Derek's home was fantastic to stay at once again! This time around we had a group of friends with us and the house was perfect for five adults, a baby, and two dogs. Derek is also a great VRBO host who is prompt to respond to messages, and is just a really kind dude who we were lucky to meet while we were on the island this time around. I already have recommended his VRBO to others and will certainly continue to do so!

We had a wonderful stay at Derek’s place! There isn’t anything you could possibly need that isn’t in this home awaiting you. It was going to be colder weather, than we had originally anticipated, so Derek went out of his way to ensure the gas fireplace and heat was working perfectly for us upon our arrival. He truly went above and beyond, with all his recommendations and special touches, to ensure we had the perfect stay! Thank you for everything Derek!

Great place to stay!

Marshmellow is the perfect name for this house. It is located on a street in a quiet neighborhood. It’s a little further out, but the beauty of Ocracoke is that even the further out houses are only a mile or two from town. The house was clean and perfect for a family of four!

We can't say enough great things about our stay here! The house was beautiful, super comfortable, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well-appointed, and we loved having the outdoor shower, bikes, and golf cart available to use. The location was perfect—close to shops and restaurants. We loved the screened-in porches, and there were so many nice, thoughtful touches throughout the house that made our stay extra enjoyable.Our host was fantastic, answering any questions we had right away and making sure everything went smoothly. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great place to stay

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this house during our trip to Ocracoke. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and it was convenient to everything in the village. The screened in decks and porches allowed us to have dinner outside and enjoy the nice weather and the views of the island. I would highly recommend it and I look forward to staying there again when we return to Ocracoke.

If you're thinking of booking this house, do it! Absolutely perfect and great property! It looked exactly like the pictures. The host was communicative and helpful in relaying instructions and replying to questions. The location is absolutely ideal - being just a little ways off the main road so it's nice and quiet. The views off the front are awesome - you can see across the marsh to the main highway and the back of the dunes in the distance. At night there is almost no light pollution so the stargazing is exceptional. I cannot wait to stay here again.
