About this property
Beautiful, Historic and Private Retreat for Couples-limit 2 people
The Studio is a truly unique and beautiful property, both inside and out. Located in the heart of the village within walking distance to all the harbor front attractions, The Studio is tucked away, shady and private. The multi level patio is nestled among live oaks and cedar trees. After a total renovation in 2022, the interior space features an updated look that is more spacious, more functional and more inviting than ever! The Studio is an adult only, pet free, smoke free space. Smoking is allowed outside.
This building was constructed in 1993 and used for 15 years as a working art studio. It is set back off the road, amidst giant live oak and cedar trees, and sits alongside my home, one of the islands designated historic houses. The two buildings are joined by an open breezeway behind the main gate, but when guests are in residence in the studio, we both have separate entrances on opposite sides of the property. The Studio provides all the comforts of home in a private, quiet and tree shaded setting, with lots of attention to detail. I have tried to make the Studio somewhere I would want to stay, well cared for with lots of personality.
You enter through a totally enclosed multi leveled courtyard space complete with artwork, jasmine, hot/cold out door shower and grill. There are chairs for lounging and a dining table for mealtime. Your parking is right outside the gate. Inside, the studio is colorful, unique and furnished for your complete comfort with one queen bed downstairs, a double bed in the upstairs loft space, sofa, flat screen TV, fully equipped kitchen and bath with tub and shower. There is a desk and office chair perfect for working while away! The Studio provides full linen service.
This is the perfect romantic and private getaway for two. The Studio is located within walking distance of the Coffee Company, Zillie's, the harbor front and all downtown shops and restaurants.
All Studio guests are strongly urged to buy cancellation insurance through VRBO. We are an island 30 miles off the coast. Things happen, to people and to the island. The ferry service to the island can be affected at any time in unpredictable ways restricting access to the island. And, we have hurricanes from June through October. Please protect yourselves.
This property is offered by Premier Partner, Debbie Wells, who also manages three other VRBO properties: Dicie's House on Howard Street #1899844, SoundHouse #2203510 and CanalHouse #2760936. All cottages are personally managed and locally owned and operated and feature great locations, clean and functional interiors and competitive pricing. We hope to see you!

Check in was super easy and the place was ready to go for our visit. It was clean and well appointed, with everything we needed to make food and have an awesome trip. Really convenient to restaurants, shops and things to do. The beds are comfortable and though we didn't use it, they even have a grill and a nice private courtyard to spend time in.
The Studio is fully equipped for cooking. Furnishings are beautiful and comfortable. Bed is super comfortable. There is a desk if you need to work. We've only stayed in Winter so haven't made use of the outside deck and furnishings but they seem perfect for grilling and relaxing outside. Debbie is a terrific host..
Everything was absolutely wonderful!! Debbie is an attentive host that will address any concerns or questions; she is also extremely knowledgeable about the island. The Studio is welcoming, artistic and peaceful. We appreciate the thoughtful layout, the comfortable bed, the full kitchen, and the beautiful patio.
The VRBO rating app was glitchy during this review. Everything sb 5 stars! Great location, We did a fair bit of cooking, the kitchen was super- loved that it had a gas range! It’s a special place!
Absolutely perfect spot for my partner and I to spend 5 days reconnecting and soaking in Ocracoke. We loved the studio and it had everything we needed. The outdoor shower and private deck area were so peaceful and added to the island experience.
This was the perfect space for our first adventure as “empty nesters” on Ocracoke.
It was a great location for home base for walks, restaurants, biking and the beach!
The Studio was perfect for our 43rd anniversary. Such a beautifully decorated place you just feel embraced and comfortable. We recommend the Studio to anyone who loves to relax and enjoy Ocracoke's ambiance.
1 week stay at this well appointed studio. Private courtyard, outdoor shower and colorful art make this a “home”. You retreat to the courtyard to hear birdsong as Jasmine fragrances the gentle breezes. We can’t wait to stay here again.
I think this is our 8th visit to The Studio. As always, we really enjoyed our vist. The accomdations are great; Deb is a very generous and friendly person. Ocracoke is a wonderul place to visit. Most highly recommended.
The studio is a wonderful venue for a couple to enjoy Ocracoke and then relax in the quiet and peaceful surroundings amidst the artfully decorated apartment.
Debbie’s studio is even bigger than the photos display. Bed was beyond comfortable and the design/decor is beautiful! The patio is an oasis especially with the outdoor shower….which was heavenly! We can’t wait to return!
Beautiful, relaxing and stylish studio. The deck is shaded and a perfect spot for reading or cocktails. Centrally located. We had a wonderful time disconnecting and spending quality time together. We'd stay again!
A lovely hideaway... fabulous, beautiful decor, nice attention to detail, the courtyard and the outdoor shower are great!
Plus cleanliness and privacy too.
We felt so relaxed and comfortable here, like in a tree house, a home away from home!
We loved the entire atmosphere of "The Studio".
We had an amazing time at the Studio, it was perfect for my wife and I. Debbie keeps the place extremely clean and well organized. Also, she responded very quickly to any questions we had, and provided us with great information about Ocracoke.
A great place to start our Ocracoke adventure. Even a cold, rainy day at the beach couldn't cramp our style staying at this enchanting tiny home. Cozy, open, a delight for the eyes. The perfect place to relax and recharge for another day of bicycling, kiting, swimming, and exploring this lovely little town. Just us two.
This is a great place to get away and enjoy nature (and history)! Everything you need will be provided, so you can enjoy your time away with as much or as little interaction with others as you would like. We never needed anything, but contact information for assistance is clearly provided in multiple locations and formats; I have no doubt additional needs would be satisfied promptly.
If you want a laid back beach vacation, go to Ocracoke. If you are going as a couple, it’s hard to imagine staying anywhere better than the Studio.
Our stay at the Art Studio was delightful. It was very clean, very organized, tastefully decorated, quiet and walkable to most locations that we were interested in visiting. When we had a question, the host responded within minutes. Everything that one might have needed or wanted was provided. We hope to return next year! Thank you.
Very relaxing stay at the studio, even after arriving on the heels of a hurricane. The studio is tastefully decorated, has beautiful artwork and higher end kitchenware. The outdoor space is private with a relaxing atmosphere. Debbie, our host, is sweet, thoughtful and generous. She helped us out a great deal with the ferries and was willing to adjust our dates if we couldn’t make it there as scheduled because the island was still under evacuation from the hurricane the day before we were set to arrive. There is a lot to do within walking distance and the island has a free tram service. We enjoyed the studio so much and we are already planning a return trip. You won’t be disappointed!! Thanks again Debbie.
