READY TO EXPLORE
BEAUFORT
Make sure you plan a trip to Beaufort just a 20 minute drive off the island. Enjoy dinner at one of the many restaurants. Do a little shopping, buy some freshly made fudge and stroll along the dock of the inter-coastal water way. Look at the spectacular yachts anchored for the night. Make sure you visit the General Store for hand dipped ice cream. Better yet, book a boat tour and watch the horses run free on Shackleford Banks.

Atlantic Beach
The AB Town Park features a splash pad, large skatepark, 18-hole mini-golf course, half-court basketball court, picnic shelter, concession stand, & public restrooms. The park is free for use (mini-golf & concession stand items for a fee). The mini-golf course and concession stand are open on weekends only from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. with mini-golf costing only $6 per person (age 6 and under free!) – the best family-friendly rates on the island!

Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium
The Aquarium has four main galleries that take visitors through the Mountains to the Ocean of NC. Inside the aquarium, at the start of your tour is a 32-foot smoky mountain waterfall. There are over 430,000 total gallons of saltwater and freshwater combined in displays.The Aquarium is 93,000 square feet.The largest habitat holds 306,000 gallons of saltwater.There are two hiking trails at the aquarium, The Theodore Roosevelt Nature Area trail and the Alice Hoffman Nature Trail.

Cape Lookout
History comes alive at the Cape Lookout Lighthouse and Keeper’s Quarters built in the mid-1800’s to warn passing ships of the dangerous coastal waters. Standing at 163 feet tall, the 207- step “Diamond Lady” lighthouse was painted with a distinctive black and white diamond pattern in order to distinguish direction -- North and South from East and West -- and differentiate it from other North Carolina lighthouses. This Crystal Coast must-see is open to visitors to climb during the summer, May through September.

Shackleford Banks
For more than 400 years the wild horses of Shackleford Banks have taken care of their young, frolicked on pristine deserted beaches and foraged for food with not a saddle or fence in sight. Visitors make their way to the island by private boat or ferry running from Harkers Island, Beaufort and Morehead City – and the captains of Island Express Ferry Service are more than happy to dish most of their secrets to shelling during the ride.

We know you will enjoy your stay. Our guests come back year after year and leave us many wonderful stories of their vacation.

'At the beach, life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides and follow the sun.'

Perfect for families, comes with all the extras. This beautiful property is right on the beach with beautiful views and all the extras. A pack n play, high chair, beach supplies (shibumi, toys, chairs, towels), extra toiletries, sunscreen, and more. The hosts make traveling with small kids so much easier when you don't have to bring all the baby stuff! The photos don't do it justice either, this property is great! I normally like to try new places, but when we return to this island we will 100% stay here again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better place! The condo was absolutely perfect—spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and with the most breathtaking view. The patio was by far our favorite spot; we spent hours out there relaxing, laughing, dancing, and just enjoying the ocean breeze.The pool was wonderful, the condo itself had everything we needed, and every detail made it feel like a true getaway. Owners were responsive and so nice!!! We had so much fun and made memories we’ll cherish forever. Truly the best experience we could imagine, and we can’t wait to come back!
