Jul 9, 2018 #### Clean and comfortable. Close to everything - bars Resturants and thing to do. Hosts were terrific. Hosts were terrific. Loaned us umbrellas for most of our stay. Refurbished cottage was great beach getaway. Will return. Loved the outdoor shower. ##### Mike O. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### p k. Sep 18, 2018 #### nice little place for two good location. walkable to everything and close to our friends' rental house on Fig Lane. we loved having access to the pier for kayaks, fishing, and hanging out in the evenings and listening to the music from Jolly Roger from there. however, this property can be rented directly from Ocracoke Island Realty, so don't waste your $ going through VRBO. ##### p k. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara K. Jul 28, 2018 #### Great little bungalow on Ocracoke Island We really enjoyed our stay at the "L" on Ocracoke Island. The "L" has a great location near many activities and restaurants. We were able to walk just about everywhere except the beach, which was a 5-10 minute drive. The "L" was just the right size for two people. We appreciated being able to use the kitchen and the laundry during our stay. Hope we can stay on Ocracoke again one day, and would definitely stay at the "L" again. ##### Sara K. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Don P. Jul 20, 2018 #### Great location, the perfect 'base camp' for 2 at Ocracoke Island. Everything a couple needs to enjoy all that Ocracoke has to offer. The bed & couch were very comfortable. All appliances needed were available. Nice parking area. A little difficult to locate at night, so the only suggestion would be to add some kind of address marker near the front drive. Great place to stay. Best value for the island is Howard's Pub. A fun ambience with a generous menu selection. Blessed Bakery, is our first choice for coffee/quick breakfast. Versus 'Ocracoke Coffee' - there was an hour long line when I tried (no.. I am not exaggerating one bit) to get a couple java's, glad I decided to search elsewhere. ##### Don P.
