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.

Perfect place for a short stay
We were only in Ocracoke for 3 nights and this place was perfect. It was a great location and we had several friends in the area who hosted us for larger dinners. The place is small if you’re spending much time there but for our use - sleep, breakfast and showers after the beach - it was great.

Great location, spacious, & easy check-in/out
Redbeard’s Retreat includes a few units in the same bldg, but they’re spacious. We stayed in Suite #2, which included a mud room, shower & separate water closet (i.e., toilet/sink), kitchenette, couch/large TV (w/ streaming access), small dining table, and bedroom. This was plenty room for me & my husband. It includes one parking space, behind which you may need to park your golf cart (if you rent one), but we had no problem with this. Also, the immediate area seems on the quiet side, which was nice after being out & about. The location is spectacular! It’s near Wheelie golf cart rentals, the Grocery/L-store, 1718 Brewery, Howard’s Pub, and The Breeze nightclub. It’s also near the beach end of the island. Communication with the host was great and the check-in/out process was super easy with no keys to worry about (keypad entry). I’m already looking at renting this unit again very soon!

My husband and I stayed here with our dog for four nights and absolutely loved it. It was very clean, spacious and close to restaurants and shops. It’s tucked away from the main road which is nice that it didn’t feel crowded. Recommending this place to fam and friends!

Bit of a disappointment
One small window unit air conditioner was trying to cool 3 rooms and fell woefully short of the mark. The bedroom ceiling fan squeaked so loud when running, it was not useable. The "kitchen area" was a bathroom type vanity in the living room with a couple wire shelves for a very small toaster oven and small microwave. No stove - 1 hotplate and a few random old pieces of cookware. Even yhough there was what appeared to be a very elaborate water fitration system, you are encouraged not to drink the water... there was a water cooler in the 'common' area for drinking and making ice. The bathroom was 'interesting. We were afforded 1 roll of toilet paper for 2 people for 5 days. Fortunately the island grocery store was right around the corner. Looks great from the outside - clearly that's where they spent their budget - on a nice deck and deck furniture. On a positive note, the ceiling fan in the 'living room was well balanced and didn't make noise. Just being honest - if you want to rough it, please disregard this review... Next year we'll seek other accommodations.

Great for a quick visit!
Overall the place was perfect for what we needed! There was a miscommunication with the cleaning staff, so the place had not been fully cleaned at check-in, but the cleaning crew solved the issue without us ever having to contact the owner. All furniture was clean and comfortable. The bed frame is loud which made it difficult to bedshare with a toddler, but the mattress was comfortable!

Average unit, nothing special
Needs attention to furniture, very worn. TV was maybe 17” only in bedroom too small to see if in bed! Only window a/c unit very stuffy. Bathroom had to exit room and cross hall and no a/c in utility room where bathroom was. This was not acceptable. Host was very nice but would not recommend , Location was also deal breaker Behind Henry’s Restaurant on outskirts of town. Not good location for walking to places. Thank goodness, I had family there so was not there but to sleep and bath, but for the price expect more.

Enjoyed being so close to start and finish lines at brewery for the race. Eric was super nice host and communicated with us on our arrival and the check in check out process. Simple and just what we needed for accommodations - nothing fancy - but comfortable enough and everything we needed for a couple days.

Save yourself the money and just stay at the campsite
Where do I start..it was just plain awful! After 10 hours on the road we were ready for relaxation and got nothing but stress. From the 25 minute in person tour through this grungy, smoke smelling house to the weird inappropriate comments during the tour about the “party doors” and people walking around naked to the sheer dumbness of not knowing what “private entrance” means to the fact that our bathroom and shower were across the hall from our bedroom/kitchenette (by kitchenette I mean bathroom sink with a hot plate and all other plug in appliances.) so when you did shower/go to the bathroom you were greeted by other guests coming in and out. The pictures were SO deceiving. The vibes from the man who lives in the house had such weird vibes. Like he was so creepy. I have never had any issues with coming and staying at Ocracoke for the years we have been coming. I was stressing the whole time because we basically rented a house with other strangers. It’s not what you want to hear when you are wanting to get away. Save yourself the time and money and just avoid this place.
