Great little cottage for me and my husband and our doodles.
It’s so hard to find pet friendly properties but this one was perfect. Beautiful little cottage and walking distance to the water. Great location. Right in the middle of everything on the island. Our host was very accommodating. The cottage was furnished with everything we needed. We had a great trip.

Good home base for exploring
Simple, comfortable accommodation that's a great base for exploring the area. Ferries to Shackleford Banks and Cape Lookout are a short drive... Little further to Atlantic Beach or Morehead City areas. Great spot!

Perfect Weekend
This is the second time we have stayed in the perfect island bungalow. It’s is so well appointed, extremely clean, beds are very comfortable, shower is great, and decorated so cute! The owners are super nice and communicate well. They even allowed us to check in early and check out late on our last day! This made the weekend perfect as we didn’t need to plan activities around check in time or check out time. We highly recommend this vacation rental the next time you plan to visit Harker’s Island.

Great getaway on Harkers Island
Bungalow was spotless and spacious and decorated so beautifully with nautical theme throughout. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need even a margarita machine! Bathroom is small but has a deep bathtub that was so nice to soak in, wonderful shower head, water pressure is good & plenty of hot water. Back yard is good sized for my dog and back deck is nice
