to the beach and to the ferry was easy. We appreciated all the extra amenities: beach chairs, puzzles and kitchen equipment. We would probably pack more water for drinking next time, but the little store had everything we needed. The drive onto the island, while truly stunning in many places, reminded us that our country is deeply divided and it will be a relief when the election is over.

Morgan's house is tastefully furnished and full of light. The kitchen is well equipped, beds comfortable, and everything very clean. The beach is very close and was absolutely glorious because we went out of season and although it was sunny and warm there were few people about - only a few locals fishing. The children appreciated all the equipment for building sandcastles. We found some good restaurants open.

My friends and I stayed in Cheryl’s home for a post graduation trip. We loved our time in Salvo and the house offered everything we could need and more. Cheryl is very responsive and her property manager Donna was there if we needed anything. The house comfortably fit 9 people and the kitchen was well supplied with dishes. The beach was a short walk away and the town of Salvo is quiet and cute. I would recommend Cheryl’s house if you’re looking for a quiet get away.

We enjoyed our stay! Everything was great from location, cleanliness and ease of checking in and out. Dylan was a great host and we will return!

The Blue Mere was a wonderful place to hang for the weekend with family. Well-appointed and comfortable. Plenty of space for the 6 adults and 3 children in our crew. The walk to the ocean was easy although the dune crossing is exercise if you're bringing a lot of weight in your wagon or cooler. Meredith is a wonderful host. She is responsive and easy to communicate with. All in all, a 5-star experience. We would come again.

Our second time staying at Justin‘s place we love it and will try to come back again. We love the area. We love Orange Blossom bakery right around the corner Tavern on the 12 has great meals just a great location not far from the beach and super clean, which is important to us if you’ve ever been in a place that was not clean it makes a huge difference
