Clean and comfortable.Few windows, so a little cave like, but the outdoor swing let me enjoybthe nice days. Kitchen is small, as pictured. I found a one burner hotplate in the cabinet, so i was able to do a little cooking. Still ate at the Fish Hook next door a few nughtsBed is very comfortable, and there are lots of drawers to unpack and stay organized. Didnt try the TV, but reading in the TV room was comfortable. Easy in and out.
Really liked the size and level of upkeep. Great location. Did not like the adjacent boat building warehouse which was damaged by tornado in 2024 but left unrepaired. Loose metal roof sheets threatening to blow loose dampened time outside. The adjacent restaurant is a major reason to stay here with great food and atmosphere. Love Harkers for a non-beach coastal environment with Cape Lookout and local museums of decoys and down east communities.

cozy
I stayed here for a week and found this small rental to be just perfect for one or two guests. Very laid-back area and easy to navigate.
COCKROACHES!!!
My entire family thought this would be a quaint and quiet place to stay. We were dead wrong. After being there 3 nights, we realized we were sleeping with the roaches. We even called the property manager Spectrum Property who then went on to ask us about the number of legs and size of the species of the cockroach. I was then informed that it was certain subspecies of cockroach known as a waterbug and it was harmless.
Harmless?? My ass! It was huge and there were several that were crawling on the back of my 2 year old's neck near bedtime.
Nope, not staying here or can ever recommend this property or Spectrum Properties to anyone ever.
Avoid this place!

Very satisfied!
This is a great place for someone who wants to enjoy the outdoors . Close to the water and the visitors center. Check in text message concerning codes and entry door was confusing and should be reworked . Besides that I enjoyed everything! Thank you.

Harkers island 2 person stay.
Property was nice and organized. It is not very large but we adapted. All items you need are there. Parking was great and it is close to everything you would want
The TV with only Roku was not very friendly. Eliminate Roku and get plain cable. That would be much much better

Fishing trip
Accommodations great.
Access to HI Fishing Center and was able to rent boat slip so I did not have to put boat back on trailer until I was checking out.
