Beautiful, Historic and Private Retreat for Couples-limit 2 people

The Studio is a truly unique and beautiful property, both inside and out. Located in the heart of the village within walking distance to all the harbor front attractions, The Studio is tucked away, shady and private. The multi level patio is nestled among live oaks and cedar trees. After a total renovation in 2022, the interior space features an updated look that is more spacious, more functional and more inviting than ever! The Studio is an adult only, pet free, smoke free space. Smoking is allowed outside.


This building was constructed in 1993 and used for 15 years as a working art studio. It is set back off the road, amidst giant live oak and cedar trees, and sits alongside my home, one of the islands designated historic houses. The two buildings are joined by an open breezeway behind the main gate, but when guests are in residence in the studio, we both have separate entrances on opposite sides of the property. The Studio provides all the comforts of home in a private, quiet and tree shaded setting, with lots of attention to detail. I have tried to make the Studio somewhere I would want to stay, well cared for with lots of personality.

You enter through a totally enclosed multi leveled courtyard space complete with artwork, jasmine, hot/cold out door shower and grill. There are chairs for lounging and a dining table for mealtime. Your parking is right outside the gate. Inside, the studio is colorful, unique and furnished for your complete comfort with one queen bed downstairs, a double bed in the upstairs loft space, sofa, flat screen TV, fully equipped kitchen and bath with tub and shower. There is a desk and office chair perfect for working while away! The Studio provides full linen service.

This is the perfect romantic and private getaway for two. The Studio is located within walking distance of the Coffee Company, Zillie's, the harbor front and all downtown shops and restaurants. We ask that you do not store or charge electric bikes on the property.

All Studio guests are strongly urged to buy cancellation insurance through VRBO. We are an island 30 miles off the coast. Things happen, to people and to the island. The ferry service to the island can be affected at any time in unpredictable ways restricting access to the island. And, we have hurricanes from June through October. Please protect yourselves.

This property is offered by Premier Partner, Debbie Wells, who also manages three other VRBO properties: Dicie's House on Howard Street #1899844, SoundHouse #2203510 and CanalHouse #2760936. All cottages are personally managed and locally owned and operated and feature great locations, clean and functional interiors and competitive pricing. We hope to see you!

Artful and Classy
Our stay at the Art Studio was delightful. It was very clean, very organized, tastefully decorated, quiet and walkable to most locations that we were interested in visiting. When we had a question, the host responded within minutes. Everything that one might have needed or wanted was provided. We hope to return next year! Thank you.

No complaints about this little charm! Very private. Within walking distance to everything we wanted to do. The courtyard is beautiful - felt like our own little piece of heaven. We had everything we needed and felt right at home. Thank you again for our stay!

Honeymoon Suite
A great place to start our Ocracoke adventure. Even a cold, rainy day at the beach couldn't cramp our style staying at this enchanting tiny home. Cozy, open, a delight for the eyes. The perfect place to relax and recharge for another day of bicycling, kiting, swimming, and exploring this lovely little town. Just us two.

Little jewel box
This property is a treasure! We felt like we were staying in the most stylish treehouse ever. The artist owner used this space as her studio; it's filled with everything you need and decorated so tastefully. Do not hesitate to book this space for yourself or you and a loved one!

Excellent island getaway
Debbie’s studio is even bigger than the photos display. Bed was beyond comfortable and the design/decor is beautiful! The patio is an oasis especially with the outdoor shower….which was heavenly! We can’t wait to return!
