Cozy spot for 2 on Ocracoke

River City, an unofficial Naval term, is a communication blackout or restriction, where ships and units are temporarily disconnected from communication with the outside world. This is how we feel when we are finally able to enjoy "River" - we are able to complete disconnect with the outside world. The compact nature of the space allows to relax while we are in the apartment without getting caught up rambling around a large space. Ocracoke is meant to be enjoyed outside, not stuck in a house

The large yard is surrounded by woods and provides direct access to the Springer's Point trail.
