Ferry View-Beachfront Property on Pamlico Sound

We will back next summer. The home is very clean and up to date. Truly a gem! A great place to get away and enjoy the ocean! Kitchen has everything could ever need just bring your groceries. My favorite part is the front porch we sat out there more than we were in the house!

This rental home is the best for families who want to get away from it all! It is literally an hour from the nearest chain grocery store, no putt putt, go cart tracks- nothing that the kids will see and beg to go to which equals actual family time and less money spent! The highlight of this house has to be the porch overlooking the sound. The breeze blowing while you are listening to music (which is wired throughout the house) and sipping on a cup of coffee or sweet tea will bring back memories of childhood vacations with grandma and grandpa! There are multiple comforts of home in the house-like board games, playing cards, TV, full kitchen with all the necessities to make a gourmet meal, ping pong table under the house as well as corn hole! The beach is beautiful, but be warned, the jelly fish were out in droves when we were there. The water is about ankle deep for quite a ways put, so no true swimming in the sound, but it's perfect for fishing and putting your beach chair in the shallow water and basking in the sun! No seashells are on this beach, and sometimes if the wind dies down, you do get that marshy smell, but for the most part, it's just like the beach-beach smell and beach breeze. The rooms in the home are huge! There are 2 couches in the living room-one being a pull out. And also a recliner. Then there is the first bedroom which has a set of bunk beds-the bottom bunk is a full-top a twin. The next bedroom has 2 double beds. Then the master has a king and a sofa bed. Two bathroom are in the house-1st is a tub shower combo with a sink and toilet-large bathroom! The master bath has a stand up-walk in shower and a sink and toilet. It is also large. There is a restaurant within walking distance to the home called sharkys. It has pretty good food! The next place to "shop" would be the island convenience store. It has a little bit of food and paper supplies but take my word for it and make plans to stop at a grocery store before going to the house! A food lion is 53 minutes away...one way! And Walmart is about 1.5 hrs away! We loved the seclusion- we didnt feel like we had to go to all the touristy places and blow our money! We enjoyed a vacation of literally lounging all day either in the house or on the beach- all week long!!! Most relaxing vacation ever!!! If you want a vacation where you can actually recharge and soothe your mind and body- then this is the home for you!!!

First off let me say the house itself was great. The rooms had lots of space in them, the Master bedroom was huge. Supplied bedding and extra pillows. The living room kitchen area was spacious. We had room to lay our Great Danes dog bed (size of crib mattress) in front of the second set of glass doors with plenty of room. Kitchen had everything we needed. Bathrooms had plenty of room and even supplied towels, washcloths and a few extras. The air unit worked great during our July 4th stay. The front porch was screened, was the best! We spent most our time when at the house out there. The breeze at night on the porch was so nice. The beach was very private with beautiful white sand. The water was shallow for quite a ways out which worked out great for the kids and baby. They could run around and play all day with no worries. The waves that did come in were very light rolling. My 1 year old grandson has so much fun. You don't have to worry about the tide making you move. We set up and stayed in one spot all day. The guys fished there and even booked a fishing tour with one of the locals. They had a great and productive day. Near the Ferry rock wall the kids caught/released hermit crabs. They thought that was wonderful. A couple of us did the horse back riding on the beach which is on the other side of the ferry. The area has a local bar/grill Sharky's. We visited several times. They have good food and great pizza! The staff was very friendly. Be sure to stop and get all your grocery needs ahead of time as the nearest shopping center is about an hour out. If you are looking for a remote family time place to stay, without all the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist traffic this is the place to stay. I would highly recommend this house to anyone. Owners were great! We would defiantly stay here again! Thank you Holli and Allen for allow us to rent this unit and also for allowing my two great danes to stay as well. We had a great family vacation!!! ( Family of 6 adults, 3 Toddlers and 2 great Danes! ) Hudson NC!

The property is quintessential Caolina beach house. It was clean, well laid out and directly on the beach. Cedar Island is fairly isolated so the neighbors were few. We only saw people on the beach twice while we were there. It is the perfect place for getting away from it all and relaxing.

Soundside bungalow was the perfect house for the vacation. Beach was very private, quiet and amazing. The house was just as depicted in the photos, very clean with all the necessities provided as well as many many extras. They even supply the things you forget like cottonballs. Felt very much like home from the moment you stepped on the property. Close to the ferry, the stables, Sharkey's and the island convenient store. Views were amazing including the 180 degree views of the water and the most amazing sunsets and sunrises I have ever seen. This house and location is on the top of my list to go to again!! Thank you Hollie and Allen for allowing us to stay you amazing home! Until next time!!!
