Beech I Told U So! New Build

RocioRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Our stay at Timothy’s place was excellent. The weather was terrible during our stay due to a tropical storm, but the beautiful house made up for the weather. Timothy has thoroughly thought of every detail in the home. It is beautifully furnished and decorated. It has a great outdoor space. There were plenty of televisions to keep everyone happy given the weather. The hot tub is frequently serviced and clean. It has a very nice outdoor tub as well. The outdoor showers are beautiful and well designed. He has hoses on every level to minimize tracking sand into the house. We felt very relaxed. We would definitely recommend Timothy’s place. Very responsive host. Timothy definitely cares about his property and the comfort of his guests. We would come back and recommend this house.

2BR/2BA Ocean side cottage

MarissaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Our long weekend stay was peaceful and just what we needed to recharge. The beach chairs and boogie boards were nice to have for the beach! The walk to the beach was a little confusing at first, but once we found the right path it was very quick. Overall we loved our stay, especially the sleepover environment with the loft!

Tiny House on semi-oceanfront lot

CherylRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I had a wonderful stay at Tiny Aloha. I went to have a solo retreat- and this space was perfect for me. Everything was super clean and aesthetically, well put together. There is great attention to detail from the wood work, the construction to the furnishings and art work. I really loved the space. Tami was responsive, clear with her communications and super helpful. One of the best parts for me was the outdoor shower. It's Spring time, so it was a bit cool and windy while I was there- but it was still amazing and I was surprised how much I liked it. The hang out area below is really nice for when you need to get off the beach- a very relaxing area that has everything you might want. I also loved having use of the bikes and beach chairs. I would definitely return- only I'd bring my husband next time- he needs to try the outdoor shower!

Direct Beach Access with Modern Beachy Vibes

AliRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
LOVE this place! We have been going to the Outer Banks for decades and this is one of the cutest & cleanest homes I have stayed in! You can’t beat the amazing oceanfront location with private beach access! Host was great & provided clear instructions, all listed amenities, and local recommendations. It was awesome being able to bring my dog along for an additional fee since she also enjoys beach getaways! Will be returning ASAP and recommending to all my friends & family!

CynthiaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
My family and I just came back from a long weekend trip at Heads Above where we celebrated my mom's 60th birthday. Darren's place was the perfect background for this special family reunion. The views are spectacular, I've stayed on ocean front properties before but Darren's places felt like we were literally on top of the water - just incredible! Darren was also very communicative and stayed in touch from the moment we booked until we left. We feel so grateful to have been able to have our family in such a special place for this special location - thank you Darren and Claudia for providing such a special place where our family could create such unforgettable memories!

3 Angel's Haven, Avon, 5 Min Walk to the Beach

DavidRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We LOVED our stay at 3 Angel's Haven! This was our second time around and once again, Nicky could not have been nicer. There are six of us - three couples - so the room layout, each with its own bathroom, works perfectly for us. A short walk and we're at the beach. A short drive and we have our choice of restaurants, grocery, and fun, outdoor activities. We choose to come to Avon in the winter for a quieter vacation and we're coming from Wisconsin, so the colder temps were still 30 degrees warmer than home. We will be back.

Memoria Bella~Hot tub~fire pit~basketball hoop

AllisonRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Great location, easy to walk to the beach or the path on main road to local restaurants. Beautiful sunsets from the upper deck looking towards the sound and sunrise if you walk down to the beach path. The beach was beautiful and uncrowded. The beds were comfy and we had everything we needed for a long weekend. Bonus that we didn’t have to rent linens and towels as with other beach rentals. In fact, the beach chairs & beach towels meant less I had to pack. Though the yard is not fenced, there is was plenty of nice grass for the pup and the kids to play ball in. We are looking forward to coming back next season.

Your guide to Ocracoke

Introduction

With pristine beaches, fabulous fishing, and real pirate coves, Ocracoke Island is arguably the most intriguing of North Carolina’s Outer Banks islands. Anchoring the barrier islands’ southern tip, the island is a waterfront getaway full of nature and culture, as well as its own distinct dialect, called High Tider. Ocracoke was known as a pirates’ hideaway long before it was settled in the mid-18th century, primarily because its terrain was more amenable to hiding bandits than fostering new construction. Blackbeard the Pirate was one of the island’s regulars, right up until his death there in 1718. Today, Ocracoke is a treasure for visitors thanks to its 16-mile white sandy beach, charming village with a storybook history, and more galleries and antique shops per capita than anywhere else in the region.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ocracoke

Ocracoke experiences a subtropical climate, which translates to hot, humid summers and dry, mild winters. The most popular time to stay in one of the island’s vacation rentals is in summer, when the town is fully operational and visitor-friendly. Temperatures typically climb into the upper 80s Fahrenheit, often accompanied by humid air. The region’s strong winds tend to keep climes comfortable enough to enjoy all of the outdoor recreation Ocracoke has to offer. The island more or less shuts down in the winter, with only a few businesses open year-round. Winter temperatures hover in the 40s and 50s, seldom dropping any lower. Beware of hurricane season, which runs from late summer to late fall in Ocracoke. Pay close attention to local weather reports if you’re planning a visit during this time.


Top things to do in Ocracoke

Ocracoke Lighthouse

The Ocracoke Lighthouse, completed in 1823, stands proud over the Pamlico Sound. It’s the oldest operating lighthouse in the state of North Carolina, and the second-oldest in the country. Though it’s not open for climbing, it’s a popular spot for sunset snapshots.

Silver Lake

Called the Creek by locals, Silver Lake is a can’t-miss landmark in Ocracoke: all three ferries pass through it en route to dock. Beyond its transportation duties, Silver Lake is a popular spot for kayaking and fishing, and during the summer months Silver Lake Harbor hosts a maker’s market every Wednesday.

Portsmouth Island

The southernmost barrier island on the Outer Banks is so remote that it’s often overlooked. From Ocracoke, the journey to Portsmouth is less than 45 minutes by passenger ferry, and it’s a sight to see. There are no vacation homes, services, or businesses on this rustic island, and the village has been a literal ghost town for decades. What it lacks in civilization, it makes up for in quiet, remote bliss, especially if you like fishing and camping.
