Perfect getaway

Nancy was a wonderful host and super helpful! The property grounds are gorgeous and we spent much of our time outside or on the water. The ferry over to Cape Lookout is just down the road and easy to get to. They have kayaks on site available to use. We brought both of our pups and they had a blast playing in the water during load tide. Will definitely be back next year!

Nice place

We enjoyed our stay here.I wanted to check out harkers island and this was a good place for doing that. We enjoyed the yard and the beautiful sunsets.The people we met on the island and at cape lookout were the best part of the trip.#1 tip make sure you take bug spray,according to the locals their bugs love out of town visitors.

Very spacious. Pet friendly. Great view across the water from the backyard. Quiet neighborhood. We definitely recommend a ferry ride from the island to the Cape Lookout Lighthouse.

Family Memory Maker

This house felt like home!!! Easy check in and the BEST communication with our host leading up to our stay and even during our stay to make sure we made it safely. This home has great views and is so convenient to local spots on the island. My family enjoyed the fishing and shady yard!!! We will be back!!!

Quiet Getaway

It was nice getting away from the busy and loud traffic of a typical beach vacation. The day we spent at the beach on Cape Lookout amazing. We had the whole beach to ourselves. We paddled across the sound to get to Shackleford another day. Our last day we headed to Atlantic beach for the Aquarium and putt-putt. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the Fish Hood Grill was. It's ~0.8 mile walk from the house. Would recommend! Will be back!
