Pearl is a Hidden Gem in the Village. When you enter you will see the main home to the right. You will enter the Kitchen area of our home. The kitchen offers an open concept to the living and dining area so that as the "resident chef" you can feel supplied in all the conversation with your friends and family. As you will see the Kitchen has a center island for the sink and dishwasher.

The living space offers all new furnishings such as the pull out couch (Queen) with gorgeous, crisp cotton sheets. You will be able to savor Netflix on the new Roku TV, but, as always, why watch TV when you can be out appreciating the Ocracoke vistas !!

There are 2 bedrooms for you to choose from. The one on your left as you enter the hallway is a brand new Beauty Rest Double bed with a handsome antique Pine dresser. The ceiling fan and mini-split heat pump will ensure that you or your guest sleep well at their own temperature.

The bedroom to the right, the Master, features a new Beauty Rest Queen bed, with cooling bed cover. Also noted in the room for your sleeping comfort is a ceiling fan and your own mini-split heat pump as well. The 2 antique old English Pine dressers are here for you to place. your belongings in so that it feels just like home !

The center hall bathroom has just experienced a "from the sand up" remodel, all the while saving as much of the original structure as we could. We know that you will adore the original Bead Board ceilings and new Ship Lap walls !! What are our 2 favorite features in the bathroom??? The deep Cast Iron soaking tub and the electric wall heater !! We know this will give you hours of enjoyment as you rest after a busy day exploring the wild beaches of Ocracoke !!

And the porch !!!! What an absolute delight you will experience with the huge couch and swing !! The wide expanse of the porch is ideal for early morning coffee and late nighttime chats with those you have allowed to come with you on this adventure.

Our personal favorite is the outdoor shower --- After enjoying an outdoor shower you will have a hard time going inside to shower. With overhead coverage in case of rain or chilly weather, the full door gives your most modest guest to appreciate the experience. One thing to be mindful of with the pipes in this historic home, someone might get chilly if both showers and dish washer are running at the same time.

All of the yard space are yours to enjoy ! The fenced in yard is ideal for any gathering, including your pet. We do ask that all pet waste is removed from the yard as no one wants to put a toe into anything left behind!

Can you see yourself in our bungalow? We can, as long as you promise to be neat, tidy and respectful of a place that is so dear to us !

Tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Reserve your vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Ocracoke area visitors guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the perfect rental home in the Ocracoke area:

• Select your vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. September availability at the Jones Cottage ! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If not, reach out to the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is right for your family.
• If there's a particular Ocracoke destination you are enamored with, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the property manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peace. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
