  • Cottage

The Light Keeper's Duck Cottage offers an impressive and unobstructed view of the Ocracoke Lighthouse. Unwind on the back porch and patio with your morning coffee, and watch the sun rise behind the lighthouse; and finish the day with the sunset lighting up the lighthouse surrounded by pastel skies.
Tucked away off a peaceful, less traveled street, the Light Keeper's Duck offers a relaxing location, with the convenience of a short (10-15min) walk to stores, eateries, and Springer's Point Nature Preserve. The bungalow greets travelers with enchanting decor details, and well appointed amenities for a calming and comfortable stay on Ocracoke.
The Light Keeper's Duck Cottages accommodates a max of 4 guests. The bungalow is well suited for two couples, or a family of 4. The two bedroom, one and one half bath home, has a queen bed in each bedroom. One of the queen beds can be deconstructed into two modest single beds, which are suitable for young kids.

Rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

  • Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
  • The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
  • Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time 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 stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
  • Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Ocracoke area visitors guides which include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the perfect vacation home in Ocracoke:

  • Begin by choosing trip dates and a budget.
  • Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Amazing Lighthouse Views and Delightful Decor! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
  • Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is best for your family.
  • Is your family looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
  • Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
  • If your group is bringing pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

  • Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
  • Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
  • Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
  • Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
  • Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
  • Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Inspect the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
  • Did you have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
