About this property

Red Beard's Retreat Suite 3 - Private 1QBR 1Bath 2nd floor suite, Q sleeper sofa


3 story pastel orange beach house with white trim. Less than a mile walk from the beach. This second-floor private suite has 1 queen bed and 1 full bath with private kitchenette (NO STOVE) and queen sleeper sofa. This space is located on the front of the house where there is a full 30ft covered porch. Great for a family of 4 or two couples looking to get away.

**The listed rate covers up to 2 guests. Additional guests will be an additional $50 per guest, per stay.

MAXIMUM OF 4 PEOPLE – NO PETS ALLOWED ** No Pets this unit. See either of our other 2 suites if you want to bring a pet.

The entrance is located up the stairs on the left side of the deck to the second floor covered porch. Studio includes a queen bed, kitchenette with dining table for 4, seating area with queen sofa bed and smart TV. The only other living space on this floor is another studio on the rear of the house with its own entrance. No common spaces.

** ANY additional guests not marked and paid for at the point of booking, I reserve the right to cancel the booking at the point of check in without refund.

Accommodations offer a hair dryer, Smart television and starter rolls of toilet paper and paper towels. Kitchenette includes apartment size refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, cookware/dishes/utensils, and a standard 12 cup coffee maker (filters provided)

No smoking of any kind (no vapes, no e-cigs). Any evidence of smoking in the suite will incur a cleaning fee of $350. If you must smoke, please do so outside and away from other guests. Dispose of cigarettes properly (do not throw in the yard).

**IMPORTANT** Parking is a premium on Ocracoke and we only have 1 space available per suite. Please, no trailers or very large vehicles. Full size, 4-door, long-bed trucks and large SUVs (ex. Suburbans or Expeditions) will not fit in our parking area. They will be too long and/or too wide.

** Be aware that if you bring/rent a golf cart while you are staying with us you will need to park it behind your vehicle. An extension cord is available for charging.

Bicycles, golf carts and other 4x4 vehicles available for rent on the island. (Lots of options for rentals)

Ocracoke Beach Outfitters has beach gear, baby items, bicycles and other items for rent if you forget something for your stay. They are within walking distance of the house.
(ocracokebeachoutfitters.com)

The house sits in the middle of our little island 30 miles off the mainland accessible only by ferry boat or airplane.

There are 3 ferry lines that service this island. Cedar Island, Swan Quarter and Hatteras. Cedar Island and Swan Quarter vehicle ferries require reservations and a small fee (see the NC Ferry Reservations website to reserve your date and time). The Hatteras vehicle ferry is free and first-come, first-serve. You may have to wait in line at Hatteras. The schedule for all ferries and reservations for Cedar Island and Swan Quarter are on the NC Ferry website (ferry.ncdot.gov)

No franchises are allowed on island so all the fish markets and restaurants are locally owed as are most all the businesses, family owned and operated. Restaurants get their fresh seafood directly from the local fishermen daily.
There are various festivals and special events throughout the season. Check out the Ocracoke Observer community newspaper website (ocracokeobserver.com) or Facebook page for up to date information on restaurant openings/closings and special events. This house sits within walking distance to it all.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a family friendly space with house rules and quiet hours posted in the rental agreement that you MUST read prior to booking. It's not a loud party house and OWNER reserves the right to cancel the booking (removing the guests), with or without refund, of any guests who do not abide by these house rules or demonstrate a lack of care towards the property or others while here..

Short first-time trip to OBX

The cleanliness, location, and responsiveness of the property manager were great. The location is close to the local general store/market, and the beach. The kitchen amenities allowed us to cook meals and spend more time exploring the island and at the beach. We would stay at this location again if we plan a trip back to the area.

We booked all 3 suites for us (mom and dad) and our 2 adult daughters to each have their own private rooms. We could see each other yet still have privacy. Perfect!

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay here. Before the trip was over, we agreed we would hands down stay here again. The place was clean, modern, and had all the necessary items for a great vacation. The location also sold us. It’s convenient for all the places like Howard’s Pub, 1718 Brewing and convenience stores! Would love to return with friends and have the whole place rented :)

Overall a good time. I would suggest room darkening shade on windows (especially on window over bed) as neighboring house(s) had lights on all night…making it hard to sleep.

Clean, private, lightfilled room.

We enjoyed our stay.The property was very clean, comfortable and well thought out. There is no thermostat in the unit & the AC was very chilly. It took a while to get a message to the host, but the response was immediate and we were much more comfortable once they adjusted the temperature.

Excellent location and excellent owners!

This is a newly renovated Suite, it is a nice size. There ended up being 2 adults and a teenager for our stay. There was an issue with another tenant so I sent the owner a message on VRBO and received an almost immediate response and resolution of the issue. The owners care about their tenants’ stay. The WiFi was strong. We didn’t read the description accurately nor did we notice that there wasn’t an oven/cooktop. There is a plug in cooktop though and a toaster oven if you are brave enough to try!The shower and bathroom are nicely sized, with the walk in shower being very nice. The deck is perfect for sitting on for coffee or cocktails. My only suggestions would be a new refrigerator (only for aesthetic reasons), however the one there works perfectly and keeps everything as cold as you want. I would suggest giving more towels than just one set per person for 4 days/nights. The sofa sleeper needs to be replaced, it is neither comfortable to sit on or sleep on. My teenager slept on a blow up mattress instead of the pull out sofa. The parking is tight at this property, we had to put the golf cart behind our vehicle and then we were still worried about blocking another tenant in. I would stay at this property again. The location is great, convenient to everything in the village.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly and Ron Gardner

Host profile image
We are both born and raised in North Carolina. We love the beach and the mountains. Ocracoke is like a second home and we love sharing this little piece of heaven with others.

Why they chose this property

The house is one street off the main road but still within walking distance of so many restaurants and shops. Easy access without all the traffic coming past the house

What makes this property unique

We are one road back and run parallel to Irvin Garrish Rd which makes 7 restaurants, 2 food trucks, The Breeze nightclub and 1718 brewery within walking distance of the house. The back of the Sweet Tooth candy shop and Fig Tree deli are almost directly across the street from us. The grocery store is across the main road.
