Sunset Cottage on Calico Creek

Sunset Cottage on Calico Creek is an updated, vintage fishing cottage, built in 1942 but with all the modern conveniences. It lies right on the bank of Calico Creek and in the heart of Morehead City at 20th street.
Kayak from the side yard or the 20th street bridge, walk or ride your bike 1/2 mile to the beach on the Sound and the downtown waterfront filled with shops and restaurants, put your boat in at the Morehead City public ramp at the Visitor's Center less than 2 miles from the cottage, or drive the 7 minutes to Atlantic Beach. You can do it all from Sunset Cottage, at an affordable rate, and then enjoy spectacular sunsets on the water from the screened porch or the second floor deck overlooking Calico Creek.
Decorated like the fishing cottage it was intended to be, Sunset Cottage has two bedrooms - a primary with a queen bed and a second with a queen and two twins. There is a full hall bathroom upstairs that the bedrooms share, and a powder room downstairs with a private outdoor shower.
The modern kitchen has a ceramic cooktop and oven, fridge, and a counter-top ice maker. The coffee bar offers a drip coffeemaker, grinder, a cartridge machine (Keurig-style), and an electric kettle for tea drinkers. A kayak and corn hole game is provided for your enjoyment but once the peaceful setting soaks in, you may not want to do anything but watch the water, sky and wildlife that surrounds you. Be one of the first to book this "just listed" vacation rental using the coupon code fallcall for 10% off your wonderful fall getaway.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a dryer, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

House has potential

Location was great! Management company was great! House itself was just ok, but could be cute as a button! Den and porch furniture need to be donated to Good Will or thrown in dump. They were old, stained , uncomfortable ,etc. We covered them up prior to sitting on them. Also need more sitting options in den. House had one couch and one chair. Decor is awful as well but the furniture was definitely our biggest complaint. Rest of house was fine though! The last suggestion would be to have cleaning supplies avaliable to help keep house tidy. House didnt have a broom, toilet bowl brush etc. I'm just one who likes to keep things clean etc. We would stay here again IF owners updated the furniture and decor. Again, the house has so much potential! Wouldn't take much to make it a more comfortable, appealing vacation home. Overall our time in Morehead City was great!

Beautiful cottage in a gorgeous location while still being conveniently close to Beaufort, Atlantic beach, and anything else. Cottage was clean, cozy, with stunning views inside or out. All together made for a great trip!
