About this property
CanalHouse Private Large Home on Canal Front
CanalHouse is a unique Ocracoke home on the rental market for the first time in 2022. The long time home of an old Ocracoke family, who still owns the property, CanalHouse sits on a canal which leads to Oyster Creek and Pamlico Sound through a picturesque salt water marsh. The large back yard includes many live oak, bald cypress, and cedar trees. Enjoy the exceptional privacy on three large decks, including one on the back of the house with an outdoor shower and one surrounding an outbuilding right on the canal. NO power boat access.

Heating and air were fine. Kitchen well equipped. Additional ice trays would be nice, but we had bag ice to compensate. It was nice having linens.The remodel is excellent and the space was fantastic. Parking is excellent.Laura enjoyed the canal deck each morning with her coffee and books.I doubt we can ever stay in a motel again on Ocracoke after this wonderful experience. Kevin
Great place and the property manager was awesome!!Only downside is the ferry system- you never know if you’re going to be picked up on time or not. We will definitely stay here again.
This was my family’s third time staying at the canal house & as always we had a wonderful time. Peaceful, relaxing…everything you could want! We will be back.
A beautiful house on the canal. We had a great stay and really enjoyed the porches. Quiet but close to town. Lots of living space. Clean and well decorated! We will definitely be back
we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was exceptionally clean, spacious and in a lovely peaceful setting. Close to everything. We also appreciated that linens were provided. Owner was quick to respond to our questions. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!
We had a great stay at the Canal House. It was very clean, had everything we needed and is in a perfect location for golf carting or biking to shopping, restaurants and the coffee shop. This was our first trip to Ocracoke, but it won’t be our last!
We liked watching for birds while sitting on the porch facing the canal. The house is close to all restaurants and shops. The owner is super responsive to all needs. We liked knowing that an old island family still owns the house.
My family stayed in Canal House for a family birthday trip. The house is very comfortable with plenty of space for family dinners and hang outs. Hope to return again to this lovely house.
Beautiful house, well-appointed!! Everything we needed with plenty of room. Comfortable beds and everything was spotless. Debbie was easy to communicate with. Absolutely would stay again.
Large lot with cemeteries in the front yard, quick walk to town center and area restaurants. Saw several herons fly by from the back deck. Surprisingly peaceful so close to town. Had a great time.
My wife and I loved everything about this house. It is tucked away the British Cemetery and backs up
to a canal running behind the property. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay. It is very private but within walking distance to shops and restaurants. We are already planning our next visit.
The cottage was comfortable and well equipped. Being down past the British Cemetery made for a very quiet week. It reminder me of my early visits to Ocracoke 50 years ago.
Mom and I enjoyed our quiet stay at the Canal House. We appreciated the comfortable beds, the cleanliness of the house, and all the basic supplies provided. The AC was welcome for the hot temps and humidity of the week. It was a convenient spot for adventures on the sound and around town.
