Marshmellow is the perfect name for this house. It is located on a street in a quiet neighborhood. It’s a little further out, but the beauty of Ocracoke is that even the further out houses are only a mile or two from town. The house was clean and perfect for a family of four!
This house was in a perfect spot ! The kitchen was very well stocked . We loved sitting on the screen back porch in the evening watching the birds.there is nothing this house didn’t have even with the weather not so great for our visit we definitely enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing your home.
We can't say enough great things about our stay here! The house was beautiful, super comfortable, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well-appointed, and we loved having the outdoor shower, bikes, and golf cart available to use. The location was perfect—close to shops and restaurants. We loved the screened-in porches, and there were so many nice, thoughtful touches throughout the house that made our stay extra enjoyable.Our host was fantastic, answering any questions we had right away and making sure everything went smoothly. We would absolutely stay here again!
This is our second time back to this gem of a house! Loved every minute here and the golf cart is such a great added bonus! Can’t wait to be back in the fall!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this house during our trip to Ocracoke. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and it was convenient to everything in the village. The screened in decks and porches allowed us to have dinner outside and enjoy the nice weather and the views of the island. I would highly recommend it and I look forward to staying there again when we return to Ocracoke.
This place is excellent; it lives up to the online pictures. Great neighborhood. The decks and screened in porch are great too. The golf cart is a great extra that saves you money. On my next trip to Ocracoke, I will try to stay here again.
If you're thinking of booking this house, do it! Absolutely perfect and great property! It looked exactly like the pictures. The host was communicative and helpful in relaying instructions and replying to questions. The location is absolutely ideal - being just a little ways off the main road so it's nice and quiet. The views off the front are awesome - you can see across the marsh to the main highway and the back of the dunes in the distance. At night there is almost no light pollution so the stargazing is exceptional. I cannot wait to stay here again.
The perfect location! Derek’s property is perfect for your stay on the island and comes with every amenity you could want. I highly recommend his home for anyone planning a trip to Ocracoke.
Absolutely perfect Ocracoke getaway! Views are fantastic from the living area and all of the porches. Everything you need is right there. The owner is a wonderful person and you can tell he takes care of the property like he lives there himself. Thank you again for the opportunity to stay with you and can’t wait to come back!
Perfect spot for a long weekend with family. Golf cart was a bonus! The porches and decks had great views of the marsh. Very well appointed kitchen. Looking forward to returning.
We had an amazing trip and really enjoyed this house. Much larger than pictured online and Derek was a fantastic host! We had everything we needed and the golf cart and bikes provided were a hit! We will definately visit Marshmellow again!
Great house! Comfortable, clean, well kept, we loved the fireplace, the patios, we appreciated the golf cart and bikes and the fact that towels and linens are provided. We would definitely stay in this house again, it was perfect for our family and dog.
We had a wonderful time at this property in Ocracoke! The location was wonderfully quiet and peacful, offering the perfect getaway. We especially loved having access to a golf cart and bikes, which made exploring fun and easy. The property was spotlessly clean and the screened in back porch was a great spot to relax in the evenings. The beds were super comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after our day of adventure! I highly recommend The Marshmellow for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-equipped retreat!
The house was exactly as described, with wrap-around decks, lots of windows, and lovely little accents. The golf cart was a definite plus! Derek was an amazing host, was quick to respond when we had a question, and he made us feel absolutely welcome. We would definitely stay here again!
