About this cottage rental
Where nostalgia meets modern comfort, with outstanding water views, in a peaceful location.
Comfortable, cozy cottage curated with local art, with tidbits of vintage and new, using colors reflecting the sun, sand and sea. With three bedrooms, two baths, living room and dining area in the kitchen, this home is perfect for a small family, or two couples. Nestled in the live oaks, in a quiet part of the island, our cottage provides privacy, relaxation and serenity.
But the real attraction is the spacious 480’ square foot screened porch, and upper viewing deck, with the most spectacular, unparalleled view of Pamlico Sound.
For eons, doctors have prescribed going to the sea for its healing, curative properties. In the late 60’s/early 70’s, my Grandfather – a physician- felt the call of the ocean, and decided that Ocracoke was the place for him, and our family. He and my Grandmother wanted a small place near the water, where they could immediately drop their things and get outside: on the porch, to the beach, or in the boat. They didn’t want to waste time with anything fussy. For our family, this island retreat was the best medicine from the busy, hectic-ness of the city. Our family legacy is woven into every corner of the cottage, each meal in the kitchen, game night at the coffee table, coffee or wine on this porch – each memory echoes through time. It is now my turn to share it with you. Lovingly and meticulously renovated and refreshed, it is ready for you and your family to enjoy and begin a new chapter for the cottage. When you stay at “Doctors Orders”, you are not just booking a cottage- you are becoming part of a story that started long ago.
Here’s to your family creating new memories in the home that our family has cherished for generations.

Recently updated older home that is immaculate and well stocked. NIcely decorated too. The real star of this home are the porches, particularly the long one down the entire length of the cottage. It is huge — deep enough that even when it rained we were able to get out of it and stay outside. The view of the sound from the porch (and the sunset from the roof porch is excellent! We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage.
There is an open lot in between the house and the sound that belongs with the property. We walked out and saton the sea wall to watch the sunset from there (and fish a little) as well. Very peaceful.
If I had to suggest anything to add, It would be curtains to go over the blinds in the smaller bedrooms - the blinds are partially see through which is great for light the day but not at night.

This house was amazing! Super clean and beautifully decorated. We felt right at home. The view to Silver lake was breathtaking! The screened in porch is amazing and very relaxing in the evenings after a long hot day. Great place to drink your morning coffee as well! Communication with the host was very prompt and they were quick to answer any questions I had. We thought the outside plug for our golf cart was not working. Called the host and they were out there within 15 minutes to fix it. It ended up not being the outdoor plug at all. It was our golf cart plug. Very impressed with this place and we will definitely come back here again! Do not hesitate to stay here!! You will NOT regret it!
