About this cottage rental
This cottage has a wonderful front porch for enjoying sitting outside and relaxing. The view is of Teeters campground. It was renovated in 2018 and a second bedroom was added in 2019. It is a two bedroom (queen in the master and bunk beds in the other)we do NOT provide sheets, one bath, open floor plan with living room and kitchen. The kitchen is very basic, if you are planning to cook gourmet meals, this is NOT the place for you. Ocracoke has many wonderful restaurants. The location is within walking distance to Silver Lake and the shops and restaurants and is spitting distance from the British Cemetery. The beach is a mile from the rental. There is a Smart TV in the first bedroom and living room with internet and cable. You will need your own Netflix, Hulu or Amazon account, and for those that are not tech savvy, we have cable. We do NOT post on Craigslist, so if you see it there it is not us renting it. We only go through VRBO/Home Away.
We do not offer refunds for weather related cancellations, ferry issues or illness. We highly recommend that you purchase optional travel insurance. If you want to do early check in there is an additional $45 fee. It is extra added stress for our cleaners to have everything ready for those that get here on an early ferry. Normal check in time is 3:30 pm and check out time is 11:00. If you want to check out late it is a $100 fee.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Buccaneer and would highly recommend!

A great little cottage at a great price. Nicely located to walk everywhere. Kitchen had everything we needed when we did cook in. We did not take advantage of it but there is a cart right on site. Our only complaint was the living room TV. The only channel we were able to get was PBS.

We always love staying at the Buccaneer. Ellen & Russell keep this plus their other two cottages in great shape. Always clean and location is just 2 blocks from down town.

We loved our stay at the buccaneer. It had everything we needed, including the availability to rent a golf cart. Renting a golf cart really enhanced the stay, allowing us to travel around Ocracoke easily. The location was great, super convenient to the village. Ellen and Russell were fantastic hosts, super responsive and very helpful. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. I would love to come back another time!

The rental was great and so were the property owners. It was the perfect size for 3 adults and 2 dogs, with room to spare.

Was a very nice place had everything thing we needed. upon arrival one of the air conditioners was not working I texted the owners and they were very responsive and came over to fix it right away. they very nice people and talked briefly to me and my mom about restaurant recommendations and what's there is to do. There was even a golf cart on site to rent if you wanted to Over all would definitely be back thanks again

This was our second time staying at the Buccaneer and I'm sure we'll do it again. The place is the perfect size for a small family and has everything you need. We love that there's an outdoor shower and a charcoal grill. The induction cooktop takes a little getting used to, but we're pros now and it's super fast. Only complaint was the wifi signal was pretty weak - my little guy likes to stream TV in the living room and we couldn't get anything to load. Other than that, it was absolutely perfect! Extra points for being close to the Back Road. We love the scenery (and shade!) on our morning runs and little excursions. It was super convenient to have the golf cart to zoom around in also! Will definitely book again.

This is the third time that we are staying with the Grants family. We love to stay with them, because the neighbor is really quiet, the house is really clean and cozy. we feel like we are staying at home. We love it.

Loved the house. Cozy and had all the amenities we needed. Love the location. I enjoyed taking my coffee across the street in the morning to watch birds in the friendly old tree that stands sentinel for the historic cemetery.

This was our first time staying on the island and we were there for a family event. The Buccaneer was the perfect size for 2 - 4 people. We rented their golf cart to get around the island and had a great time driving around. We also were lucky with the weather and got 3 great beach days.
I knew going down there was not a full kitchen. The convection stove was difficult to cook on and there is no oven / dishwasher.
If being able to cook is important to you be aware of these difficulties. Otherwise it was fine.

Ellen and Russ were fantastic and super friendly! The location of this cottage could not be beat. It is within walking distance of everything in the village. The cottage had everything we needed for our week-long stay and was nicer than the pictures give credit to.

Perfect for my husband and myself! Clean, nice kitchen, quiet, and I loved the outdoor shower! Perfect for two, or a family, as we never even used the extra bedroom.

Overall my wife and I love this place, it’s clean and cozy. If you’re use to a 3000 sq. ft. place, this is not for you, but if you want cozy & intimate, this is it. It was our 2nd stay, and it will likely not be the last. I would give 5 stars but my only complaint is the AC. I know not everyone needs or uses air, but I feel the window units are just not powerful enough. It was fine in the bedroom if you shut the door though. The outdoor shower is great and private and the owners are very good at responding to messages.

We were so pleased with The Buccaneer. This was our first time traveling to the OBX so we weren't sure what to expect. The house had everything we need (bring your own sheets and towels!) and was the perfect size for us (2 adults, 2 children). The outdoor shower was so handy for beach days. The location was great for being close to all things in the village, and the golf cart rental was great. Communication with the owners was quick and easy. I'd recommend this spot to anyone! Not a single negative experience, not even bugs!

We had the best vacation on Ocracoke. The rental was updated and clean. We had all we needed and there was plenty of space. Our girls loved having their own room (very spacious too.). The porches were great, giving us plenty of room to lay our shells and beach toys to dry. We didn’t need to cook much so the kitchen provided everything we needed. Although this unit is close to the road, we heard no noise at night. We felt safe and my daughters even played in the front (side) yard while we watched from the porch. I highly recommend staying here. The owners were so helpful and very friendly.

This rental has a great location on Ocracoke and is an easy walk to many great restaurants, coffee shop, ice cream shops, etc.
There are three separate air conditioners which helps please all for different sleeping temps. Full size frig and enough to cook some small meals. No dishwasher or washer/dryer is about the only thing missing but didn't bother us.
Favorite feature is the front porch. Might have missed it or maybe its hard to see in the photos online but there's a covered porch with 4 high top seats and table. We played dominos and poker at night. Just bring bug spray, same as anywhere on Ockracoke.

We enjoyed our stay and especially the outdoor shower and on property golf cart rental. The owners were very friendly and this was the perfect size for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 toddlers). We can’t wait to stay again!

The property is clean, and well looked after, had everything we needed, is conveniently located, has a out door shower and a golf cart to rent which was very nice and the owner left clear and helpful notes in the propertyand labled things well. The only thing I can think to add that would be really nice is if the porch was screened in, the bugs made it hard to enjoy the deck but other than that we loved it and plan to rent this property again.

We love staying here. It’s close to everything, you can walk over to get ice cream, or down to the ferry. The house has everything we need and now also has golf carts to rent at much cheaper prices than the rental companies. Ellen is a great host and we love getting to visit with her.

This is our fourth year in a row coming to ocracoke this time of year and our stay at the buckaneer this year was very comfortable. They’ve made some changes since the photos were taken and i found the place to be bigger than I expected. The hosts were nice and responsive. They have very a very affordable golf cart available for rent. I will say the bathroom and bedrooms can be very dark, if you wear even a little make up, I’d bring a lighted mirror. The water pressure also left a bit to be desired, but those two critiques are small potatoes. The value is great, perfect location, and comfortable.

This cottage was great! Updated and very clean. The hosts were very responsive. The area outside is a little noisy, but with the bedrooms in the back of the house, it didn't affect our sleep. Would definitely stay here again!
