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 appealing 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!

• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
