Whispering Oaks

This is our third year in a row staying at Whispering Oaks. Location is perfect for us, the beach on the sound is perfect for the kids and the house is well equipped for our family size. We will be likely be back again next year, if we do not outgrow the size!

Private Paradise

We were pleasantly surprised to find a beautiful space with a private beach that was actually private and what became our special "place" before and after each day trip. We did bring our own beach chairs and table which were perfect out there. The house was clean and spacious and had everything that we had expected. We will be back!

Feedback on our stay

Loved the house and the amenities. A couple of feedback points, 1. the wireless didn't work. 2. My husband had to connect the living room TV to the cable. 3. In the check out instructions, please indicate where the linen bag can be found. We could not find it.

Thanks for reviewing Whispering Oaks! We so happy you enjoyed the house and amenities! We wish you had reached out about the wifi and tv issues- we would have been happy to send someone out to rectify both of those issues. We cannot help unless you tell us and giving a less than favorable review due to not telling us isn't fair to the property.

Whispering Oaks

This was the perfect property for our family vacation. The house was well equipped and well maintained. The deck was perfect for afternoon and evening relaxation, shady and breezy! The large back yard was perfect for the kids, as was the beach area at the water. Kids were able to experience sand, salt water, bird and boat watching without the worry of big waves and undertow. This was truly an ideal set up for adults and kids.

Great stay

Hi, We really enjoyed our time at Whispering Pines. House was very nice, clean and a good size for our family of four. Big deck & backyard and our own small but private beach. Harkers Island is very much a quiet small town. 30 min away is Beaufort or Morehead City or Atlantic Beach which are much busier & have lots of restaurants and shops. We would definitely return to Whispering Pines in the future.

Harker's Island Stay

We enjoyed our recent stay at Whispering Oaks on Harker's Island NC. Our family wanted a quiet place on the beach for a mother/ daughter birthday celebration and Whispering Oaks was the perfect get-a-way. The house is beautifully appointed, clean and very comfortable. The sound of the waves at night were calming and peaceful and we loved waking up to the water view from the master bedroom overlooking the outer banks each morning. We especially enjoyed our coffee on the deck overlooking the bay before starting our day. We would most certainly come back to this lovey oasis on Harker's Island.
