As part of the Ocracoke Harbor Inn Cottages, your stay includes access to the Inn’s waterfront facilities on Silver Lake Harbor and complimentary docking at the Inn for one boat under 35 feet, with advance notice at the time of booking. Golf carts and bicycles are also available for rent at the Inn, making it simple to discover the village.
Inside, comfortable living and dining spaces provide room for family and friends to gather. The entirely equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, while a washer and dryer add convenience during longer stays. Central air conditioning and heat keep the bungalow comfortable throughout your visit.
The primary bedroom features a king bed and a twin daybed. A second bedroom offers a queen bed, and the third has two twin beds—flexible sleeping arrangements for families and friends. Two full bathrooms serve the home, and bed linens and bath towels are included.
Savor the outdoors from your choice of three inviting spaces. Unwind in the shade of the covered front porch, spend a peaceful afternoon on the screened porch, or gather on the private back deck. An outdoor shower makes it painless to rinse off after the beach, and a gas grille is ready for casual dinners at home.
The Ocracoke Lighthouse and Springer’s Point Preserve are within walking distance, with village stores, eateries, and Silver Lake Harbor close by. Spend your days exploring, boating, or appreciating Ocracoke’s beaches, then return to the comfort of your own island getaway.
Onsite parking is available, but there is no additional parking for utility trailers. Guests bringing a boat should contact us before booking to discuss trailer parking. Dad’s Retreat is a nonsmoking bungalow, and family pets are not allowed.
With comfortable gathering spaces, multiple porches and a deck, and the added benefits of Ocracoke Harbor Inn’s harbor facilities, Dad’s Retreat is an inviting home base for your next island hideaway.
