Whitehurst Lookout on the Sound
Travel to Whitehurst Lookout along gently curved roadways and low-slung bridges, where you will find peace of mind and the joy of life on the coast. The road is a designated NC Scenic Byway, and for good reason— there is natural beauty around every bend.
Arrive at this incredible home that offers stunning views of sprawling Whitehurst Creek. The living space is as breathtaking as it is serene, featuring cathedral ceilings and abundant natural light. There is ample room here for your family to relax and unwind. With three king bedrooms with en suite baths, (one upstairs and one down), a queen guest bed and an additional guest bedroom with a full and a twin, this gorgeous, spacious home can accommodate family and friends and fishing, swimming, games of pool, or paddling out on the kayaks!
Ideally situated for boating enthusiasts, it`s a short cruise to Harkers Island, Cape Lookout, Beaufort, and Morehead City. Explore the world-class islands and fishing spots of the southern Outer Banks; you can bring your boat and tie it up on the concrete dock. Enjoy the stunning sunsets and peace of the privacy, and the incredible locale. This is why folks flock to the to our Crystal Coast— the water, the wonder and the way of life!

Beautiful property. Lots of bedrooms, including 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms on the ground level. 2 additional rooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs. Lots of space for our group to stretch out and well stocked kitchen. The main living areas and most bedrooms had beautiful views of the water.

The pictures don’t do it justice. The house was beautiful and there was a view of the sound from just about every room. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the kids had a blast. I have stayed in many vacation homes through the years and this was one of my favorites.

Just as described
Well-equipped home with spacious layout and beautiful views! Added bonus to have such a nice home be welcoming to our 4-legged kids. Distance was a little further out but not bad considering tournament wknd. Private drive to the house could use a little work. Overall, highly recommend if traveling with pups and wanting relaxing place to view the water.

This place was a dream! Such a gorgeous spot to stay on the water. Beautifully updated. Kitchen utensils and amenities is fairly stocked for what you’d need to cook meals. Landie was wonderful and very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Would come back to stay again!
