Tucked down a peaceful path near the Ocracoke Lighthouse, Infant Duck Cottage is a lovingly crafted 3-bedroom, 2-bath island home designed for wonder, adventure, and memory-making. This modern reproduction of a classic 1920s bungalow features 9-foot ceilings, wood floors, beadboard paneling, and original-style crystal doorknobs.

The open-plan living and dining area flows into a completely equipped kitchen — ideal for gathering over meals and putting together puzzles. Step outside to the screened porch, where the daybed and rocking chairs offer a front-row seat to island life, as long afternoons and slow evenings stretch gently into memory.

Centrally located yet peacefully tucked away, Infant Duck Cottage is just a short walk or bicycle ride to Silver Lake Harbor, Springer’s Point Nature Preserve, the village stores, eateries, and the iconic lighthouse. The island’s 13 miles of wild, undeveloped beaches are conveniently accessed by bicycle or car — ideal for open-air exploring, surf splashing, or finding your own peaceful place to sink your toes in the sand.
Whether you’re collecting shells, chasing ghost crabs by moonlight, or sharing stories on the porch as stars appear over the marsh, Infant Duck Cottage is more than a place to stay — it’s a storybook setting where adventures unfold and island memories are made to last.
