About this property

Red Beard's Retreat Suite 1 - Cozy, Private getaway 2 BR 1 Bath

Private Suite in Ocracoke

*We are no longer pet friendly.*
Sandy Paws Bed & Biscuit Inn is a local kennel that will take care of your pet daily or longer. (Like a doggy daycare) 252-928-3093

3 story pastel orange beach house with white trim. A mile walk to the national park lifeguarded beach. This suite is located on the first floor and has a private kitchenette (NO STOVE) and queen bedroom. The entrance to this suite is through the main entrance of the house and then the door to the left with keypad entry. The bedroom is in a separate and private space to the rear of the suite. There is a door to close off the bedroom space from the kitchenette/living space.

MAXIMUM OF 4 PEOPLE

Accommodations offer hair dryers, Smart televisions and starter rolls of toilet paper and paper towels. Kitchenettes offer refrigerators, microwaves, cookware/dishes/utensils, and coffee makers.

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.

**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, Expeditions, Hummers) 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 most businesses are locally owned. 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 or Facebook page for up to date information on restaurant openings/closings and special events.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly and Ron Gardner

Host profile image
We are 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

It's located in the center of our island which is only 3 miles wide. You can't beat the location of the house nor the island. Not a fast food joint anywhere! All local businesses and we like to keep our island that way

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.
