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.

Thank you for the opportunity to stay at Red Beard's Retreat. We didn't spend a lot of time in the suite. But the time we spent was nice. The property is very clean and comfortable. It was perfect for a four day get away to the island!
My daughter and I stayed here to have a week away from stress and anxiety of life. We enjoyed the get away so much! The house was clean and inviting. Minutes away from everything! We will definitely go back!
Great location. First time in 2 bedroom apt. Had friends visit for 2 of our 4 days. Host (Kelly) was so easy to contact and answered all our questions. Parking is very tight, but we knew this. All was good.
Parking is tight but that’s how it is everywhere in Ocracoke. Place was clean and spacious for me, my husband, baby, and two dogs. Property manager is easy to get a hold of if needed. Location is great.
We were so blessed to find this gem for a last-minute, short getaway. Very clean, comfortable, easy check-in and out, great and friendly communication with owners and super cool AC! We will definitely be back! Hopefully sooner than later!
Host was quick to respond to my user error in working the air conditioning units. The house was spotless. My son left his retainer and they contacted us and are mailing them to us. We will stay here again. The only thing to keep in mind is that the rain runs off the roof right on to the pathway into the house. Only a slight inconvenience.
Had a good time staying here. Easy check in/out. Host communication was right on.
We came to fish for four days. Great place to stay for this.
Not a lot of traffic on the road where located.
Walking distance to most restaurants and the brewery.
Clear and easy directions for guests responsibilities when checking out.
Basic and clean. Also had a water cooler so we could refil our bottles.bikes and some beach stuff avaliable
Eric was very helpful and available if we needed him.
Although we were on the island during recent Tropical Storm we enjoyed our stay. We felt safe and secure in home. Property was very clean. Host was very quick to respond. Marie met us at check-in showed us entire area, gave us information and answered all our questions. Would highly recommend.
I really enjoyed my stay!! It was super easy to communicate with Kelly; she responded quickly to my questions. Check-in was a snap! The suite offered everything I needed, just as advertised. The queen bed in the main room was very comfortable! I have stayed here several times under previous ownership, and I just want to say that the current owners have made noticeable, significant upgrades!! I have no hesitation in highly recommending this property, and look forward to staying again!!
This was a nice, clean and well located unit. TV had Netflix, but I suspect that may have been from a prior guest. Some noise from unit next door, dog barked when it heard us, and conversations could be heard as well. Nice shower, owner provided extension cord for charging golf cart.
The place was in a convenient location, pretty much within walking distance of most things. Amenities were basic. Bring your own sheets, towels, toiletries, and blankets. Nothing fancy, but served the purpose. It was pretty spacious and parking was easy. Clean and easy to get in and out of. Hostess was easy to work with, but we really didn't have anything that needed attention.
The property was super clean and the property manager was super responsive. First night was great. Super quiet tenants above us. Second night not so much. The tenant above us was super loud all night. However, that is not on the property manager. Just inconsiderate tenants. Overall, we really liked this property and would recommend it to others.
The suite was much bigger than we thought it would be. Which was fantastic for the four of us! The location was perfect! And we were lucky to get Suite One… Where we had enough room in the driveway to park a six person golf cart. (We had a baby with us who had to be in a car seat.)
I would say the only complaint would be that the cleaning staff does not seem to clean the floors. They sweep them… But you can’t walk barefoot on them or your feet will turn black. Other than that, we had a wonderful time! Check in and check out were very easy and the property managers are very communicative! I would definitely stay there again!
Eric was so friendly and accommodating. He offered the use of his personal fishing pole, electric scooter, & bikes. It really made the experience fun for the kids. This property and room was clean and well maintained. It’s an easy and great location to several restaurants, a tackle shop, a grocery store, and an awesome taco truck. Eric went out of his way several times to make the experience great.
The water did have a strong sulfur smell and took some getting used to. There could be a little bit more lighting in the room that we stayed in. There’s no vent in the bathroom, so it tends to steam.
Overall, we were happy with our stay, and hope to return again.
