Of I could give 10 stars I would!!

Morning Star was perfect for our family. Being on Lighthouse Rd, we felt like part of the community, even met some neighbors. We were centrally located, and with a golf cart, we could access the whole village in minutes! The beds were very comfortable, the shower was perfect and the whole house and decor made us feel at home from the moment we walked in. Spending evenings on the front porch people watching was one of our favorite pastimes! I would recommend Morning Star to anyone!

Wonderful!

We had a beautiful stay on Ocracoke at Morning Star with our kids (11, 8 and 5). The house was the perfect home base for our vacation and was spacious and comfortable. We especially appreciated the screened in porch and outside shower. Would love a corkscrew and vegetable peeler in the kitchen, but other than that it was well-equipped for cooking meals (we mostly ate in) and it was spotlessly clean. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Wonderful vacation home

Great location near the lighthouse. First floor king room, & two 2nd floor Queen & Twin rooms. Nicely decorated living areas.. The screened porch off the kitchen was great. Coffee & breakfast there every morning. The kitchen could be a little better stocked. We were just two couples, but for a 3 bedroom rental, I think you would need more dishes, etc. This was our first trip to Ocracoke. We loved it. Our friend had a 4-wheel drive, so we could drive on the beach. There is a tram system with multiple pick-up & drop-off locations. Very cool. We loved The Flying Melon, Ocracoke Coffee, & of course Howard’s Pub. We will return to Ocracoke & would rent this lovely home again.

Adorable Cottage home

This beautiful updated home was more then I expected. A trip for my daughter’s wedding on the island turned into what will now be a yearly vacation spot. This home location was great, the multiple porches awesome, amenities exactly what you need to just show up with your food and clothes and your all set. The updated home is perfect for a large family. Very comfortable and unless it’s booked I’ll never select another home on the island. Everyone that stopped by were so impressed. Highly recommend
