Welcome to The Shackleford, where the beauty of Harkers Island meets the tranquility of waterfront living. Perched on the second floor for unbeatable water views, this inviting retreat offers a front-row seat to the harbor and beyond. From sunrise to sunset, the ever-changing coastal landscape sets the perfect backdrop for your stay.

Outside, the magic of The Shackleford continues. Sip your morning coffee on the balcony as you take in panoramic water views, watch boats drift by, or catch a glimpse of Shackleford Banks in the distance. With a harbor-front location, you can tie up your boat just steps away and set off for a day of adventure on the water.
Whether you’re exploring by kayak, searching for wild horses on the islands, or savoring fresh seafood at a local eatery, The Shackleford puts you at the heart of it all. Here, the coastal lifestyle isn’t just a dream—it’s your reality.

The best place to stay on Harkers Island!
From the moment we booked until the moment we locked up to leave, Landie was an absolute pleasure to deal with! She went above and beyond. The location, cleanliness and accommodations were all superb. We brought our 25’ boat and having it docked in front of the apartment was the biggest benefit for us. It was easy to get in and out to enjoy each day on the water. The decor was all lovely and comfortable and it was supplied very well! We will absolutely be back for many more stays in the future!!!
