⛵️Coastal Cottage in Waterfront Neighborhood
This coastal cottage located in beautiful Cape Carteret sits in a quaint waterfront neighborhood just a short distance to Emerald Isle beaches, local dining and entertainment. Bring your boat, jet skis, bikes or golf cart—there’s plenty of room in the driveway!
Many modern amenities are offered, including:
-Paved parking -Large porch with built-in furniture and grill -Washer and Dryer -Newly renovated kitchen, fully stocked with cookware -Dishwasher -High speed Wi-Fi -AppleTVs with YouTubeTV
This two bedroom, one and a half* bathroom house has been renovated over the past few years with major upgrades to the kitchen in 2020. There is a large porch and yard for entertaining, and a large driveway to accommodate multiple vehicles as well as trailers, boats and jet skis!
The kitchen is fully stocked with quality stainless and nonstick cookware, spices and all the basics. When you’re done cooking, enjoy the ease of using the dishwasher! A front load washer and dryer are available for use as well. Detergent and dryer sheets are included!
The master bedroom offers a queen bed, new in 2021, and plenty of closet space. The loft-style bedroom upstairs has two memory foam full beds, new in 2021. There are both gel and gusseted pillows available, so pick whichever you prefer!
The full bath downstairs has a tile shower with a divine rain shower head. A quality soap and shampoo will be provided.
*The ceiling in the half bath upstairs follows the pitch of the roof and therefore the headroom is limited. It’s perfect for kids, but an adult male may find it a little bothersome.
I have a virtual guidebook that can be viewed on your smartphone, tablet or laptop that contains my personal recommendations for the area, house rules, check-in procedures and anything else you could ever dream to know about the house, neighborhood and surrounding area! I will send this to you once a booking is confirmed so you can begin planning your stay!
This coastal cottage is in Bayshore Park, Cape Carteret, which is a waterfront neighborhood with beautiful views of Bogue Sound, the ICW and Emerald Isle! The neighborhood has four waterfront parks for water access (kayak launch, fishing etc.) including a small pier that can be used for crabbing or fishing! All four parks are a very short walk from the house.
Swansboro and Emerald Isle are both less than 10 minutes away, and Morehead City is only 20 minutes up highway 24. There are several boat ramps, water accesses and nature tails close by.
Cape Carteret, Swansboro and Emerald Isle each have a large selection of renowned restaurants of all price points, and I would be glad to offer recommendations based on your specific taste.
Golfin’ Dolphin and Mac Daddy’s offer mini golf, bowling, go-carts, a driving range, arcade games and even a high ropes course right here in town!
Bring your boat! The house is located just a short distance from several boat ramps including Broad Creek, Cedar Point, Emerald Isle and Shell rock Landing...it just depends on where you’re wanting to fish! (I am a professional mariner by trade, so I’d be glad to give you any pointers about getting around on the water and maybe even a few fishing tips!)
***Hurricane Season disclaimer: In the event a named storm is forecasted to impact the area, and a mandatory evacuation is issued by the local or state government, you will be required to leave the house. Hurricane shutters will be put up, and the house will not be accessible until after the storm passes. Of course, a refund of the days you left early will be gladly issued.***

This is the second time we rent this cottage from Andrew. This is a great property, very clean, and with many amenities (coffee!) The owner is very responsive as well as attentive to making us feel welcome and taken care of. Having a personalized downladable app to keep all directions on my phone was also great! Thank you. We will be back!
We had a short weekend stay to come see the Cherry Point Airshow. The house was very clean and in a very quiet residential area. The interior was also very nice. We enjoyed our short stay here and would definitely recommend this to others.
Enjoyed our stay with family. Nice neighborhood and location. Plenty of room to park and nice paved driveway. Andrew is a great host with all details that are needed for a pleasant stay in his home.
Home was clean!, owner was very easy to contact and check in process was effortless, and I had a great time! Home was very neat and clean and I would definitely stay again, and I am very thankful for the hospitality
This cottage is the perfect spot for a Crystal Coast beach getaway. Located in a quiet neighborhood within minutes of the beach. Easy drive to all the attractions in the area.
The cottage is clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended.
We stayed at this property January 2024 and loved it, so we decided to stay again! Its close to family and close to everything we like to do. The property is clean and comfortable and very well kept. And this stay we found the distillery right around the corner, loved it! Andrew is very easy to work with and very pleasant. We will stay again in the future!
Andrew’s communication was exceptional. The place was very clean and the set up for renters was perfect. The location was a short drive from Emerald Beach. I was even able to kayak close by in the neighborhood.
Cute and modern home with plenty of room for my husband and I, along with our two teenage boys to stay the week. Quiet neighborhood with an excellent location to nearby beaches, and highly needed amenities. We enjoyed our stay here, and would love to visit here again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay while visiting family in Emerald Isle. The accommodations could not have been cleaner or better provisioned. And we’ve have stayed at many rental homes but never one as charmingly decorated as this one!
The house was the perfect size for our family of 4. I felt very safe in the quiet little neighborhood. Easy access to the beach. House was stocked with everything you would need. We loved our vacation.
Second time staying in this beautiful home!! We had everything we needed and SO MUCH more. Nice and quiet, peaceful neighborhood. There was excellent communication with the property owner. The beds are so comfy!! Can't wait to stay there again! Highly recommend this vacation home.
The owner made every part of our stay so simple and easy. The cottage is upscale and coastal furnishings- fabulous small kitchen and appliances. All linens and bedding first class- plus spotless. The neighborhood is charming - loved sitting in the deck in the late afternoon and evening enjoying the bird songs and quiet. Not far from the beaches at all. Easy drive and friendly people everywhere. The owner recommendations were spot on. Strongly recommend staying here if you are in the area! I hope we will be able to come again!
The house was beautiful just right for one person or for a family. Andrew went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. The house was well equipped all you need to bring is your toothbrush. I can’t wait to rent from him again.
This was our second time staying at this property. The home is quiet, the neighborhood and neighbors are friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed fishing down at the dock every day, and daily beach time by 10 min car ride. The home itself is beyond cozy, well thought out and clean. Andrew was a great host, making you feel at home. Highly recommend!!
We are Marriott vacation club owners, this is our 1st VRBO experience and not our last. The cottage is just like the pictures and Andrew is a very attentive host. We appreciated the updated cottage with the coastal feel. He has great amenities and was surprised to see all the conveniences of home. This location is close to fishing and a few great towns we enjoyed visiting.
The property was as described, but better! The house was cute and cozy and very clean and had everything you could possibly need or want. A storm came through while we were there and Andrew's communication during this was great. We would definitely rent this property again! Thanks Andrew!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cape Carteret!
Andrew was such a gracious host and his online guidebook was very detailed, which came in handy.
The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and was very clean and so tastefully decorated. We loved the nautical theme!
In addition to the beach, which is a short drive from Cape Carteret, there were so many things to do in the area. Will definitely visit again!
It was a wonderful getaway and I would highly recommend. The pictures online don’t do the house justice. The loft is roomier than expected. We highly enjoyed our stay. If you are a very clean people and enjoy lots of information before your arrival Andrew is your best bet. Such a relaxing time.
This was our first experience with Vrbo. This was a wonderful experience. The owner of the home made this experience what it was. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The information guide he supplied was wonderful and very useful. I would highly recommend.
