OC06: Southern Comfort

Overall, this property was very nice especially the location at the march at the end of the road. The home was clean although there was dust on the fan blades. Other reviews talked about bugs and smell which I have to agree that we experienced both. I reported these issues to the property manager so we'll see as we hope to go back again next year.

Hi Grant, We're glad you enjoyed your stay! Our maintenance team is working to remedy the issue you had with bugs and odors, and we apologize for those issues. We hope you'll be able to return next year to enjoy the beautiful marsh view and peacefulness of Southern Comfort. Thanks, Ocracoke Island Realty

We loved our stay in Southern Comfort. We stayed 3 weeks. The positives: 1. Wonderful home. Beautiful screened porch overlooking the marsh. Wonderful second screened porch surrounded by Wax Myrtle and Live Oaks. 2. Well stocked and arranged kitchen. 3. OIR was most helpful and responsive at every level. 4. Ancillary services of bikes and golf cart were excellent, responsive, easy to work with. 5. House layout was excellent, well thought out. 6. The Great Egret roost along the creek was without a doubt the highlight of our entire stay on OI. What an incredible sight. We pulled up the rocking chairs on the porch, along with our glasses of wine, and enjoyed the view from start to finish every evening, AND every morning beginning around 6:20am when they would leave. What an experience. Negatives: 1. For a 1 week stay, the bed mattresses would have been doable. For a 3 week stay, they were awful, in desperate need of replacement. Our backs suffered while there. 2. For a 1 week stay, the heavy smell of urine in both bathrooms would have been doable. For a 3 week stay, it really was bad. We just remembered days as kids in summer camps using latrines; we survived that, we would survive Southern Comfort. So, I'm giving it a 5/5 rating, because we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, with the above caveats.

Okay house, nothing too special. Good location on the canal. Pros: We were able to rent a boat and have it docked at the house, great views from the front porch. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen appliances worked great. We liked the kitchen/living room open floor plan. Great labeling of all the switches! Cons: Bugs, SO many bugs even after we had them come spray. No yard so not really dog friendly. Not really kid friendly either. Very small driveway. Wish the couches were arranged better so everyone could watch tv.

Some of us wish we could live in Ocracoke year-round! No place compares.

We really enjoyed OC06 Southern Comfort! Great set up and location. A few things to note: 1) The kitchen door to the back porch doesn’t easily lock. 2) Please check the hot water in right bathroom shower. 3) Right twin BR - one broken vertical blind. 4) The front long porch really could use an overhead fan. 5) Lamp on dresser in left queen BR didn’t seem to work. 6) Another outside light above the pathway to the farther parking spot would make the pathway along the house safer. Almost impossible to see the last wire and post in the dark. 7) The dryer lint vent tubing needs to be cleaned out. We tried to clean as much lint from it as we could. The lint catcher isn’t very efficient.

Southern Comfort is an excellent house, with many amenities such as a whirlpool tub and outdoor shower, in addition to the dock, plenty of beds, beautiful modern kitchen with every kitchen item and appliance you could ever need. We enjoyed our stay, aside from a few extremely rude business owners/employess. Overall, the house is what made the trip a great one, I would want to stay in that exact house again.

Perfect week, despite a bit of rain. Southern Comfort and Sundance are great houses. Both houses were clean. Communication with OIR was excellent.
