The Studio is a really unique and handsome property, both inside and out. Located in the heart of the village within walking distance to all the harbor front attractions, The Studio is tucked away, shady and private. The multi level patio is located among live oaks and cedar trees. After a total remodel in 2022, the interior space features an refreshed look that is more roomy, more functional and more inviting than ever! The Studio is an adult only, pet complimentary, smoke complimentary space. Smoking is allowed outside.


This building was constructed in 1993 and used for 15 years as a working art studio. It is set back off the road, amidst giant live oak and cedar trees, and sits alongside my home, one of the islands designated historic homes. The two buildings are joined by an open breezeway behind the main gate, but when guests are in residence in the studio, we both have separate entrances on opposite sides of the property. The Studio provides all the amenities of home in a private, peaceful and tree shaded setting, with tons of attention to detail. I have tried to make the Studio somewhere I would want to stay, well cared for with tons of personality.

You enter through a completely enclosed multi leveled courtyard space complete with artwork, jasmine, hot/cold out door shower and grille. There are chairs for calming and a dining table for mealtime. Your parking is right outside the gate. Inside, the studio is colorful, unique and furnished for your complete comfort with one queen bed downstairs, a double bed in the upstairs loft space, couch, flat screen TV, completely equipped kitchen and bath with tub and shower. There is a desk and office chair ideal for working while away! The Studio provides full linen service.

This is the ideal charming and private hideaway for two. The Studio is located within walking distance of the Coffee Company, Zillie's, the harbor front and all downtown stores and eateries. We ask that you do not store or charge electric bicycles on the property.

All Studio guests are strongly urged to buy cancellation insurance through Vacation Rental By Owner. We are an island 30 miles off the coast. Things happen, to people and to the island. The ferry service to the island can be affected at any time in unpredictable ways restricting access to the island. And, we have hurricanes from June through October. Please protect yourselves.

This property is offered by Premier Partner, Debbie Wells, who also manages three other Vacation Rental By Owner properties: Dicie's House on Howard Street #1899844, SoundHouse #2203510 and CanalHouse #2760936. All cottages are personally managed and locally owned and operated and feature great locations, clean and functional interiors and competitive pricing. We hope to see you!

How to book the best Ocracoke vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the most suitable rental within your budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Ocracoke area visitor guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the perfect rental in Ocracoke:

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Beautiful, Historic and Private Retreat for Couples-limit 2 people has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. If not, contact the property owner before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is optimal for your group.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Ocracoke beach you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Tips for a great stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the host immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
