The house sits in the middle of our little island 30 miles off the mainland accessible only by ferry boat or airplane.

There are 3 ferry lines that service this island. Cedar Island, Swan Quarter and Hatteras. Cedar Island and Swan Quarter vehicle ferries require reservations and a small fee (see the NC Ferry Reservations website to reserve your date and time). The Hatteras vehicle ferry is free and first-come, first-serve. You may have to wait in line at Hatteras. The schedule for all ferries and reservations for Cedar Island and Swan Quarter are on the NC Ferry website (ferry.ncdot.gov)

No franchises are allowed on island so most businesses are locally owned. Restaurants get their fresh seafood directly from the local fishermen daily.

There are various festivals and special events throughout the season. Check out the Ocracoke Observer community newspaper website or Facebook page for up to date information on restaurant openings/closings and special events.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a family friendly space with house rules and quiet hours posted in the rental agreement that you MUST read prior to booking.

    This is a great place for a long weekend stay. The hosts were very gracious. The location is very convenient to the Variety Store and 1718. The whole house water filtration system is impressive and probably some of the cleanest water you will get anywhere. Would definitely come back.

    This property has a great location. The suite has been nicely updated but it could have been much cleaner. Everytime someone in the building used water, it sounded like our place was flooding. The steps to the outside area for the dog were horrible and dangerous.

    We were only in Ocracoke for 3 nights and this place was perfect. It was a great location and we had several friends in the area who hosted us for larger dinners. The place is small if you’re spending much time there but for our use - sleep, breakfast and showers after the beach - it was great.

    Redbeard’s Retreat includes a few units in the same bldg, but they’re spacious. We stayed in Suite #2, which included a mud room, shower & separate water closet (i.e., toilet/sink), kitchenette, couch/large TV (w/ streaming access), small dining table, and bedroom. This was plenty room for me & my husband. It includes one parking space, behind which you may need to park your golf cart (if you rent one), but we had no problem with this. Also, the immediate area seems on the quiet side, which was nice after being out & about. The location is spectacular! It’s near Wheelie golf cart rentals, the Grocery/L-store, 1718 Brewery, Howard’s Pub, and The Breeze nightclub. It’s also near the beach end of the island. Communication with the host was great and the check-in/out process was super easy with no keys to worry about (keypad entry). I’m already looking at renting this unit again very soon!

    My husband and I stayed here with our dog for four nights and absolutely loved it. It was very clean, spacious and close to restaurants and shops. It’s tucked away from the main road which is nice that it didn’t feel crowded. Recommending this place to fam and friends!

    One small window unit air conditioner was trying to cool 3 rooms and fell woefully short of the mark. The bedroom ceiling fan squeaked so loud when running, it was not useable. The kitchen area was a bathroom type vanity in the living room with a couple wire shelves for a very small toaster oven and small microwave. No stove - 1 hotplate and a few random old pieces of cookware. Even yhough there was what appeared to be a very elaborate water fitration system, you are encouraged not to drink the water... there was a water cooler in the 'common' area for drinking and making ice. The bathroom was 'interesting. We were afforded 1 roll of toilet paper for 2 people for 5 days. Fortunately the island grocery store was right around the corner. Looks great from the outside - clearly that's where they spent their budget - on a nice deck and deck furniture. On a positive note, the ceiling fan in the 'living room was well balanced and didn't make noise. Just being honest - if you want to rough it, please disregard this review... Next year we'll seek other accommodations.

    Overall the place was perfect for what we needed! There was a miscommunication with the cleaning staff, so the place had not been fully cleaned at check-in, but the cleaning crew solved the issue without us ever having to contact the owner. All furniture was clean and comfortable. The bed frame is loud which made it difficult to bedshare with a toddler, but the mattress was comfortable!
