This home met all of our needs for a coastal getaway convenient to several sites without being in the middle of an overly built up area. Check in was simple. The house had everything we needed. We made trips into Beaufort, Moorehead City, Emerald Isle to Fort Macon, and on Harkers Island enjoyed walking trails at the NPS Cape Lookout visitor center, exhibits at the Waterfowl Museum, a ferry ride out to Cape Lookout Lighthouse and Shackleford to see the wild horses. We spent an afternoon just haging out on the home's deck enjoying the sunshine, ocean, and seabirds. It was a great stay.
