Sweet Waterfront Cottage, 4 person limit


Soundhouse is a sweet, vintage cottage on the usually quiet North Pond with it’s own sandy beach. SoundHouse has been owned by the same local family since 1972. The owner resides nearby. It features a shady front porch and a back porch with a great beautiful waterfront view, overlooking your own little sandy beach. Great for kayaking, paddle boarding, an easy walk to ferry, museum, restaurants, shopping and “downtown” waterfront with fabulous sunset views. Limited to four people, no pets, 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 2 queen beds, one twin, a large open plan kitchen, dining and living area. There is an outdoor shower and washer/dryer, but experience old Ocracoke by washing your dishes by hand, no dishwasher! Parking for two vehicles. Enjoy the soundside beach but please respect neighbor’s beachfront property lines, it’s not a community beach. We DO NOT allow powered or sailboats tied up or moored by guests of SoundHouse. This is strictly enforced. Smoking is not allowed inside SoundHouse. Smoking is allowed outside in the yard only. Events and large parties are NOT allowed in SoundHouse. Do NOT store or charge electric bicycles on the property. There is space and charging available for golf carts.

All guests of SoundHouse are STRONGLY urged to purchase cancellation insurance when you book through VRBO. Things happen. You want to be protected.

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.

Amazing Location
We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The location was just perfect. Having the sound right outside our back door to look at and kayak and paddleboard in was awesome. It was also an easy walk or bike ride to anything in town.

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!

Fabulous water front cottage
The house was very nice. Clean, spacious, great water pressure in the shower. Enjoyed the covered porch and the arondeck chairs by the water. Having the sound view and a little beach made it all the more enjoyable. Would not hesitate to rent again.

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.

Beach Vacation
Sound House is in an amazing location on Ocracoke Island. We really enjoyed the beautiful and relaxing water view and very comfortable accommodations. The cottage is very well cared for and had everything that we needed. We will definitely see if Sound House is available when we are able to return to Ocracoke.

Quiet place in a beautiful spot
Nice cottage on the sound -- clean, spacious and comfortable. Debbie, the property manager, was terrific to work with and helpful both before and during our stay. Only drawback was the TV, which was difficult to operate and poor picture quality.
