Great house! Comfortable, clean, well kept, we loved the fireplace, the patios, we appreciated the golf cart and bikes and the fact that towels and linens are provided. We would definitely stay in this house again, it was perfect for our family and dog.

Unless you have your own plane when you visit ocracoke you want to stay for a while! (It’s my nice way of saying it’s hard to get to) so we were able to spend 5 nights and spread out in this terrific house. The kitchen was spotless and so well equipped (I’d never in a million years use all the kitchen stuff) porches were picturesque. We went everywhere on the golf cart! So great. My husband was actually comfortable in the bed!! Phew!

A perfect respite!
The house was exactly as described, with wrap-around decks, lots of windows, and lovely little accents. The golf cart was a definite plus! Derek was an amazing host, was quick to respond when we had a question, and he made us feel absolutely welcome. We would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful stay
We loved this place - not smack in the center of town and most everything was a 3-5 minute drive away. The golf cart took us everywhere we wanted to go. The decks were great, and multiple screened in - we enjoyed the one off the kitchen especially for both morning coffee (with the local birds) and afternoon cocktails. Really nice kitchen appliances! Very clean and the beds were very comfortable. We will come back here soon I hope.

Anniversary Day
Beautiful home. We unfortunately were there when the tropical storm hit. The screened in porch was perfect for watching the rain. Loved being in the tree tops watching all types of birds. We had one afternoon to go to SmacNallys. Ran into our old friends Ferris and Chrissy. Great to see them and catch up on Island news. Hope to stay again. Andrea

Pleasant stay for wedding
This property was great! It was a great location for us and was very clean upon arrival. Nicely equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen as well as sheets and towels. The use of the golf cart was awesome!! Communication with the boat was easy and he responded quickly. The information book provided by the host was also helpful. Great place that we would definitely rent again!

Feels like home
Everything about this property exceeded our expectations! The bikes, the golf cart, air compressor for filling tires back up after beach, extra toiletries, fully stocked kitchen, all the outdoor spaces to sit, relax, eat, read, sleep…. This place felt like home from day 1. And the host, Derek! He was super responsive and available for everything we needed. Was met by his girlfriend, Virginia with a super warm welcome when we checked in, also! Plenty of space for our family of four to not feel right on top of each other. The neighborhood is perfect to feel comfortable letting kids roam a little. Already booked for next summer! Thank you Derek!

I highly recommend the Marshmallow, absolutely perfect location and everything that you may need is right at hand. Communication with the owner is seamless. The golf cart is a huge perk compared to other places. Can’t wait to go back again!
