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 savor 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 striking 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 appreciate 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.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Ocracoke rental home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Ocracoke rental home:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Ocracoke area. To book the best vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Ocracoke visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

• Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. 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 vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's a certain Ocracoke destination you simply love, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Additional considerations:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
