High Tider Matchmaker - Cozy 1 Bedroom Home in the Heart of the Harkers Island

Get ready to relax in this quaint one-bedroom private home on Harkers Island. Where once lived, Ms. Hilda Guthrie, the island matchmaker – funny enough, she never got married herself. The cozy home, originally built in the 60s with a couple updates since, is nestled in the heart of the Island. Whether you're unwinding after a day of exploring or enjoying a cool breeze on the porch.

This home has a lot of its original character, imperfect floors and doors. But it’s clean and ready for memories!

You'll be just around the corner from all the local hotspots. Billy's the local grocery store is just a walk or quick golf cart ride away (bring your golf cart with you). Be sure to get some of their fresh cut meats and hot breakfast sausage (our FAVORITE). Also, nearby is the Fish Hook Grill, Seaside Restaurant, and the Shark Island Eats food truck at the end of the island (Some places are only open seasonal). During your stay, be sure to schedule a day and take the ferry to Cape Lookout Lighthouse, see the Shackelford Banks Wild Horses, check out Sand Dollar Island, tour the Island and Small Waterfront of Beaufort, listen to the waves crash on Atlantic Beach, and take a tour of the famous Core Sound Waterfowl Museum. Lastly Don't forget to check out Chadwick Brothers Rentals to take a quick kayak around island and catch the magnificent sunsets. You can always relax at the Harkers Island Beach Access that is located right when get off the bridge onto the Island.

The quaint modern southern style decorating greets you at the driveway and is continued throughout the home. The Primary Bedroom suite offers a comfy Queen bed with attached bathroom and walk in shower. The cozy living room hosts a sleeper sofa and mini breakfast nook.

The front porch offers rocking chairs to catch a breeze.

The kitchen is stocked with all the cookware and dinnerware you'll need to enjoy your stay. The linens and towels are all sanitized with bleach to ensure top quality cleanliness.

Pets are an additional non-refundable fee of $149 per stay. Must be house trained. Let us know at booking if you have any pets.

Long weekend getaway

Great place for a quiet, relaxing time at the beach. We learned a lot about the history of the area at the museum and enjoyed the maritime museum in Beaufort. Delightful ferry out to the lighthouse.

Intimate and Cozy for my Wife and I. Our 6th anniversary. We wanted to get away somewhere that was peace and quiet. Harkers Island was it. It is located right in the middle of the island between two restaurants and seconds from the ferry terminal. Cape Lookout and Shackleford Banks We enjoyed sitting on the porch. Local story along with the house. Local islander Ms. Guthrie. Everything you need and Clean Thank You
