"Lawton's" is a one bedroom, one bathroom cottage with an 8' X 16" screened porch, and is located on the corner of Lawton Lane and historic Howard Street in the heart of Ocracoke village. |
Howard
Street, established in 1835, looks much as it has for many years.
Older island homes, family cemeteries, and moss-covered wooden fences
add to the charm of this area of the village. |
|
Lawton's is off the beaten path, but centrally located near shops, restaurants, Silver Lake Harbor and the Ocracoke Lighthouse. |
|
From the traditional swing or rocker on Lawton's screened front porch you can enjoy an early morning cup of coffee, or relax with your favorite book after a day at the beach. |
|
This
cottage has central heat and air conditioning, making it a comfortable
rental home year 'round. Telephone, cable TV, VCR, & DVD player will
add to your vacation enjoyment. |

Although Lawton's is available only for one or two people, the dining room & living room are large enough to accommodate guests for dinner and an evening's entertainment. |
The
kitchen in this cottage includes everything you will need for a
comfortable stay. |

This one-bedroom cottage with queen bed is perfect for couples. The bathroom was completely remodeled in 2004. |
From our Guestbook:
"We had a lovely time & enjoyed this superb home. This was our sixth trip to Ocracoke but our first time staying at the Lawton Howard home -- it's the best house of the four we've stayed in -- very spacious, comfortable, [& with] easy access to all things on historic Howard Street."
"We love it here. The house was very nice & comfortable, & quiet at night."
"My first trip to Ocracoke! It is like no place I have ever been before. Especially appreciated the history of Howard Street, Lawton's stories, and your cozy home. You thought of everything -- nothing missing! A real treat -- we hated to leave."
Lawton Howard (1911-2002) was a delightful native islander. To read more about him click here.
