This was our third time staying in the Treasure Chest. It’s located in a very quiet area of Ocracoke but within walking distance of the village and only a short drive to beautiful beaches. The Harbor Inn office provided excellent service!

This was exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our anniversary. It was the perfect size for us and had a great view. We didn't want to leave and hope to come stay again!

Right on the tip end of Springer’s Point Nature Preserve, and a stone’s throw from the inlet, this is the perfect getaway for two. Big, comfy bed, nice bathroom, right-sized living room with dining table and kitchen, peace and quiet; it’s all you need. And the screen porch overlooking the marsh and open water is just amazing.
We did a lot of our own cooking in the kitchen. The management does a fantastic job of cleaning out stuff left behind, so don’t expect to find the usual four jars of paprika and thirty-leven other spices - bring your own stuff. The Ocracoke Variety Store (grocery store, singular) is surprisingly well-stocked, but you can’t count on it having everything you want, so think about what you like to have on hand when you cook, and bring it with you. Plan ahead - you can’t expect to run out and grab everything you need. Otherwise, you’ll be set. And this side of the village is a walker’s paradise!
I shouldn’t recommend Treasure Chest so highly, as it will probably make it harder to reserve, but for a lovely and peaceful getaway, you can’t go wrong.

The home is the right size for two. Very clean and plenty of extras ie. paper products. Easy access to the water. We enjoyed our stay as who knew the winds would make you want to be inside versus outdoors. Highly recommend the rental. We will be back.

Best View!
We loved staying at the Treasure Chest! The house is perfect for a couple. The bed is super comfy. The air conditioning is great (we have stayed at some houses where the air seems to never get cool enough). There is a lot of foot traffic on this road but you don’t notice when you are in the house. Most of our inside time was spent on the porch overlooking the sound. I thought the laundry being at a different location would be an inconvenience but we made the best of it. It takes about an hour and a half to do two loads and we used that time to explore the area around the lake. The people at the Inn were super nice. We will definitely stay at the Treasure Chest again!!

Great location, beautiful sunset views, clean and well stocked.
We LOVED the “Treasure Chest”! It is nestled on the Pamlico Sound with remarkable views off the pack, screened porch. It is convenient to local restaurants, shops, and the lighthouse. We highly recommend this “treasure”’of a place for two! We will definitely return to this new found paradise! ❤️

Love Ocracoke - Love Treasure Chest
Wonderful property for 2! Loved the screened-in porch. We could only stay for a few days but hope to stay longer in the future. We've stayed multiple places in Ocracoke and this was our favorite 1 bedroom accommodation! You cannot go wrong staying here.

Great house with an amazing view.
This house was perfect for my girlfriend and I. This was my first time staying on this side of the island in 30 years and we were able to discover places I had never seen. Springers point nature trail is a short walk away and definitely worth checking out.

Excellent
It was very clean, great location to walk to most places on the island. The kitchen had plenty of dishes a d cookware. Plenty of supplies to make it through 5 days. The porch was perfect and the view was excellent. If there are people staying in the neighboring properties you can hear them if they are outside. Otherwise very quiet. Check in and check out was very simple. Staff was friendly and helpful. This was perfect for 2 people. Couldn’t have been happier!

Quiet, private retreat with wonderful view of the sound.
Cozy and comfy, everything you need for a relaxing time on the island. With the view you almost feel like you have the island to yourselves.

A Sweet Spot That Doesn't Get Much Better!
I have stayed at the Ocracoke Harbor Inn and on this property in Margaritaville some years ago. It was so good to be back! I loved this garage apartment. Everything was so clean and comfortable. The screened porch over the marsh with the view of the sound is a great spot to chill. You could hear a pin drop at night and it's very dark in that area which I like. Great stars at night! Ocracoke is a favorite spot of mine and this is my favorite spot on Ocracoke. You can walk down the beach and on to the Springer's Point trail which is a beautiful maritime forest. I rented a kayak on the lake at Ride The Wind and kept it on the grass in front so I could paddle the pristine waters everyday. I love paddling the creeks and to the backside of SouthPoint where the birds are. So many birds! The carry out from Thai Moon, Dajio's and Helio's were excellent. Ocracoke has great food. I wasn't able to do my usual local music, shops, bookstore and massage with Amy Hilton this time but there was still so much to do. I am happy to see that Ocracoke has made a comeback after Hurricane Dorian. There are some very determined and special people who make Ocracoke a one of a kind sweet spot!

Wow, this place was PERFECT for two. My fiancé and I enjoyed our last minute vacation at the Treasure Chest. The home was very clean, nice furnishings and wonderful location! There is not one negative comment I could make, we can’t wait to come back!

