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!

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.

The cottage was perfect for the three of us. The back yard on the sound was wonderful. Debbie was helpful with a couple questions we had. The only thing that was a disappointment was the outdoor shower. It was lacking hot water and water pressure. Some in our group really enjoy the outdoor shower while on a beach vacation.

Wonderful Time!
What a wonderful place! The minute you walk-in the front door you are greeted with windows that look out into the Sound. Such a serene feeling! The house was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. TV & Wi-Fi worked well and the water pressure in the shower was fantastic! My son & I absolutely loved being able to walk out into the water and playing on the little sound side beach. There are lots of hermit crabs to watch play out there! Watching the boats come & go was also a fun way to pass some time. The house is close enough to walk or bike to anywhere in town. We spent many nights walking to the ice cream shops & T-shirt stores. We had a great time at the Soundhouse and would suggest it to anyone looking for a great spot on the water!

Kewl spot near the sound and walkin' distance to stuff
This spot is great for anyone, but perhaps especially families, as there's a calm private beach area for kids to swim in and walkin' distance to the action is very straightforward.

Wonderful Ocracoke home!
First off, this was the cleanest rental I've ever booked. The location is ideal - minutes from restaurants, sites, shops, etc - but down a sweet, quiet residential street. The beds were very comfortable and the shower had amazing water pressure. Back porch and yard were lovely with nature all around, places to sit and a view. If you bring a paddle board or kayak, head around the jetty for amazing sunsets. 10 out of 10 in my opinion!

Perfect spot for a family of 4
We love Ocracoke, and this house was perfect for our vacation. Close to everything (we rented a golf cart) but quiet street with beautiful sound views. We loved coming home from a day on the beach and getting to still enjoy the swimming, fishing, and views in front of the house. The house was super clean and I loved the simple decor. Thankful for the washer/dryer and the outdoor clothesline for wet suits and towels. Shower pressure inside was wonderful, outdoor shower was kind of a disappointment but did the job of hosing off sand. Beds were comfy and plenty of space to set suitcases/ groceries/ etc. We plan to rent this house again next summer- thank you for sharing it with us!

Sound front and private beach - need we say more?!
We absolutely loved calling Sound House "HOME" for two weeks! From the minute we walked in our unforgettable vacation started. Sound House has a cheerful vibe with a beautiful view. We were thankful for the sunshade on the backporch - great spot for morning coffee and afternoon drinks. The sound front beach is a great place to launch kayaks and to fish. Upon arrival the house was spotless. Debbie was quick to respond to a couple of questions we had during our stay. Sound House left us with great memories! *Word of advice~always lock the outdoor shower so you don't wake up in the middle of the night asking, "WHAT is that banging?!" *Reservations are made for next year!!
