Charming, older cottage. Perfect for a couple and a pet.
However, we did not enjoy the seclusion of the property. Being behind another house.
Russ was great with golf cart issue.
Wonderful experience.

Third stay in this property, fourth with this owner. Very happy with the stay. Only suggestion would be a section of palisade fence between the second door and the outdoor shower. Property is actually even more quiet now since the campground across the way became annual leases only.

Was just what we needed for three nights for me and my wife. Very clean place. Seem to be very safe area. We had a golf cart waiting on us within 10 feet of our door area. Would definitely stay here again. Great communication. Really enjoyed our stay, thank you

Loved location of cottage! Easy walk to shopping and restaurants. Outside shower was great.
Bed was comfy. Living area needed repair to couch and several spotlights were out. The AC unit in living area was very loud. The place stayed nice and cool though, The cottage was very quiet which was nice.

What I liked was the location. We stayed there to attend the Ocrafolk Festival, and we were only 2 minutes away (by bike). Also having a parking spot for our car right next to where we were staying was great, even though we never used our car the entire week. The area was also quiet, which was nice.
What I did not like was the clutter and the general condition of the house. It's small and space is at a premium. The couch was way to big. There was a stool that was unnecessary and just taking up room. A decorative tchotchke on the coffee table was also unnecessary and was quickly placed out of the way onto the floor. Other minor issues that detracted from the stay included dull cutting knives that were in dire need of sharpening and only one dinner knife. We were told to bring our own toaster as there was none. That turned out to be false. There were 3 coffee makers, 2 of which just took up more space. There were no clothes closets and very few clothes hooks, so you wound up throwing clothes where ever you could find a space. The outside deck had a 2-piece gate which was difficult to open and close. It also was made up of rusty chicken wire which was broken in places and presented a cutting hazard. One of the chaise lounges had broken straps.
I bring these mostly minor issues up because it appears the owners have not visited the house in a while to check its condition. None of these on their own was a big deal, but taken together they add up.

The cottage was perfect for how we wanted to spend our getaway. Dinners out, fishing, beach and long walks. I could make breakfast and put together lunch for our outings. It was wonderful having our dog and meeting Noodles….the owners dog who is absolutely darling. My husband and I will keep this location in our favorite file for the future!!!

My husband and I made an excellent choice when we decided to stay at The Lucky Buc! It was perfect for a long weekend get-away! It was very clean, very easy to find, and located in a good spot right in the middle of the village, yet off of the main road just far enough. We really enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend anyone looking for a cozy, pet-friendly spot to vacation to check it out!! :)

It was not very clean, hole under the door, raccoons on porch during day trying to get in trash. I thought the raccoons could possibly pass through that hole so we stuffed it. We could not leave our dog on the patio because of this. The gate was broken. The floor was full of sand. The couch was also broken and sticky. Odd and end pieces in kitchen. Be sure to bring EVERYTHING you need because they do not supply anything. Too add good points the check in and out was awesome. Host was extremely kind and accommodating. The AC works fantastic and you need it there trust me. The island was so much fun and the beach amazing. Once we got everything clean, the place was ok. I would invest in fixing things, a new couch and chair, fix the gate, the hole, update utensils in the kitchen, leave trash bags and paper towels even dish soap and cleaning supplies. If your guest tear anything up, make them pay for it. You’re in a great location but you could do better so just do better. Good luck to you in the future.

My dog and I enjoyed staying at the Lucky Buc. It was a comfortable oasis after a day at the beach. The cottage was very clean, and nicely decorated. It was a little too hot, and a little bit too many mosquitos to spend very much time out on the nice deck, but the enclosure was very nice for my dog. The outdoor shower was really great for washing off sandy feet and sandy paws before coming inside. AC worked well. Owners were very nice. I'll book again for next year.

We had a incredible time staying in this lovely home for a week. Was clean, private location, big deck, had pretty nature views, friendly and helpful owners, secure gate for fur babies & the outdoor shower was also incredible…truly couldn’t have asked for more! We will definitely rent the lucky buc in the future!

This cottage is very quaint and comfortable. It was very convenient to shopping and dining. The only downfalls are the alley and parking in the rear are not attractive and at first impression gave us the feeling of "Oh my god, what did we get into." The interior of the cottage reassured us though. The little deck had no view of anything but wasn't advertised as such either. Overall our stay was comfortable for a reasonable rate.

The cottage was perfect for my husband and I along with our Labrador “Squidder”. The deck was gated, perfect for the dog to enjoy being outside with us. The cottage had all the amenities. The convenience of being able to rent a golf cart is a nice option. Thanks for a wonderful weekend in Orcacoke The Hudsons’

We love Ocracoke and have been going there for over 11 years. Last few years we stayed at several different places and were not pleased. We really liked the Lucky Buc and will stay here again!’ Clean and comfortable and convenient to town!

We had a great stay here. The property was as described. It suited our needs perfectly (large enough for two and reasonably priced). The hosts are very friendly and helpful.

The owners are excellent first and foremost, they are accommodating and keep great communication.
The place was very clean, the ac was cold, and it was more than we expected inside. Not far from shops, the ferry or most restaurants. The deck was nice, the outdoor shower, though we didn't use it, looked great and modern.
You can expect visits from the dog, noodles, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip.
Wonderful experience, would stay again.

We have typically vacationed on Hatteras Island, but this year we decided to change it up and stay on Ocracoke and I'm so glad we did!
The Buc was the perfect spot for me and my husband. Excellent location. We could walk to most places we wanted to get to. We enjoyed the deck and the lounge chairs in the evening, and the outdoor shower after a day at the beach. We highly recommend this place and we hope to go back next year!

This is our 2nd time staying at the Lucky Buc and had a wonderful time!
There were internet/phone issues on the island and the host replied to our message immediately.
Beautiful sunsets on the porch and plenty of wildlife this time of year.
Very dog friendly! Our dogs love this place.
Hosts AND their pups are very friendly & welcoming.
Looking forward to our next stay!

Great stay!
This is a great option for a couple who will spend most of the trip outside the home. It has a lot of Ocracoke charm and the outdoor shower was amazing! The property was clean and comfortable. I did miss having a shady place outside to spend time before/after the beach.

Cozy & Cute
We loved this little cottage with our pups! The cottage is decorated very cute with subtle beach accents that don’t overwhelm. The outdoor shower is very handy as well. We brought our two pups and they felts right at home. We got to meet the neighbor pups as well and we loved Noodles visits 😊 Owners were very accommodating, equipped with rental golf carts and outdoor loungers for some R&R. Hope to be back again!

Just right for a couple
The Lucky Buc is small, but plenty adequate for two, with a kitchen, living area w/TV, bedroom w/TV, and large bathroom. The kitchen has full size appliances including a coffee maker. The AC worked well during the hot days, though the bedroom unit is a little loud cycling on/off during the night. It was very clean upon arrival and the outdoor shower helped us keep it clean. The neighboring units are close with tight, but adequate parking. Its within walking distance of the shops and restaurants.

Good for a short stay
If you need a place to sleep, and that’s about it, this is a good option. This was my 2nd stay at this property. The surrounding property seems to have a bit more “junkyard” vibes than last year, or maybe I just didn’t notice it as much last year? If it weren’t for always having my dog with me, I would probably prefer to stay at one or the local hotels instead, which would likely be cheaper considering all of the VRBO fees. I’ll probably stay here again because it’s one of the few semi affordable options that also allows dogs on the island.

Perfect Hideway
My wife and I had a great long weekend with dogs. This place is perfect for 2 people and dogs! Very cold A/C. Can’t wait to book it again and come back! The owners are very nice people. They also rent golf carts.
