Harbor House 2: Waterfront home on Silver Lake Harbor - Vacation rental home in Ocracoke, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Apartment

The old home, Harbor House I, was a appeal, sitting low and snug against Silver Lake, filled with memories, and sunsets daily. But too snug it turned out... Dorian had her way and the old place sadly succumbed.
In her place, Harbor House II has risen, simple still, but made grander by its sunny openness. Made magical by its charming vistas and relaxing sounds—sunsets and the constant lapping of Silver Lake. A deep-water dock and new decking bring the harbor nearer, more accessible. Hints of the old memories remain, but far more await to be made--all of them now elevated nine feet, safe from the wrath of future Dorians. This Saturday turn day property eases you into a vacation mindset by providing linens and towels for your stay.
