High end beach cruiser bikes, kayaks, beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach toys, coolers, Weber grill, linens and beach towels are all included with your rental. Monogrammed sheets and plush towels are just part of the special 'extras' you will enjoy. Its the perfect romantic, relaxing, get away for any couple. Honeymooners love Zillies! 4WD Jeep Wrangler available for rent. Zillies Cottage is not your average rental. Decorated throughout with beach treasures from our travels and art work by our young nieces and nephews its a magical, love filled little cottage. You will be surrounded with more special memories than you will ever know. Zillies also has an amazing outdoor shower which all our guests love (check out the reviews). The shower is decorated with our special beach treasures we've found over the years from around the world . We call it "treasure from foreign lands". :-).

Ocracoke Island is truly a special place and was voted #1 Beach in America by Dr Beach for good reason. Where else can you find 13 miles of 4 Wheel Drive accessible, uninhabited, undeveloped, pristine beaches?

Come see what makes this island special and you will fall in love with the peace and solitude you discover. Spend some time on the island and reconnect with your partner.

The cottage was warm, cozy, clean, and inviting. My wife and I were looking for a place to unplug, and Ocracoke Island was just what we needed. Renting a golf cart to tool around the island, was pure joy. We highly recommend both the cottage, we stayed in, and the island itself.

Nice place to stay. To no fault of the owner we did not stay the full time due to the power off and not able to get a shower, watch TV or store groceries.

We absolutely loved our weekend away. The cottage was perfect for our needs! And when the weather trapped us on the island, Jeff and Wendy worked with us and were able to rent it to us for an extra night. We would definitely stay here again!

Very cute and perfect for the length of stay we had. My wife is already thinking of next year and when to return! The owners of the wine shop were originally from Richmond as we were and we kinda hit it off with them. Everything was as detailed as you stated. A couple of light bulbs were out and the front door lock was loose (I fixed) but other than that it couldn't have been better as was the weather. Thanks so much!

Nice rental for a couple. Clean and well maintained. It is a little small, but has everything you need to during your stay. Be advised the stairs both going into the property and up to the second floor are very steep. Might be an issue for some older folks. Parking is a little tight if you have a big car or truck. Location is behind Zilly’s store. We both would recommend this place to stay while in Ocracoke. Property owner seemed like very nice people and were helpful to us during our stay.

This is our second visit to Zillie’s Cottage. It is a wonderful getaway place. It is tucked in directly behind Zillie’s Pantry, a great place to have a glass of wine or craft beer. The hosts provide both bicycles and kayaks. We certainly enjoyed biking around the village during our stay. We highly recommend this cottage for any couple wanting to enjoy a nice quiet retreat. The hosts maintain the cottage well and are easy to communicate with. There is one consideration -You need to be comfortable climbing stairs.

Our stay at Zillies cottage on Ocracoke was relaxing and fun. The island is a great place to escape from the routine and demands of the 9 to 5 world. The cottage was charming and centrally located to many fantastic restaurants and shops. We wish we could have stayed longer and look forward to a chance to return to the island life.

This place was just as advertised. A little gem on Ocracoke for large enough for a couple. My wife and I enjoyed our time at the Zillies cottage and our time on Ocracoke. We will be coming back for sure! Thank you to Wendy and Jeff, for allowing us to spend time in their cottage. We LOVED IT!

This is our third time renting Zillies and it's the coziness that we love along with the amenities. The location is great to walk to resturants and my wife's favorite coffee, Ocracoke Coffee Shop. We loved riding the bikes provided and the owners are very responsive and helpful. If you rent Zillies you won't be disappointed.

After spending an enjoyable week with extended family up in Nags Head, Denise and I traveled to Ocracoke to recharge! :) Jeff and Wendy's cottage was just what we needed. Off the main drag, many of one's needs are within walking distance to the village. Lots of great food options, the local museum, stores, ice cream shop, outdoor recreation alternatives, NPS tours/talks, the ferry (Swan Quarter& Cedar Island) and perhaps best of all, right on one of the Tram (free shuttle service) stops which can take you around many of the other sights at the south end of the island. Highly recommended. ~ Scott and Denise B.

Ocracoke is a great, small community. The beach which runs the entire island is amazing. Couldn’t go wrong with any of the local eateries. Cottage is a good place for 2 people to sleep and unwind. Only drawback was sharing deck space with shop. Owners of shop are very friendly.

Cute, comfortable, and clean. We enjoyed staying at this quiet property, of course, it was off-season. Our ferry was canceled due to high winds and the owners offered us some flexibility if we needed it, but we ended up taking the Hatteras ferry instead (the only one running that day) and doing some driving back-tracking to make our next night’s stay. Thanks for a great stay!

Zillies Cottage was the perfect getaway for my wife and I! They prepared the cottage with all the necessary things you need for Ocracoke, so we didn’t have to bring much! Great use of space, excellent views from the decks, great location on the island! Located behind Zillies Bar it was a 25 second walk home after hanging out there!
