Cottage holiday rentals in Ocracoke Island

Another fantastic Spring Break at the Best Box! The nicest, cleanest, most relaxing rental we’ve ever found. Didn’t think the property could be any better than it was last year, but the owners have managed to make many creative and thoughtful upgrades. Enjoyed days at the beach, days on the sound, chartered a boat for fishing, ate tons of seafood, and saw the best sunsets right from the deck. Literally took advantage of everything in this house - from crabbing to fishing to baggo to flying kites to playing board games to darts and foosball. Oh and kayaking, relaxing in the hammock, and tubing, too.

Great house and great host. Had to make a last second change from a previous house we were staying in and Michelle was able to fit us in the night we asked and even before our allotted time. Made sure we had everything we needed and was always responsive. Very appreciative for her and her flexibility. Home was clean and had everything we needed. Would recommend to stay here.

Our family loved spending the week here! The incredible kitchen is so well stocked and fun to cook in, the beds are all very comfortable, and the location is great - easy beach access and beautiful views. It’s walkable to a lovely coffee shop and movement studio, and close to any and all amenities you may need while still feeling private.

Great house with a wonderful view!

We had such a wonderful time! The cottage was so peaceful, absolutely beautiful and completely redone! Extremely clean and fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. It felt just like home right when we walked in the door. There was plenty of room for our family of three. Our 2yr old LOVED the huge yard and dock. The views of the sound from every window are AMAZING!!! The pictures just doesn’t do it justice! The sunrises were breathtaking and the night sky was just as pretty. Ms. Patricia was always so kind and quick to respond. We truly appreciated that! Thank you for allowing us to stay!

We had a lovely stay at The Grey Pearl. Perfect location-walk to restaurants, etc. We packed bikes and never took the car out once. I really love a dog friendly house!

Everything was exactly as described! What a great place to stay. Just heads up — if there are people staying in the unit above, you can definitely hear noise, but as long as you go into it expecting that possibility, no problem!

House was great! Super clean, great location. Comfortable beds and oversized TVs made it feel like home. 10 out of 10 recommended!

Just Enough was that and so much more. Beautiful area, super porch for viewing the canal, really comfortable house. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking up some great fresh seafood. The seafood shop was just up the road by the way. Restaurants and grocery were all close by. Evenings on the porch were such a super way to relax after beaching, biking and kayaking. Really loved our stay

This was the cutest little beach cottage! We went for a 4 day get away with our small children and dog. Our 12 year old son absolutely LOVED fishing in the canal in the backyard. He’s an avid lover of fishing so this was perfect! We rented a kayak & had it delivered for him to use. We frequent the Hatteras area and this cottage was one we’d never tried but would definitely stay again! Thanks Gisa!

My spouse and I were looking for an unplugged getaway, and wow oh wow - Rhonda's place was it! The ocean front view combined with a cozy, well-loved and thoughtful interior made for a perfect quiet vacation. Rhonda was an incredibly helpful host and offered great recommendations for places to find local seafood and go for walks. This home is a treasure!

We had a great stay at Out of the Blue. Margot was so responsive and helpful. Perfect location to get to/from beach easily and close to grocery, restaurants. Comfortable home. Would definitely return!

Well we came in late so it was pitch dark so which was our fault. It was a long drive 7 hours but it was worth it x1000%. We had some trouble finding it on its little island- but, it’s only because it’s so private and secluded and there are winding little driveways that it seems the numbers aren’t in order. It was like a treasure hunt and man we found treasure. Todd the owner and April the property manager were absolutely awesome- you called or texted and there was no lag. You were guaranteed a quick response. The place was so peaceful and beautiful and so close to anything you could possibly need . The crabbing was phenomenal and we caught a ton of flounder which were all released back to their homes. What a well needed soul saver this place is. Without a doubt back here soon. Tite lines is an awesome charter if you want to go fishing. Go with hunter or aaron

Amy's home was a great place for our family of 5 adults to gather for Christmas. Each of our adult children had their own room plus there are two gathering places for TV watching and activities. Spacious dining area. Very well equipped kitchen!! Whatever you want to make, Amy has a pan for that!! Easy walking distance to beach and lighthouse. Her beautiful Christmas decorations were a nice touch for the season. We would rent this place again if our travels take us back to OBX.

Morgan's house is tastefully furnished and full of light. The kitchen is well equipped, beds comfortable, and everything very clean. The beach is very close and was absolutely glorious because we went out of season and although it was sunny and warm there were few people about - only a few locals fishing. The children appreciated all the equipment for building sandcastles. We found some good restaurants open.

This was a wonderful home base for adventuring in the off-season. It was a short bike ride (and an easy, affordable bike rental from Ride the Wind) into town or to the beach, and I loved being able to put a kayak in at the house.

This place is so gorgeous! It’s spacious, bright, beautifully decorated with cozy beachy home vibe. You can spend time on the deck, in the screened porch, the cozy living room or the dinning area with beautiful view. Plenty of lounge furnitures to sit down and relax, plenty of towels, plenty of cooking/dining supplies. It is so well stocked in every way. I also LOVE the location, walkable to the beach, and since there is no light pollution here in the night, the Staring sky is breathtaking. If weather allows, I would strongly recommend to see the sunrise and stars. There is not much night life in this area, but we didn’t mind driving 30 mins to nags head area on the nights we want to hangout late. All in all, we enjoyed our stay a lot, I would stay here again if I come back to this area.

We enjoyed our stay! Everything was great from location, cleanliness and ease of checking in and out. Dylan was a great host and we will return!

Really a great place to stay. Location was great. Everything very clean and everything available. Probably my new best airbnb place to stay.

Great place to stay! Had good communication and clear instructions.
