Great boating and fishing. And the nearest beach music or miniature golf course is a three-hour ferry ride away. For some people, rolling off one of those ferries into Ocracoke Village for the first time feels like coming home, and home is exactly what Amy Howard offers at her place on Lighthouse Road. Here it's more friendly and more intimate. My home has a real living room.
People work around each other in the kitchen.

Stays in Colorado, California, the N.C. mountains and other traveling adventures followed before she came home to Ocracoke two years ago.
