We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Terry’s cottage on the Neuse River! The property was exactly as described. It was cozy, a little rustic, and conveniently located near the Minnesott Beach ferry. It was the perfect place to unwind, especially in the evenings, listening to the water gently lap against the shore.Terry owns the adjacent home, and the shared dock offered beautiful sunrise and sunset views. Terry was friendly, helpful, and accommodating while still giving us plenty of privacy.The kitchen had just about everything we needed, including plenty of dishes, a traditional coffee maker, and a Keurig. We even took advantage of the complimentary grill! The bed was comfortable enough that even this picky sleeper slept soundly!There were some fun extras, too! Although we didn't get to use the kayaks, we tried the crab traps for giggles and caught one crab before sending him on his merry way. We also gave the provided fishing pole a whirl and spent a fun evening playing "guess that fish." Avid fishermen may want to bring their own equipment, as what's provided is fairly basic, but it was a fun bonus!We spent our days exploring and our evenings relaxing by the river. This isn't a fancy resort, nor does it pretend to be. It's a charming, comfortable little getaway with beautiful views, thoughtful amenities, and a wonderful host. We'd happily stay again!

Call My Bluff hosted by Ms. Terry & is an excellent property. This is our 2nd weeklong stay while our kiddo is at one of the nearby camps during the day. Highlights for me were the peaceful moments on the hammock, or having morning coffee on the back porch looking out at the expansive river view. Highlights for the family were fishing on the dock & spending late afternoons in the pool. Don’t feel like cooking, then nearby Oriental has you covered. Need a a fun activity for the family, Aurora Fossil museum is a short drive away. We’ll be coming back for years to come.

Cottage with a view of dolphins

It was amazing to be able to see dolphins each morning from the porch! We utilized the free ferry daily. With a bit of driving, we spent time at the beach, visited oceanside communities and ate fantastic food!
