Can't decide between old school coastal appeal and modern comfort? Get it all with this wonderfully eclectic home that combines the very best in setting, character and convenience. With one bedroom with private bath on the third floor, and a second sleeping area on the second floor and additional full bath on the first floor, this unique bungalow is ideal for modest families or a couples getaway. Treehouse Charlie embraces outdoor living with a wrap-around deck and screened porch with gas fire pit. Nature lovers will not only appreciate the mature trees and natural surroundings, but also that Treehouse Charlie was constructed with environmental responsibility in mind. Sustainable design features include a private reverse osmosis water system, on demand hot water heater, and a metal roof that's as beautiful as it is efficient.

Inside, you'll find thoughtful details throughout: natural slate and bamboo floor, stained glass, bespoke constructed-ins, the list goes on! The open-concept, loft-inspired layout and high ceilings allow for an abundance of natural light. When you're not dining out at your favorite local restaurant on the island, prepare meals at home in the well-equipped kitchen with a gas range and farmhouse sink. Two living areas, one on the first floor and another on the second, provide plenty of room for spreading out. The second floor is furnished with a comfortable sectional in the den area, which converts to two XL twin beds, and french doors connect the space to a guest room with a twin. Note, there is no separate mini-split system in this sleeping area, so the doors will likely need to stay open. Upstairs you'll find the primary suite with king bed, private bath with jetted tub, and access to a wrap-around observation deck where you can savor your morning coffee.

When you're ready to venture out, you won't have to go far to find a variety of shopping, dining and famed Ocracoke attractions.

Tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer time is high season in Ocracoke. To find the best value, shift your family's Ocracoke vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Ocracoke area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First, have your family select dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Treehouse Charlie: Cute Cottage for Couples or Small Families has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Ocracoke rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If there's a particular Ocracoke beach you simply love, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
