Pelican Point is a traditional Hatteras bungalow that has been entirely refreshed, but without losing the simple island appeal reminiscent of the more remote Ocracoke Island, where live oaks stand watch over one-story cottages and modest family cemeteries that tell the story of the island. In fact the bungalow is constructed by the site of the traditional homestead and resting place of some of the original settlers in the area. Their homestead lasted hundreds of years on the high ground by the live oaks, with the land where Pelican Point now stands serving as the family farm and route to the wetlands and sound for hunting and fishing. Although the original homestead has made way for development, some of the descendants still live near Pelican Point and are great neighbors with outstanding stories to tell!

To help make your stay as fun and casual as possible, we have teamed with Dawn Waldrop a premier property manager and owner of Black Dog Harbor Services (BDHS), based next door to Pelican Point. BDHS will clean and prepare Pelican Point for your arrival; provide bed linens and make the beds; and stock the home with an initial supply of paper towels, toilet paper, dish detergent and trash bags to get you started. BDHS is just a phone call away to take care of any problems or concerns during your stay!

Well-behaved Adult dogs (max. of two) are welcome with payment of non-returnable pet fee ($250 per dog, per stay). No puppies - meaning no dogs under 1 year.

When to book a Hatteras rental & When to go:

Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.

If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
