It was lacking hot water and water pressure. Some in our group really enjoy the outdoor shower while on a beach vacation. ##### Patti S. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### lori b. 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sweet old-fashioned cottage Nice simple cottage, old Ocracoke style. We stayed here during the cloudy, rainy week of Tropical Storm Debby but North Pond was protected from the wind, so we could enjoy it during the rain breaks- swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The place was clean and had most of the things we needed to cook. The property manager was very responsive and kind when we had a small issue. The main thing we missed was having a screened porch, which seems essential for Ocracoke, or at least a covered porch would have been nice with all of the rain. Overall, a great cottage and location. ##### lori b.

Such a gem. Love the beachfront, love the cottage. Rented kayaks from Ride the Wind and watched the fireworks over the water for the Fourth- amazing! Will definitely rent them next year, it was so fun to explore around the coves. Would love more clothespins for the clothesline!

Excellent for 2 or 3 people, very good for 4\. Quiet, close to everything and yet secluded. 2 trucks parked just fine, wouldn’t try 3\. Sound is in backyard although we didn’t walk down this time, spent all our time beach fishing, not catching. We only visit in the off season so the entire village is peaceful and quiet. DK how it is in the summer. This was our 3rd stay at Sound House, works well for us older folks who now have to forgo lots of stairs. Debbie is a great host, always fast responses and personable. ##### Jeanne J.

It is located in an area that is close to the main street but far enough away that it is quiet. The sound location is beautiful, we watched the birds every morning while we drank coffee while sitting on the deck. The interior is very nicely decorated in a slightly retro and sophisticated beach vibe. The furniture and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen had the perfect amount of space, dishes, cooking and serving utensils. The outdoor shower (with warm water!!) was also convenient to rinse off beach sand. There was even some starter soap, paper towels and bathroom tissue. The house was very clean. I had the opportunity to communicate with the owner in the weeks prior to our stay and she was very quick in responding to my communications. I would definitely consider renting this house again. ##### Alison R.

The minute you walk-in the front door you are greeted with windows that look out into the Sound. Such a serene feeling! The house was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. TV & Wi-Fi worked well and the water pressure in the shower was fantastic! My son & I absolutely loved being able to walk out into the water and playing on the little sound side beach. There are lots of hermit crabs to watch play out there! Watching the boats come & go was also a fun way to pass some time. The house is close enough to walk or bike to anywhere in town. We spent many nights walking to the ice cream shops & T-shirt stores. We had a great time at the Soundhouse and would suggest it to anyone looking for a great spot on the water! ##### Chase K.
