Step back in time and immerse yourself in the charm of this simple, island-style abode, nestled within the historic district of Ocracoke and steeped in history dating back to approximately 1880.

This quaint home, adorned with weathered shingles, stands as a testament to the island's rich heritage, with its 1 ½ stories featuring a first-floor kitchen and dining area at the back.

The name Hurricane House pays homage to its storied past, with an earlier owner documenting the harrowing experiences of both the 1933 and 1944 hurricanes on a wall of the house. Purchased by the current owner in 1984 and meticulously rebuilt using salvaged materials after severe storm damage in 1985, Hurricane House stands as a resilient testament to the island's enduring spirit.
