Truly a sweet cottage

This cottage is truly sweet in all aspects. It is located in an area that is close to the main street but far enough away that it is quiet. The sound location is beautiful, we watched the birds every morning while we drank coffee while sitting on the deck. The interior is very nicely decorated in a slightly retro and sophisticated beach vibe. The furniture and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen had the perfect amount of space, dishes, cooking and serving utensils. The outdoor shower (with warm water!!) was also convenient to rinse off beach sand. There was even some starter soap, paper towels and bathroom tissue. The house was very clean. I had the opportunity to communicate with the owner in the weeks prior to our stay and she was very quick in responding to my communications. I would definitely consider renting this house again.

Some of the best sound-side action you'll find on Ocracoke

This spot is nice, clean, has everything you need, butts up against the sound, is in a great location, etc. You and your kids will totally dig it.

Sweet old-fashioned cottage

Nice simple cottage, old Ocracoke style. We stayed here during the cloudy, rainy week of Tropical Storm Debby but North Pond was protected from the wind, so we could enjoy it during the rain breaks- swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The place was clean and had most of the things we needed to cook. The property manager was very responsive and kind when we had a small issue. The main thing we missed was having a screened porch, which seems essential for Ocracoke, or at least a covered porch would have been nice with all of the rain. Overall, a great cottage and location.

Relaxing

Our third stay. Always peaceful and relaxing. We love that it is shady, we can kayak in the sound from the backyard and bicycle to all the cute shops. The things you need to cook a fresh seafood dinner from the local seafood market are stocked. Check in and out is always a breeze.

Perfect location

I love walking into this cheerful house it just feels like home. This was our second year at Sound House and reservations have already been made for next year! The house is always spotless and very comfortable. We love being on the sound and the North Pond is a perfect place to kayak and fish. We also like that this house is on one of the quieter streets with less traffic and hardly any walking traffic.

Our second year here, won’t be our last! Such a gem. Love the beachfront, love the cottage. Rented kayaks from Ride the Wind and watched the fireworks over the water for the Fourth- amazing! Will definitely rent them next year, it was so fun to explore around the coves. Would love more clothespins for the clothesline! Debbie is a very helpful hostess and was quick to respond to my questions. Thank you!

Such a relaxing vacation for our family. We really enjoyed Sound House for the amazing location. My kids could swim right out back and it was excellent for kayaking! The beach was gorgeous and lifeguards were on their game! Debbie was extremely responsive to our needs. Would 💯 recommend!

Peaceful

This was our second stay at this peaceful, clean house and we have already booked another stay. It is on a quiet road with a roomy kitchen, comfortable dining area and family room. My favorite part is sitting in the adirondack chair with my feet in the Pamlico Sound drinking my morning coffee watching the pelicans fish. It is a favorite get-away home away from home that is an easy bike ride close to the fun shops and delicious seafood.

Perfection!

The Sound House exceeded all our expectations! Pictures don't do it justice. The traditional beach cottage has lovely decor, a well-equiped kitchen, and a wonderful view and access to the sound. We loved being able to launch our kayaks from the backyard. We having been coming to the island for 35+ years and this is now our favorite cottage. Perfect for a couple's getaway!

Perfection

This property is perfection. Spotlessly clean, exactly as listed, within golf cart range of village and your own private beach. Property management has thought of everything right down to bedside and bathroom throw rugs. Cannot stress enough how quietly perfect this property is… but if you are looking for a party house, this is NOT it.

Cozy and quiet

Mid March. Excellent for 2 or 3 people, very good for 4. Quiet, close to everything and yet secluded. 2 trucks parked just fine, wouldn’t try 3. Sound is in backyard although we didn’t walk down this time, spent all our time beach fishing, not catching. We only visit in the off season so the entire village is peaceful and quiet. DK how it is in the summer. This was our 3rd stay at Sound House, works well for us older folks who now have to forgo lots of stairs. Debbie is a great host, always fast responses and personable.
