This property is ideal for a couple or a small family. It has a queen bed(sheets are NOT provided), and pull out cot. The Lucky Buc adjoins the Buccaneer. There is a privacy fence separating the two, but a gate to open up if renting The Buccaneer with family or friends. We are located 0.1 mile from Zillie's, 0.3 mile from the Community Square on HWY 12 and 2.1 miles from the lifeguard beach.

We do NOT post on Craigslist, so if you see it there it is not us renting it. We only go through VRBO/Home Away.

We do not offer refunds for weather related cancellations, ferry issues or illness. We highly recommend that you purchase optional travel insurance. f you want to do early check in there is an additional $45 fee. It is extra added stress for our cleaners to have everything ready for those that get here on an early ferry. Normal check in time is 3:30 pm and check out time is 11:00. If you want to check out late it is a $100 fee.

    Great place to stay and very convenient. Well socked for cooking, but remember to bring queen sized sheets and towels. Only drawback was the lack of a proper dining table, but otherwise very highly recommended!

    What I liked was the location. We stayed there to attend the Ocrafolk Festival, and we were only 2 minutes away (by bike). Also having a parking spot for our car right next to where we were staying was great, even though we never used our car the entire week. The area was also quiet, which was nice. What I did not like was the clutter and the general condition of the house. It's small and space is at a premium. The couch was way to big. There was a stool that was unnecessary and just taking up room. A decorative tchotchke on the coffee table was also unnecessary and was quickly placed out of the way onto the floor. Other minor issues that detracted from the stay included dull cutting knives that were in dire need of sharpening and only one dinner knife. We were told to bring our own toaster as there was none. That turned out to be false. There were 3 coffee makers, 2 of which just took up more space. There were no clothes closets and very few clothes hooks, so you wound up throwing clothes where ever you could find a space. The outside deck had a 2-piece gate which was difficult to open and close. It also was made up of rusty chicken wire which was broken in places and presented a cutting hazard. One of the chaise lounges had broken straps. I bring these mostly minor issues up because it appears the owners have not visited the house in a while to check its condition. None of these on their own was a big deal, but taken together they add up.

    Loved that we could have our small dog with us, really liked the deck and the outdoor shower. Plenty of room inside for the 2 of us plus our small dog, good location and easy parking.

    This was a perfect little beach cottage. It's private, the decor is so unique, the bed is comfortable, the bathroom is big, the kitchen is really well set up, we went to escape the city for a week during the pandemic and it could not have been better suited for that purpose. In addition to a great place, the location is phenomenal. Ocracoke is unlike anywhere else along the OBX. The people are kind and tolerant. The beaches are wide open. I couldn't recommend this more highly.

    We had a wonderful visit and enjoyed our stay very much at Lucky Buc. We will definitely use this Vrbo in the future and have to say that we wanted to bring the mattress from the bed home with us. We slept better than we have in a very long time. The hosts were remarkable and we appreciate everything.

    It was really the perfect place for a couple with a dog. Plenty of room with bedroom and livingdining room well separated. Fulll kitchen. Comfy bed. Really enjoyed the fenced patio with the outdoor shower so you can wash the beach off your and your dog's feet and dry off outside in nature. The whole town is within walking distance from here. Hope to go back soon when the weather is better for Star gazing.

    Perfect size for two of us and a dog. Cozy cabin was very comfortable. Kitchen was fine. No washer or dryer so you will need to pack the clothes for the time you are there. Hosts were very nice to us and we have already booked for next year. Two key features that we liked. The place was private and located on a no-through street so traffic was limited. Some of the other roads in Ocracoke have way too much traffic-even in April. However, the best thing was the location. It is a short walk to the harbor, dining and shops. There is a golf cart you can rent but really the best bet is to take or rent a bike and get a little exercise. Unless you are driving out to the beach you should never need to use your car.

    A good value and very convenient to everything. A bit cramped for us - very large furniture - but was comfortable. The AC was cold and the internet connection was fast but we never could figure out how to find what we wanted to see on tv. We could not find any instructions on how to find our favorite network shows on the ROKU tv. That was really frustrating.: someone needs to Suggestion needs to take a hammer to the dozens of nails that are popping up on the deck. They are both uncomfortable and dangerous.

    Such a charming cottage. Ellen and Russ were so friendly and easy to work with. Our doggies were welcome. They enjoyed the freedom of the deck since it had a gate to the steps. We highly recommend this property.

    A nice one bedroom beach type cottage. The interior was cute and beach themed. The a/c worked well, separate units for bedroom and living areas. The kitchen had everything needed. The exterior was a bit worn and faded. Having a golf cart available was a very nice touch. Excellent and prompt communication with hosts.
