Can't decide between old school coastal appeal and modern comfort? Get it all with this wonderfully eclectic home that combines the very best in setting, character and convenience. With one bedroom with private bath on the third floor, and a second sleeping area on the second floor and additional full bath on the first floor, this unique bungalow is ideal for modest families or a couples getaway. Treehouse Charlie embraces outdoor living with a wrap-around deck and screened porch with gas fire pit. Nature lovers will not only appreciate the mature trees and natural surroundings, but also that Treehouse Charlie was constructed with environmental responsibility in mind. Sustainable design features include a private reverse osmosis water system, on demand hot water heater, and a metal roof that's as gorgeous as it is efficient.

Inside, you'll find thoughtful details throughout: natural slate and bamboo floor, stained glass, bespoke constructed-ins, the list goes on! The open-concept, loft-inspired layout and high ceilings allow for an abundance of natural light. When you're not dining out at your favorite local restaurant on the island, prepare meals at home in the well-equipped kitchen with a gas range and farmhouse sink. Two living areas, one on the first floor and another on the second, provide plenty of room for spreading out. The second floor is furnished with a comfortable sectional in the den area, which converts to two XL twin beds, and french doors connect the space to a guest room with a twin. Note, there is no separate mini-split system in this sleeping area, so the doors will likely need to stay open. Upstairs you'll find the primary suite with king bed, private bath with jetted tub, and access to a wrap-around observation deck where you can savor your morning coffee.

When you're ready to venture out, you won't have to go far to find a variety of shopping, dining and famed Ocracoke attractions. Treehouse Charlie is located on a peaceful street off Lighthouse Road, but less than a five-min. walk from Silver Lake Harbor and all the locally owned businesses that make this island community a one-of-a-kind destination.

How to get the best Ocracoke vacation rental experience:

Getting the best value:

• In the Ocracoke area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the most suitable rental within budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Ocracoke restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Ocracoke visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect rental:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Treehouse Charlie: Cute Cottage for Couples or Small Families has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is right for your vacation group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a specific Ocracoke beach you are enamored with, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, record any problem areas during check in. Call the property manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
