Ocracoke Island: Beautiful cottage in the village

45 Mary Ann Drive:

At "Little House by the Ferry" you can relax in hammocks and hear the ferry boats tooting their horns coming and going out of the harbor. Located near Silver Lake Harbor where all the restaurants and shops are located, you will find it easy to stroll or bike from this convenient location.

This charming 3 Bedroom (plus bonus bunk room) 1 Bath cottage has undergone a complete renovation and addition during the Spring of 2009. You will love the professionally decorated cottage decor. There are 2 hammocks for relaxing, a fenced-in dog yard, dishwasher and washer and dryer. While there is only one full bath, there is an exceptional outdoor shower with a star-filled sky above. You will never want to shower indoors again.

The large screened-in porch has vaulted ceilings and big views of open space which makes for a very private setting.

Bonus Items: We have bikes, sand chairs, beach umbrellas and boogie boards you are welcome to use. These items are not a part of the lease because we cannot guarantee they will all be in good working order at the time of your stay. It seems like there is always a bike or two out of commission at any given time.

Most of Ocracoke Island is owned by the National Park Service and there are no cottages located at the beach front. Little House by the Ferry is located in the village about a mile and a half from the beach. If you have a four wheel drive you can drive out on the beach. You can also drive or ride bikes to the life guarded beach and walk over the dunes to the beach.

Our cottage is now on city water which provides great water pressure and makes the our shower absolute heaven!

Maximum of 6 people.
Maximum of 3 parking spaces.
Maximum of 1 pet with $100 Pet Fee. (well behaved please)

Check-in time is 3:00 PM and Check-out time is 11:00 AM.

We hope you love "Little House by the Ferry" as much as we do.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. We especially appreciated that the cottage was accessible for my friend who has mobility issues. The screened in spaces allowed us to enjoy the sea air without the mosquitos. The kitchen is small but functional.

We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage's screened-in porch and walking to the nearby local establishments. This was our first time visiting Ocracoke, and the Little House by the Ferry allowed us to enjoy nearly every aspect that the island had to offer. We plan to return soon!

Great place to relax. The back porch is private, shaded and a perfect place to chill. The owner was easy to work with and very responsive. The house is private, but close to everything. You can walk to shops and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked.

We loved the cottage with surrounding trees. The weather was lovely, so we could leave doors open to feel natural cool breezes! Kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Host answered questions about the surrounding area. One thing I noticed is that the front screen door needs some repair work. Also, it is difficult to turn cold water tap off in shower. Overall, we give the cottage a A rating. We’d like to stay there again!

Lovely stop on Lighthouse Tour

This charming house is tucked away on a quiet lane, yet convenient to all the fun. Bikes are provided to aid in exploration. It is easy to stroll to see a sunset over the sound. Terrific getaway

Laid back first timers on Ocracoke

We stayed at The Little House by the Ferry for Spring Break and had a really nice time. The house was the beach cottage feel we expected from the description. The location was walkable or easy to access via golf cart any of the island but in a quiet area without foot or vehicle traffic. Our stay was cut short due to a death in the family but we enjoyed our stay very much and appreciated Marshall’s instructions and help when needed.

Perfect retreat.

We have stayed at a few ocracoke properties this one is now our favorite. Perfect for our family of four! The screened in porch is a must for Ocracoke and we enjoyed most of our time there.
