What a beautiful home and on such a great property, right on the ocean. We picked tons of sea glass every day. Took the excursion to the Cape, which was totally worth it but then never wanted to leave this beautiful place. Nancy, our host, returned my messages/questions within minutes. Highly recommend!!

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.

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!

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!
