This second-floor private suite has 1 queen bed and 1 full bath with private kitchenette (NO STOVE) and queen sleeper sofa. This space is located on the front of the house where there is a full 30ft covered porch. Great for a family of 4 or two couples looking to get away.

The only other living space on this floor is another studio on the rear of the house with its own entrance. No common spaces.

The house sits in the middle of our little island 30 miles off the mainland accessible only by ferry boat or airplane.

There are 3 ferry lines that service this island. Cedar Island, Swan Quarter and Hatteras. Cedar Island and Swan Quarter vehicle ferries require reservations and a small fee (see the NC Ferry Reservations website to reserve your date and time). The Hatteras vehicle ferry is free and first-come, first-serve. You may have to wait in line at Hatteras. The schedule for all ferries and reservations for Cedar Island and Swan Quarter are on the NC Ferry website (ferry.ncdot.gov)

No franchises are allowed on island so all the fish markets and restaurants are locally owed as are most all the businesses, family owned and operated. Restaurants get their fresh seafood directly from the local fishermen daily.
There are various festivals and special events throughout the season. Check out the Ocracoke Observer community newspaper website (ocracokeobserver.com) or Facebook page for up to date information on restaurant openings/closings and special events. This house sits within walking distance to it all.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a family friendly space with house rules and quiet hours posted in the rental agreement that you MUST read prior to booking. It's not a loud party house and OWNER reserves the right to cancel the booking (removing the guests), with or without refund, of any guests who do not abide by these house rules or demonstrate a lack of care towards the property or others while here..

We Recommend Red Beard’s!

Red Beard’s is a very nice property and we would stay again. We expected a little more cooking capability in kitchenette, but it was fine. We brought a grill and griddle. We cooked and ate on the specious front porch. Parking is tight if other guests have large vehicles, which they did during our stay, and the neighbor across the street parallel parks. The owner was very easy to contact and was responsive.

Rainy Days

Would recommend this rental for any couple looking to visit Ocracoke. It was perfect for our needs, as we were only use to sleep and prepare ourselves for going out. We had already planned on eating out for our meals, so the lack of having a proper kitchen was not a factor. Both the bed and couch were comfortable and there was ample space to move around so we never felt cramped in the studio-style setup. If we were to nitpick and find fault at all with the accommodations, it would be the reduced water pressure in the shower, but it got the job done which is all that matters. Our only negatives over the 3 night trip were all external factors out of anyone’s control as our trip was during the waning effects of Hurricane Debby. If ever we have the opportunity to try to vacation in Ocracoke again, we would definitely stay at this accommodation again.

Red Beard review

Apt 3, on 3rd floor. The building appeared to be under some construction as materials were laying around on the ramp and deck. Parking is a challenge with larger vehicles. Overall, place was clean and right in village area for biking places. Would stay here again. Never contacted property management for anything so 5 star rating to submit review.

The place was very nice. The only complaints was the access road and parking. But it wasnt that bad for the small island. The AC was nice and cold and the place was very clean.

Conveniently located and everything you need!

Ocracoke in the early spring is always a treat and this visit did not disappoint. Red Beard's Retreat is a little gem one block off Hwy 12 across from the village Variety store. Our unit was comfortably furnished and check-in was seamless. We had everything we needed and the housekeeper, Maria, lived upstairs and was always available to answer any questions we had. It was obvious that much time and thought went into the furnishing and design of the unit. We plan to visit again next year and hopefully, we'll be able to book our unit again at Red Beard's Retreat!

Great little studio rental for a couple

Eric’s condo was great for my husband and I to get away for the weekend. We were able to walk to everything in town (1/2ish mile walk), brewery 1718 and Howard pub are just around the corner and driving to the lifeguarded beach is a quick few minutes away! Mini fridge was all that was needed for us as it was just the weekend and we ate dinner out but enough room for drinks and lunch items. Not much for cooking but didn’t need that. The balcony was great! Eric was easy to communicate with and gave us a full run down upon arrival which was great! He has some beach things and bikes for guests to use. The condos are apart of his home but all have their own entrance, common stairway. Overall a great place for a couple to stay. Thanks Eric!

Pure Ocracoke

Eric’s property is perfect for chillin in Ocracoke. Centrally located near everything you want to do. He has all the beach and fishing toys you could imagine. There is a grocery store and tons of restaurants and bars a couple of minutes walk. So when you’re ready to go to the “End of the World”this is the spot. Thanks again Eric, hope to see you soon.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly and Ron Gardner

Host profile image
We are both born and raised in North Carolina. We love the beach and the mountains. Ocracoke is like a second home and we love sharing this little piece of heaven with others.

Why they chose this property

The house is one street off the main road but still within walking distance of so many restaurants and shops. Easy access without all the traffic coming past the house

What makes this property unique

We are one road back and run parallel to Irvin Garrish Rd which makes 7 restaurants, 2 food trucks, The Breeze nightclub and 1718 brewery within walking distance of the house. The back of the Sweet Tooth candy shop and Fig Tree deli are almost directly across the street from us. The grocery store is across the main road.
