Photos and Description of the Ocracoke vacation house rental
House, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1.5 Baths, (Sleeps 2-3)

Second Wind cottage is a real home away from home...guests often comment that staying here is like visiting friends.

Great care is taken by the owners to ensure the comfort of every guest. The cottage is perfect for a couple, or a couple with a small child.

It has an open, airy floor plan with lots of windows and two sliding glass doors leading to decks that overlook the canal, a very well-equipped kitchen, and many small touches that help make your stay more pleasurable. We pride ourselves on offering a clean, comfortable, and well maintained cottage.

If you've never been to Ocracoke, you're in for a treat. It's one of the most unique places many will have the chance to visit. With 13 miles of pristine beach, it's no wonder it was voted the number one beach in the country in 2007. It's not hard to fall in love with the easy going, laid back lifestyle.

If you're in the mood to stay busy, there's lots to do from inshore and offshore fishing with native guides, biking, raking your own clams, kayaking and parasailing to shopping and trying one of the many great restaurants on the island.

If you're more into relaxing, kick back on the porch in one of our locally made Adirondack chairs and watch egrets, ducks and otters off the back deck, or chill out with a book or movie from the house.

If you have been here before, there's always a few new places to check out and a chance to rediscover why you came to Ocracoke in the first place.

More than we hoped for!

Submitted: April 25, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We came to Ocracoke for a getaway from home responsibilities, it has been more than we ever hoped for. This cottage keeps growing on us - don't want to leave!
The cottage is charming. It gave us each privacy and yet common area. We adored eating on the lower deck and grilling outside.
We found all the dishes, cooking utensils and even spices we needed. Everything was immaculate! Love the decor - kept finding a wall art I hadn't taken in fully.
We visited every shop that was open - great breakfast at Dajio, Thai Moon take out was perfect on a rainy night. Loved Zillie's.
Obviously, I could go on and on about our week but this fabulous dwelling enhanced our stay.
The people here are so down to earth, personable and full of information. My husband spent time visitine with the shopkeepers as I perused the wares! We did take a day to Hatteras and enjoyed the lighthouses but couldn't wait to return to 'our island'.
Thank you Steph and Larry for providing such a lovely, comfortable accommodation. If everyone enjoyed this stay as much as we did, the island would become quite crowded!

I was looking for a clean, comfortable and safe place to go to recharge and found it with this cottage. It was better than I could have hoped for. Clean and nicely appointed; with all the comforts. Convenient location for biking in town and kayaking the canals and marshes. The owner was accommodating and very helpful before and during my stay.

Me and my wife stayed a week in this wonderful house on Ocracoke. Very well equipped home, very comfortable. The description is very accurate, the property is very clean and well maintained. There is lots of spread out room. It was one of the best vacation trips we have ever made. I highly recommend this house if you are looking for a quiet beach experience. The owner is very nice and easy to work with. I give this an A++++++!

This rental was perfect for two people and in our opinion the owner is modest in the property's
description. My husband and I, both in our 60's, love to walk and we found the location perfect for a brisk walk to town, and even as a base for a long but utterly spectacular and indescribable ocean side walk to South Point. The property is cleaner than any rental we've ever stayed in, including fancy hotels and maybe even our own house! The owner was more than helpful and available throughout the rental process, and the amenities are endless, (including things like a coffee grinder, tea kettle, and other unexpected but thoughtful tools). The owner has provided a large and interesting collection of books and movies on VCR and DVD, and I enjoyed the upstairs writing desk, WiFi for my iPad, and a nap on the chaise in the upstairs sitting room. My husband and I were impressed with the quality of the interior and the owner's choice of making the upstairs into one very large bedroom with bath rather than divide it into two small bedrooms. My husband admired how solidly built the house is and he particularly enjoyed the wonderfully warm and well joined interior woodwork. We would recommend this rental to anyone and we plan to use it again. Including the walk to South Point, (4 1/2 hours round trip walking; you could drive part way), we would recommend a leisurely walk through the Springer's Point Nature Reserve located just off Loop Road. We spent some time there doing sketches of and enjoying the old maritime forest, spectacular water views, and the undeveloped space. We cooked-in using the well equipped kitchen and ate out several times at our favorite restaurant on the Island, Jason's. This house is a perfect place for a couple to find togetherness with enough space for a little privacy if needed, and at a great price.

Clean, well-appointed property with great owners - would stay again!

I’m kind of picky, and I don’t have a single bad thing to say about this place. If we go back to Ocracoke, I won’t even bother looking at other rentals. This is a super-clean, nicely decorated property at a very reasonable rate. It’s a great size for a couple, and the master suite is spacious. Washer and dryer, a nicely equipped kitchen, wireless Internet access, a king-sized bed, and all linens provided = a really easy, excellent experience. Plus, the owner was helpful and responsive. A+.

Owner's Response: Thanks, Cadence, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay. The off season is a wonderful time to be on the island, please look us up again if you're ever in the neighborhood!
