About this property

Waterfront cottage w/dock & kayaks

Wake to the call of osprey and sip your morning brew as the sun rises over the creek. The dock is a great place to try chicken-necking catch for crabs or watch pelicans plop before you explore the creek on one of two kayaks.

With 4 spacious bedrooms, you can bring the family or friends as we've been doing for generations. While here, you can enjoy meals and relax on the huge screened porch overlooking the spectacular water. Read books from our stocked shelves, play board games or cards, put together puzzles. Or write that story you've been putting off.

When you arrive the homeowners will make their way down the lane to greet you and ensure you have everything you need for your stay.

Please be careful climbing the steps to the second floor as they are steep.

Please supervise all children while in and around the home. The home provides a huge yard and water access. We recommend life jackets and water shoes for all guests as the creek abounds in oyster shells.

Upon checkout, please leave the house open and the key on the table. Leave beds unmade, but don't remove the linens. Please place all used towels on the bathroom floors or in the hamper, but not on the hardwood floors. And please start the dishwasher. Thank you for your cooperation with this.

We hope you have a grand time!

About the host

Hosted by Normandie and Michael

Host profile image
The owner's grandparents purchased the property on Sleepy Creek back in the 40s, and the family has enjoyed vacationing here ever since. The house was enlarged around 1996 as kids and grandkids came for summers of sailing the sound or boating to Cape Lookout.

They live in another house on the property and will be available if you need help or wish to use the kayaks.

Why they chose this property

Family and guests alike come to soak up the peace of being on the creek. With spectacular sunrises and sunsets, shore birds and the occasional dolphin or two, it's a perfect place to regroup and relax. More than one vacationer has said they never wanted to leave...

What makes this property unique

Beauty, the water, a fun place to stay? What more could you want? Quiet and secluded for those who just want to get away. Close enough to everything if you wish to explore or hit our beautiful beaches.
