Framily Trip 2025

Marshmallow had everything we needed! It was beautifully decorated and had spaces to tuck away and relax. We had friends in town and gathered every morning and night to eat together. The gym was amazing, helped me stay on track during my vacation. The bikes and golf cart were so appreciated and used everyday. Loved this home and would stay again!

60th Birthday Trip

My best friend and I spent a week at Marshmellow, we enjoyed every aspect of our trip, especially the house which had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable week away. I even got to bring my dog! We enjoyed a quiet week away, spent every day on the beach, enjoyed great restaurants all based out of this great VRBO! A few of our favorite aspects of the home, the included golf cart, the screened in porches, the porch swing, the hammock, to name just a few. Maybe we can come back for another birthday soon!

Best of Ocracoke

Siblings reunited at our favorite vacation spot in US. Back in the 60’s and 70’s we camped. This week in 2025 when we met at we stayed in luxury compared to the camping days. There was plenty of room to spread out and all of our necessities were met! Kitchen appliances were all wonderful and we loved having a golf cart to get around town. No complaints except an elevator would have been great for us old folks, although that’s asking a bit much. We highly recommend Marshmellow and the very personable owner Derek!

Excellent Rental Choice

This place is excellent; it lives up to the online pictures. Great neighborhood. The decks and screened in porch are great too. The golf cart is a great extra that saves you money. On my next trip to Ocracoke, I will try to stay here again.

Ocracoke Perfection

We had a wonderful time at this property in Ocracoke! The location was wonderfully quiet and peacful, offering the perfect getaway. We especially loved having access to a golf cart and bikes, which made exploring fun and easy. The property was spotlessly clean and the screened in back porch was a great spot to relax in the evenings. The beds were super comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after our day of adventure! I highly recommend The Marshmellow for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-equipped retreat!

2nd stay and not the last!

Absolutely perfect Ocracoke getaway! Views are fantastic from the living area and all of the porches. Everything you need is right there. The owner is a wonderful person and you can tell he takes care of the property like he lives there himself. Thank you again for the opportunity to stay with you and can’t wait to come back!

Remarkable

The house was as, if not better, than the listing. The house was immaculate yet very homey. All of the appliances and amenities were up to date and worked well. Everything I needed was stocked. The view from the decks were very nice. The availability of a golf cart was also a huge plus. The host was very nice and easy to contact. I must admit I messed up my move in date and called him to admit my error. He was so helpful and allowed me to check in a little early after the house had been cleaned. I will definitely book book this Marshmallow again next year!

Great place to stay

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this house during our trip to Ocracoke. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and it was convenient to everything in the village. The screened in decks and porches allowed us to have dinner outside and enjoy the nice weather and the views of the island. I would highly recommend it and I look forward to staying there again when we return to Ocracoke.

Amazing VRBO, great town

Derek has a wonderful home on Ocracoke with many amenities. We were happy to be able to bring our dogs along with us, and the neighborhood was great for some peace and quiet as well as running. We loved sitting out in the screened in porch as well as soaking in the sun on the front deck. Having access to a golf cart was also a pleasant surprise that we enjoyed when we didn't want to necessarily take our car to a spot in town. All around we thoroughly enjoyed getting to stay here, Derek was responsive with messages, and we look forward to booking again!

Perfect for a weekend away

The house fit our needs perfectly! (My husband, two 11 year old girls and my parents) The house was clean and nicely decorated. Tons of decks to enjoy the outside! Having a golf cart is an added bonus and the girls loved taking rides throughout the weekend. Kitchen was stocked with everything you could need! We are looking forward to coming back here again, and would definitely recommend staying here to others.

We love marshmallow

Unless you have your own plane when you visit ocracoke you want to stay for a while! (It’s my nice way of saying it’s hard to get to) so we were able to spend 5 nights and spread out in this terrific house. The kitchen was spotless and so well equipped (I’d never in a million years use all the kitchen stuff) porches were picturesque. We went everywhere on the golf cart! So great. My husband was actually comfortable in the bed!! Phew!

The house was exactly as described, with wrap-around decks, lots of windows, and lovely little accents. The golf cart was a definite plus! Derek was an amazing host, was quick to respond when we had a question, and he made us feel absolutely welcome. We would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful stay

We loved this place - not smack in the center of town and most everything was a 3-5 minute drive away. The golf cart took us everywhere we wanted to go. The decks were great, and multiple screened in - we enjoyed the one off the kitchen especially for both morning coffee (with the local birds) and afternoon cocktails. Really nice kitchen appliances! Very clean and the beds were very comfortable. We will come back here soon I hope.

Anniversary Day

Beautiful home. We unfortunately were there when the tropical storm hit. The screened in porch was perfect for watching the rain. Loved being in the tree tops watching all types of birds. We had one afternoon to go to SmacNallys. Ran into our old friends Ferris and Chrissy. Great to see them and catch up on Island news. Hope to stay again. Andrea
