    Debbie was fantastic! She was right there taking care of cold weather problems when I arrived, and very helpful and informative whenever I had a question. Soundhouse was clean and comfortable.

    My husband and I had such a relaxing stay at the charming Sound House. Views of the water, comfortable quarters, everything we needed to ease in and relax!

    This cottage is truly sweet in all aspects. It is located in an area that is close to the main street but far enough away that it is quiet. The sound location is beautiful, we watched the birds every morning while we drank coffee while sitting on the deck. The interior is very nicely decorated in a slightly retro and sophisticated beach vibe. The furniture and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen had the perfect amount of space, dishes, cooking and serving utensils. The outdoor shower (with warm water!!) was also convenient to rinse off beach sand. There was even some starter soap, paper towels and bathroom tissue. The house was very clean. I had the opportunity to communicate with the owner in the weeks prior to our stay and she was very quick in responding to my communications. I would definitely consider renting this house again.

    This spot is nice, clean, has everything you need, butts up against the sound, is in a great location, etc. You and your kids will totally dig it.

    Nice simple cottage, old Ocracoke style. We stayed here during the cloudy, rainy week of Tropical Storm Debby but North Pond was protected from the wind, so we could enjoy it during the rain breaks- swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The place was clean and had most of the things we needed to cook. The property manager was very responsive and kind when we had a small issue. The main thing we missed was having a screened porch, which seems essential for Ocracoke, or at least a covered porch would have been nice with all of the rain. Overall, a great cottage and location.

    This location can’t be beat! We loved being right on the sound! Swimming, kayaking all available right out the back door. This house was clean and perfect for our family of 4. We can’t wait to come back next year!

    Staying at this house was absolutely amazing. The water access in the backyard was a game changer for our Ocracoke trip and we will definitely be visiting again!

    Our third stay. Always peaceful and relaxing. We love that it is shady, we can kayak in the sound from the backyard and bicycle to all the cute shops. The things you need to cook a fresh seafood dinner from the local seafood market are stocked. Check in and out is always a breeze.

    I love walking into this cheerful house it just feels like home. This was our second year at Sound House and reservations have already been made for next year! The house is always spotless and very comfortable. We love being on the sound and the North Pond is a perfect place to kayak and fish. We also like that this house is on one of the quieter streets with less traffic and hardly any walking traffic.

    Our second year here, won’t be our last! Such a gem. Love the beachfront, love the cottage. Rented kayaks from Ride the Wind and watched the fireworks over the water for the Fourth- amazing! Will definitely rent them next year, it was so fun to explore around the coves. Would love more clothespins for the clothesline! Debbie is a very helpful hostess and was quick to respond to my questions. Thank you!

    This was our second stay at this peaceful, clean house and we have already booked another stay. It is on a quiet road with a roomy kitchen, comfortable dining area and family room. My favorite part is sitting in the adirondack chair with my feet in the Pamlico Sound drinking my morning coffee watching the pelicans fish. It is a favorite get-away home away from home that is an easy bike ride close to the fun shops and delicious seafood.

    The Sound House exceeded all our expectations! Pictures don't do it justice. The traditional beach cottage has lovely decor, a well-equiped kitchen, and a wonderful view and access to the sound. We loved being able to launch our kayaks from the backyard. We having been coming to the island for 35+ years and this is now our favorite cottage. Perfect for a couple's getaway!
