About this property

Unique, Romantic, Cozy, Island Cottage on #1 Beach in America

Our cottage named 'Zillies' is designed for two people to show up and have everything they need for an amazing, carefree visit. High end beach cruiser bikes, kayaks, beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach toys, coolers, Weber grill, linens and beach towels are all included with your rental. Monogrammed sheets, plush towels and a large DVD library are just part of the special 'extras' you will enjoy. Its the perfect romantic, relaxing, get away for any couple. Honeymooners love Zillies! 4WD Jeep Wrangler available for rent. Zillies Cottage is not your average rental. Decorated throughout with beach treasures from our travels and art work by our young nieces and nephews its a magical, love filled little cottage. You will be surrounded with more special memories than you will ever know. Zillies also has an amazing outdoor shower which all our guests love (check out the reviews). The shower is decorated with our special beach treasures we've found over the years from around the world . We call it "treasure from foreign lands". :-).

Ocracoke Island is truly a special place and was voted #1 Beach in America by Dr Beach for good reason. Where else can you find 13 miles of 4 Wheel Drive accessible, uninhabited, undeveloped, pristine beaches?

Come see what makes this island special and you will fall in love with the peace and solitude you discover. Spend some time on the island and reconnect with your partner. Zillies rents Saturday to Saturday during the season. Rentals of less then a full week are allowed ONLY in the off season. Please check our calendar for availability.

Quaint little hideaway
We absolutely loved our weekend away. The cottage was perfect for our needs! And when the weather trapped us on the island, Jeff and Wendy worked with us and were able to rent it to us for an extra night. We would definitely stay here again!

Zillies Cottage
Very cute and perfect for the length of stay we had. My wife is already thinking of next year and when to return! The owners of the wine shop were originally from Richmond as we were and we kinda hit it off with them. Everything was as detailed as you stated. A couple of light bulbs were out and the front door lock was loose (I fixed) but other than that it couldn't have been better as was the weather. Thanks so much!

Married for 39 years we enjoy the beach and pretty much anything involving the outdoors. Originally from Maine, we've lived in Williamsburg, Va for over 28 years. Like many folks in the area we arrived here while serving in the military. We would like to say a big thank you to those who continue to serve our great country. We spend as much time on the island as we can because its good for the soul! You will find us wandering around the island pretty much every weekend in the summer. We enjoy boating, clamming, fishing, all of the beautiful beaches and spending time with our island friends. Its just a very special place and we feel blessed to have our cottage on the island. We also love sharing our cottage with our guests. Reading our guest log always makes us smile. Our many repeat guests are extra special to us.

Why they chose this property

We truly love Ocracoke and after spending many years camping, renting and staying in Bed and Breakfast's we knew we had to get a place of our own. We discovered Zillies and it was the perfect cottage for two . Very private yet close to everything, it was the perfect fit for our lifestyle. Sharing it with our guests has been wonderful. Everyone loves this special little cottage and it makes it fun to read our guest log each weekend when we arrive. The cottage is perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, special getaways and many of our guests come back each year. Our always growing number of return guests are extra special to us. Zillies truly is a special little cottage on a very special island.

What makes this property unique

Private yet convenient to the village and all the island has to offer. Everything is provided, all you need to do is show up and relax! You can even rent our Jeep for a fantastic day at the beach. Our guests all love the special decorations we have in the cottage and the outside shower. Zillies in not a typical, generic rental. Our "beach finds" and the artwork by our young family members make is a warm, love filled home. As one guest put it....."you can feel the love in the cottage". Its very important to us that our guests have a great time at Zillies and we will do whatever it takes. We don't want your stay at Zillies to be like renting a hotel room, our goal is to provide you with a warm, welcoming home away from home........... a romantic, relaxing, special time which you will always remember.
