The cottage was beautifully furnished. The reading side room was a plus. Luxurious beds and bedding. Porch overlooking marina was so relaxing with great seating. So many amenities included. Great restaurants including M &M's Cafe. Seafood was delicious. Beth Frazier Realty was great to work with. Would love to return. My 4'9" 90 year old mom said the beds were too high and needed a stool and the half bathroom was incredible small. Hard to shut door. Her comments.

wonderful location

We enjoyed the cottage location. We could walk to the park and farmers market on Saturday. We could ride bikes to the local shops. Eat next door at M&M's . Take the ferry over to Havelock and visit Beaufort, NC Debra Parks is an awesome Manager! She saved the day and brought lights back to the cottage so my husband could finish reading his book. She was warm and welcoming! Thanks so much, Debra.
