The house sits in the middle of our little island 30 miles off the mainland accessible only by ferry boat or airplane.
There are 3 ferry lines that service this island. Cedar Island, Swan Quarter and Hatteras. Cedar Island and Swan Quarter vehicle ferries require reservations and a small fee (see the NC Ferry Reservations website to reserve your date and time). The Hatteras vehicle ferry is free and first-come, first-serve. You may have to wait in line at Hatteras. The schedule for all ferries and reservations for Cedar Island and Swan Quarter are on the NC Ferry website (ferry.ncdot.gov)
No franchises are allowed on island so most businesses are locally owned. Restaurants get their fresh seafood directly from the local fishermen daily.
There are various festivals and special events throughout the season. Check out the Ocracoke Observer community newspaper website or Facebook page for up to date information on restaurant openings/closings and special events.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a family friendly space with house rules and quiet hours posted in the rental agreement that you MUST read prior to booking. It's not a loud party house and OWNER reserves the right to cancel the booking (removing the guests), with or without refund, of any guests who do not abide by these house rules or demonstrate a lack of care towards the property or others while here.

It was a good place to stay , parking was tight. But that's everywhere on the island.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Thank you for the opportunity to stay at Red Beard's Retreat. We didn't spend a lot of time in the suite. But the time we spent was nice. The property is very clean and comfortable. It was perfect for a four day get away to the island!
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
This was a great location- it was quiet and close to many things. The rooms were spacious and we fit four adults, a child, and 2 dogs somewhat comfortably. The two complaints would be that there is only one parking spot for the suite. We had two vehicles and two golf carts. If we didn’t have a nearby place that other family was staying that we could leave our car at, im not sure what we would have done. We could barely fit the golf carts with the one vehicle we were able to have at the property. The floors were also dirty. It smelled very clean when walking in but the moment our 1 year old started crawling around we noticed how dirty the floors were. It didn’t even seem like a swiffer was used. It was otherwise a clean unit and had everything we needed.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2023
The place was in a convenient location, pretty much within walking distance of most things. Amenities were basic. Bring your own sheets, towels, toiletries, and blankets. Nothing fancy, but served the purpose. It was pretty spacious and parking was easy. Clean and easy to get in and out of. Hostess was easy to work with, but we really didn't have anything that needed attention.
