Constructed in the 1920s for Captain Myron Garrish, this historic island home has been enlarged and completely remodeled down to the studs. The foundation has been raised, the ceiling has been raised, and now it is time to raise your expectations for a pleasant and comfortable step back in time on the island’s most historic sandy lane.
Snuggled within the ancient live oaks, Howard St is a peaceful and calming place on the island, yet this home is located just steps away from eateries, stores and the magical Silver Lake harbor. Right next door is our other home, the beloved Elsie’s House, so you have the opportunity to rent both if you need more space for bigger family gatherings.
Featuring open living space, 3 comfortable bedrooms, and luxury baths we believe you will feel at home as soon as you walk in. The front porch will be your perch to relax and become an O’Cocker, even if it’s just for a little while. Come savor!

Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

When to visit Ocracoke & When to reserve a Ocracoke rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the best vacation home within budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Ocracoke area visitors guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book the perfectvacation home:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Myron’s Place on Howard Street - a renovated historic island home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. message the rental manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
