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.

Excellent Rental Choice

This place is excellent; it lives up to the online pictures. Great neighborhood. The decks and screened in porch are great too. The golf cart is a great extra that saves you money. On my next trip to Ocracoke, I will try to stay here again.

Ocracoke Perfection

We had a wonderful time at this property in Ocracoke! The location was wonderfully quiet and peacful, offering the perfect getaway. We especially loved having access to a golf cart and bikes, which made exploring fun and easy. The property was spotlessly clean and the screened in back porch was a great spot to relax in the evenings. The beds were super comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after our day of adventure! I highly recommend The Marshmellow for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-equipped retreat!

Perfect for a weekend away

The house fit our needs perfectly! (My husband, two 11 year old girls and my parents) The house was clean and nicely decorated. Tons of decks to enjoy the outside! Having a golf cart is an added bonus and the girls loved taking rides throughout the weekend. Kitchen was stocked with everything you could need! We are looking forward to coming back here again, and would definitely recommend staying here to others.

Amazing VRBO, great town

Derek has a wonderful home on Ocracoke with many amenities. We were happy to be able to bring our dogs along with us, and the neighborhood was great for some peace and quiet as well as running. We loved sitting out in the screened in porch as well as soaking in the sun on the front deck. Having access to a golf cart was also a pleasant surprise that we enjoyed when we didn't want to necessarily take our car to a spot in town. All around we thoroughly enjoyed getting to stay here, Derek was responsive with messages, and we look forward to booking again!
