10/10 Excellent
"The Lucky Buc was exactly what we hoped it would be. Clean, well maintained, off the beaten path. We were there during the nor’easter, couldn’t get off the island. Russell stayed in constant contact with us during the extra days so we could continue to enjoy our stay. Rent the golf cart you’ll be glad you did. Highly recommend this bungalow and these owners. They are good people."

10/10 Excellent
"This is a vary attractive small property near the ferry at Ocracoke. I liked that it was very clean and tidy. The bedspreads and throw rugs were attractive and clean. Bedrooms are small but we only needed 2 and used the others as dressing rooms. Location is wonderful, as it’s near Silver Lake. It was nice that there were spices and cleaning supplies available. Great stay!"
