The Studio is a really unique and handsome property, both inside and out. Located in the heart of the village within walking distance to all the harbor front attractions, The Studio is tucked away, shady and private. The multi level patio is located among live oaks and cedar trees. After a total remodel in 2022, the interior space features an refreshed look that is more roomy, more functional and more inviting than ever! The Studio is an adult only, pet complimentary, smoke complimentary space. Smoking is allowed outside.


This building was constructed in 1993 and used for 15 years as a working art studio. It is set back off the road, amidst giant live oak and cedar trees, and sits alongside my home, one of the islands designated historic homes. The two buildings are joined by an open breezeway behind the main gate, but when guests are in residence in the studio, we both have separate entrances on opposite sides of the property. The Studio provides all the amenities of home in a private, peaceful and tree shaded setting, with tons of attention to detail. I have tried to make the Studio somewhere I would want to stay, well cared for with tons of personality.

You enter through a completely enclosed multi leveled courtyard space complete with artwork, jasmine, hot/cold out door shower and grille. There are chairs for calming and a dining table for mealtime. Your parking is right outside the gate. Inside, the studio is colorful, unique and furnished for your complete comfort with one queen bed downstairs, a double bed in the upstairs loft space, couch, flat screen TV, completely equipped kitchen and bath with tub and shower. There is a desk and office chair ideal for working while away! The Studio provides full linen service.

This is the ideal charming and private hideaway for two. The Studio is located within walking distance of the Coffee Company, Zillie's, the harbor front and all downtown stores and eateries. We ask that you do not store or charge electric bicycles on the property.

All Studio guests are strongly urged to buy cancellation insurance through Vacation Rental By Owner. We are an island 30 miles off the coast. Things happen, to people and to the island. The ferry service to the island can be affected at any time in unpredictable ways restricting access to the island. And, we have hurricanes from June through October. Please protect yourselves.

This property is offered by Premier Partner, Debbie Wells, who also manages three other Vacation Rental By Owner properties: Dicie's House on Howard Street #1899844, SoundHouse #2203510 and CanalHouse #2760936.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Ocracoke vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the most suitable rental within your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Ocracoke restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Ocracoke visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain deals for local shops and restaurants.

Finding the best vacation home:

• Select your vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Beautiful, Historic and Private Retreat for Couples-limit 2 people has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Ocracoke rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or may be applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
