Thank you for pointing that out LT. I need to update the photos of the house since it’s been elevated! There are probably 10 more steps to get up to the porch now!

It was kinda odd that the owner lived in the house and all his personal belongings were there and he just made moved out back in a camper when people rent the house. Not sure if the property was cleaned like it should be. We rewashed all bedding and towels and cleaned kitchen and bathrooms. Kinda wigged out about the fact that there were used bars of soap in the showers. Nice guy but kinda weird place to stay.

Perfect location, near everything!

Perfect location right near everything, but off the main road. Its tucked away so when on the deck you feel so secluded. We loved the outdoor shower, and the number of bathrooms! The house is so close to everything we just biked everywhere including to the beach!

true Ocracoke experience

Great location, super easy check in & check out with great communication with owner. This is an old school, beachy, hibby vibe, Ocracoke cottage. No bells and whistles, just a cottage with lots of character to gather with friends & sleep. It was perfect for our adults only labor day weekend.

Great find!

Our stay at the Sea Monkey was so wonderful and we will be returning in the future. The house was just a short walk for many restaurants and coffee shops as well as being a 5 min drive or so from the beach. Keith was attentive and helped us find things to do while in Ocracoke. The house also included many more amenities than other VRBOs I've stayed at. I strongly recommend Keith's place!

Island Girl

My family and I had a great time. This was my 4th visit to the Island, and I've loved every visit. I would absolutely recommend staying at Keith's place. You can walk to most everything, if you like to walk. Or, rent a golf cart or bicycle for getting around. It's up to you! My family really enjoyed Jason's Restaurant. The food there was awesome and not too pricey. I would definitely recommend the pizza! YUM! Thank you!

Property is overgrown and unsafe

The inside ok. Roaches and ants inside. The outside looks like a junkyard The property is so overgrown you cannot see the house from the road. This should not be a vacation property. There is no gym. It is a weight bench in a rotten deck. The outside trash cans were full when we arrived. There is no outside area to enjoy. I tried to rent something else but nothing was available for 8 people.

Unfortunately, I will not be hosting this group again. These were the filthiest people, I have ever seen in 17 years of hosting guests. 😩 They left no less than 17 bags of garbage strewn about and they were only here for four or five days… I don’t know how it’s even possible to make that much garbage In a year, let alone in a long weekend! As far as the insects go, with all of the food and garbage these people had strewn about while constantly leaving the doors open- it’s no wonder they attracted water bugs and ants into my home. It took me a long time to clean up after them and deal with the bugs, thankfully, they are gone now. Yes, my property is wild and savage! If you don’t like plants, then stay away! My budding little Permaculture ranch is full of bananas, Figs, Pomegranates, Apples and Orange trees! It’s a wild jungle, with many other Native flowering shrubs, and plants that support a very diverse hummock ecosystem, lots of frogs, Anoles, turtles, dragon flies, butterflies and of course birds galore. Sadly with the renovations coming this fall In elevating my home, 9 feet up- the yard is going to be pretty torn up, but I’m very excited for the new design coming 2025! Come watch it grow with me!