Charming little house!
This is a great place for a couple. We loved the location too. The house is obviously very well cared for with a beautiful bathroom and nice furnishings (a welcome change from some rentals at the beach), and we had a wonderful time. The manager is local, very communicative, and on top of things. We would definitely stay here again!

Time at the Treasure Chest
Very fortunate to find this gem on VRBO. It is a beautiful one bedroom cottage on the second floor which provides beautiful views of the Sound and spectacular sunsets. It is ultra up to date, ultra clean and it was so nice to have a couple of days of paper supplies to get us started. The management person was so extremely helpful and easy to contact. Would recommend this for any single person or couple. Convenient to everything. Fabulous Stay!!!!!!

What a wonderful 3 days we spent at the "Treasure Chest!" The view of the Sound was magnificent with gorgeous sunsets. We had everything we needed when we cooked/grilled at home and couldn't have been happier with our stay.

Sweet cottage with great Pamlico Sound views
This was our second year in a row visiting Ocracoke and staying at the Treasure Chest. This cottage is perfect for a couple or someone needing a solo vacation. It has all of the amenities there for you to make a meal (bring all your own food, including condiments/spices), there is a dishwasher and the bathroom is large and stocked with plenty of towels. The bed is springy, so if you have a restless partner there's a lot of transfer of movement and you may not sleep so great. I'm a light sleeper so that may not bother others. Also, don't leave anything at all on the kitchen counters or you'll have lots of ants come in. There are already scouts there and they'll bring reinforcements! We were careful to keep the counters and sink very clean and that helped tremendously. The location of the cottage is perfect: it's quiet and away from the busier activity, and the walk to the sound beach is two houses away. The view is gorgeous from the screened deck and we enjoyed watching the sunsets there. We love the location of the cottage and the amount of space is perfect for us!

Top 10 reasons it's so hard to leave the Treasure Chest, the little house on the edge of the earth
1. It is COZY!!!
2. It's super clean
3. Its open design is laid out perfectly
4. It's got 2 decks, one for sunrise, the other for sunset
5. It's soooooo quiet
6. The sunset deck (which is covered, unlike the pictured deck) overlooks the Oregon Inlet, which connects the Atlantic Ocean to the mainland
7. The sunset deck looks right at Portsmouth Island, which is kinda like the east coast
Alcatraz: its well-maintained buildings haven't been inhabited in decades
8. You don't have to dash out on the first morning (we checked in late) since there were filters and coffee in the kitchen already
9. Even though it's immaculate and well appointed, it feels just like home--your home as long as you're there--not like a museum or a set for a real estate brochure
10. It's at the western edge of Ocracoke Island, the coolest place on the east coast (you don't think Blackbeard hung out in Martha's Vineyard, do you?)
My love and I hadn't stayed under the same roof in over 5 years. Long irrelevant story, the only point of which is this: after nothing but a few phone calls, we knew we were putting everything on the line with a weekend getaway together in person to see if our newfound magic would take. We chose the Treasure Chest. Seemed like a fitting name for a massive, crazy gamble.
WOW!!! It worked. We're both kind of still stunned. If you wanna feel like a couple of starstruck teenagers, come here. It's got the goods.

Treasure Chest is a real treasure!
This cozy little, romantic cottage for two, was just what we wanted. It had beautiful sunset views over the sound and everything we needed. Absolutely spotless and the best rental agency ever. What a wonderful vacation!

Better than we imagined!
We had such a great time on Ocracoke. The Treasure Chest turned out to be a beautiful little house, just perfect for two. The view was amazing and better than we expected. I think we spent 90% of our time on the screened porch, looking out at the sound whether we were drinking our morning coffee or watching the sunset with a glass of wine. The house was immaculate, the bed very comfortable and the kitchen had all the cooking utensils we needed. The only thing we had trouble with was the grill. We couldn't get it to light (which may have been b/c of the wind) and it needed a good cleaning. We got along fine without it though.
We liked being able to easily walk down to the sound side beach where the water is calm and warm. We also had fun renting bikes and riding them all over the island exploring the cute, unique shops. We love that all the businesses are independently owned. The meals we had at Dajio and Cafe Atlantic were both excellent. The "mermaid float" at the Slushy Stand is a great afternoon treat. And be sure to try some locally caught seafood from the Ocracoke Seafood Company. Delicious! And of course, Ocracoke's beaches are unbelievably wild, and beautiful. We even found a perfect conch shell to bring home. We can't wait to go back!
