Couldn’t have been any better!

I highly recommend the Marshmallow, absolutely perfect location and everything that you may need is right at hand. Communication with the owner is seamless. The golf cart is a huge perk compared to other places. Can’t wait to go back again!

Marshmallow

We loved the location of the property. It is in a very quiet area on the island and Derek has thought of everything one could possibly need. We felt like the house was bigger than it appeared in the listing. Having the golf cart at the house was huge and saved us a few hundred dollars by not having to rent one. Derek was great to work with. My truck had to get towed off the island but he sent someone to the house to try to assist to fix the problem. We’ve really couldn’t have asked for a better host or house.

first time staying on the island

we had four people and some puppies. the home was absolutely as listed or better. Derek has all the kitchen equipment and gadgets you could need and the only minor issue we had was remedied in a couple of hours and was probably on our party to begin with. great neighborhood, great location, awesome place!!

Carefree Island Vacationing

Derek provided us with the perfect setting for an incredible girl’s getaway! Marshmellow had everything we needed and more. The fully stocked kitchen was incredible (the coffee set-up alone was swoon worthy). We spent every available moment on the many outdoor porches - drinking coffee in the morning and star gazing, watching thunderstorm over the ocean, playing cards, listening to music, having cocktails all night long….. While the sun was up, we used the provided bicycles to ride to the beach, drove the golf cart for dining at the many spectacular Ocracoke restaurants, went kayaking around the island, and took an incredible yoga class with Virginia at Ocracoke Island Yoga. (**** The golf cart was an awesome bonus to this rental!!!***) Derek was the best host, so easy to contact and quick to respond to all of our questions. All in all, this was a fantastic R&R vacation and we feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful spot for our trip!

Enjoyed Long Weekend on Ocracoke

This is a great house. It fit our needs perfectly. We did not have our dog with us this trip, but would be a great house for a dog. I loved the natural light throughout the upper floor and all the decks and the nice screened porch. The neighborhood was quiet. The kitchen is updated. Plenty of room to relax. Very nice to have access to a golf cart. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Ocracoke. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

The best

First off, thank you to the owner! Above and beyond. Have stayed in multiple places in Ocracoke over the years and this one is perfect for a family that likes their space! With multiple, separate outdoor spaces, room for rowdy, reading and coffee! Extremely well appointed and just overall awesome. Can’t wait to go back in the fall. Thank you again!!

Magical

We loved our stay at Marshmellow! Ocracoke is already a very magical place but the houses are usually what makes it seem like you’re living the Ocracoke dream and Marshmellow did not disappoint! The house had everything we needed and the golf cart was probably my favorite part. We were able to go anywhere on the island to eat or shop. Derek was very responsive and a pleasure to rent from.

Great fall weekend!

This is an amazing home to stay in. Very clean and exactly as described. The host was very responsive to any questions we had leading up to our stay and while we were there. Home has all amenities a family would need which helped immensely when packing for the trip (crock pot.. dog crate.. air compressor for off road trucks.. these are underrated major benefits). I was also able to work from the beautiful office while having perfect internet connection via the provided Starlink wifi. This is a great home to stay at for 4 adults and I'd recommend it to everyone.

Marshmellow

We could not have picked a better place to stay in Ocracoke! Marshmellow was everything listed and more! Derek was wonderful and so quick to answer our questions. The house was so comfortable! We loved sitting on the screened-in porch and sitting on the front deck at night looking at the stars. The golf cart was such a bonus and we explored the town on the bikes. Derek was so generous and the house had everything we could’ve asked for. We can’t wait to come back!

Perfect getaway

We stayed in touch with the owner as our reservation closely followed a tropical storm. The house was perfect, as described, and well situated for a peaceful stay in the Village. Kitchen has everything needed for cooking in (and then some); the barware is impressive. Outdoor spaces gave everyone the privacy needed or gathering space desired. Access to the golf cart made everything feel more like a vacation as we never used our cars except going to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!
