About this Property

• 3 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Cottage
• Approximately 1225 square feet

45 Mary Ann Drive:

At "Little House by the Ferry" you can relax in hammocks and hear the ferry boats tooting their horns coming and going out of the harbor. Located near Silver Lake Harbor where all the eateries and stores are located, you will find it painless to walk or bicycle from this convenient location.

This beautiful 3 Bedroom (plus additional bunk room) 1 Bath bungalow has undergone a complete remodel and addition during the Spring of 2009. You will appreciate the professionally decorated bungalow decor. There are 2 hammocks for calming, a fenced-in dog yard, dishwasher and washer and dryer. While there is only one full bath, there is an exceptional outdoor shower with a star-filled sky above. You will never want to shower indoors again.

The sizable screened-in porch has vaulted ceilings and big vistas of open space which makes for a very private setting.

Bonus Items: We have bicycles, sand chairs, beach umbrellas and body boards you are welcome to use. These items are not a part of the lease because we cannot guarantee they will all be in good working order at the time of your stay. It seems like there is always a bicycle or two out of commission at any given time.

Most of Ocracoke Island is owned by the National Park Service and there are no cottages located at the beach front. Little House by the Ferry is located in the village about a mile and a half from the beach. If you have a four wheel drive you can drive out on the beach. You can also drive or ride bicycles to the life guarded beach and walk over the dunes to the beach.

Our bungalow is now on city water which provides great water pressure and makes the our shower absolute heaven!

How to find the best Ocracoke vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserve your Ocracoke rental property in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
