Ocracoke is a North Carolina Island is known as the ultimate secluded family vacation destination in the state !! There is so much that the island has to offer. Not only are there swimming beaches and beaches that you can drive (with a permit), but there are also lovely areas for Kayaking and fishing !!
The Grey Pearl is an original 1934's Cottage located in the heart of the Village of Ocracoke. This lovely island 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath cottage offers a quiet respite after a fun filled day at the beach and out exploring. With its central location you can literally walk or bike to everything you need !The Fantasea will have gone through a renovation by the end of February.
As you go down the drive way into Fantasea you will note it is lovely and extended to allow for maximum privacy. When you enter you will see the main house to the right. You will enter the Kitchen area of our home. The kitchen offers an open concept to the living and dining area so that as the "resident chef" you can feel included in all the conversation with your friends and family. As you will see the Kitchen has a center island for the sink and dishwasher.
The living space offers all new furniture such as the pull out sofa (Queen) with lovely, crisp cotton sheets. You will be able to enjoy Netflix on the new Roku TV, but, as always, why watch TV when you can be out enjoying the Ocracoke views !!
There are 2 bedrooms for you to choose from. The one on your left as you enter the hallway is a brand new Beauty Rest Double bed with a lovely antique Pine dresser. The ceiling fan and mini-split heat pump will ensure that you or your guest sleep well at their own temperature.
The bedroom to the right, the Master, features a new Beauty Rest Queen bed, with cooling mattress cover. Also noted in the room for your sleeping comfort is a ceiling fan and your own mini-split heat pump as well. The 2 antique old English Pine dressers are here for you to place. your belongings in so that it feels just like home !
The center hall bathroom has just experienced a "from the sand up" renovation, all the while saving as much of the original structure as we could. We know that you will love the original Bead Board ceilings and new Ship Lap walls !! What are our 2 favorite features in the bathroom??? The deep Cast Iron soaking tub and the electric wall heater !! We know this will give you hours of enjoyment as you rest after a busy day exploring the wild beaches of Ocracoke !!
And the front porch !!!! What an absolute delight you will experience with the large sofa and swing !! The wide expanse of the porch is perfect for early morning coffee and late night chats with those you have allowed to come with you on this adventure.
Our personal favorite is the outdoor shower --- After enjoying an outdoor shower you will have a hard time going inside to shower. With overhead coverage in case of rain or chilly weather, the 3/4 door gives you just enough coverage, and open air to allow even your most modest guest to enjoy the experience. One thing to be mindful of with the pipes in this historic home, someone might get chilly if both showers and dish washer are running at the same time.
All of the yard space, including the picnic table and new Pawley's Island Hammock, are yours to enjoy ! The fenced in yard is perfect for any gathering, including your pet. We do ask that all pet waste is removed from the yard as no one wants to put a toe into anything left behind!
Can you see yourself in our home? We can, as long as you promise to be neat, tidy and respectful of a place that is so dear to us !
