Wonderful sunrise light streaming in every morning. Great way to start the day. Core sound. Is very tranquil to watch an occasional fishing boat pass by along with many sea birds. We have stayed here in the past to look forward to staying here again.

Private Get Away

The view from the house was amazing and provided everything we needed for a quiet beach get away! The road into the house was rougher than anticipated and we were glad to have been in a truck and not the convertible. The house sustained some damage from recent storm and is in the process of being repaired. The repair work and on site materials didn’t negatively impact our stay in any way. The birds, night sky, and water view were simply beautiful!

Everything as expected

Gorgeous views; amenities met all our needs. I’ve stayed in the area before so knew to meal plan ahead of time. Spent a day in Beaufort, fished off dock, kids swam in pool, could have done much more if the weather was nicer. Even with a little rain, drinking coffee on the deck with those views is exactly what I hoped for. Yes, the street is unique but everyone we spoke to was nice and it felt safe. The three dogs who explore off lease are friendly.

We had a terrific 3-day stay at the Seaside Cottage — truly a hidden gem! The peaceful, serene atmosphere was just what we needed to unwind. The cottage was spotless upon arrival, and the host was incredibly helpful and responsive to all of my questions, which made our stay even more enjoyable.We loved fishing off the sea wall at the end of the property and relaxing by the private pool. There was plenty of dock space to sit outside, soak in the views, and enjoy the coastal breeze.One thing to note for future guests: if you're planning to bring a boat, I recommend double-checking with the host about the depth of the boat slip. It was too shallow for our skiff, so we opted to use the Oyster Creek Marina just a mile down the road. I also brought my inflatable SUP, but didn’t use it due to the shallow channel and oyster shells — just something to keep in mind depending on your water gear.Overall, this was a perfect escape and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend for anyone seeking quiet, comfort, and beautiful waterfront scenery!

Paradise

The house and property were immaculate, with amazing views! A thunderstorm rolled through and was amazing to watch with wall to wall windows. I absolutely love the location and privacy. Close enough, and yet just far away to enjoy some alone time. The pool is superb, sparkling clean and being able to look out at the sound was both soothing and refreshing. Could not have had better communication with the host, she answered all my questions and was very easy to communicate with. There was minimum expectations upon departure, less than most rentals require. Can't wait to be able to book another trip as soon as we can, definitely one of my favorite places to stay downeast!!

Scenic getaway weekend

This house is tucked away from any crowds or traffic with beautiful water views from living room and kitchen. We had morning tea watching the egrets passing through the canals. Oysters, hermit crabs, minnows and more swim through the surrounding waters. Neighbors waved good morning when taking their boats out for the day. Peaceful, relaxed getaway from Baltimore for a few days. This was a good base to visit nearby beaches for the day or afternoon; Beaufort, Ft Macon state park and Emerald Isle. Very close to several of the ferries also, which we ran out of time for on this trip. Kitchen is clean and well supplied, living room bright and open. It was very hot during our stay but house stayed cool and comfortable even with tons of windows. Bedrooms are not very large but comfortable and big enough for our visit. Plenty of hot water in shower even with dual shower heads. Katrina was in regular communication with lots of helpful details for our trip. Would definitely stay again and plan to bring kayaks to take out and explore nearby!

Gorgeous views of the water from the house

The house is really nice and clean. The views from the living room and deck were beautiful with lots of different water foul and we even saw dolphins in the early morning. It’s a super quiet neighborhood. We were a little turned off with all of the abandoned structures on the road to the house but once we got there it was like a little oasis and very private and quiet. The only issues we had was with the quality of the water at first. The owner responded quickly to our concerns about the odor of the water and remedied it in short order. Whenever the odor came back we just had to run the outside hose for a while to eliminate it. The water pump makes a lot of noise after running the water but does eventually stop. It was annoying at first but we got used to it. The above ground pool was open and the deck around it looked nice but it was too cold to use it. Overall it’s a lovely house to stay in.

Fun little getaway

We had a great stay. Pros: lots of areas to fish and crab at. Place was clean. Pool was wonderful. Beds were nice. Cons: entrance driveway was awful with holes and since it rained. They were big mud holes. Glad we drove a truck. Washer/dryer combo had no instructions to use. Toilet seat was wobbly and would bang up against the wall when sat on. Neighbors complained of kids in the pool yelling and playing. We are on vacation, we were having a good time. Didn't like the security camera outside near the pool. Lights on the stairs at night were good so we could see the small mice that would be walking up and downstairs at night. Eeeek! I'm terrified of mice. I guess they were there because of all the run down stuff and junk that was on the sides of the driveway. Needs more storage space for clothes. There were no closets in rooms for clothes. Our clothes had to stay in the suitcase and were wrinkled. The light from the building near the pool shined through the queen bedroom at night, which made it hard to sleep. Stray dogs would come up in the yard every day barking at us. Other than those cons, we had a pretty good time. Caught some nice fish at the end of the dock. Katrina was a good host. Thank you so much.

Thank you for being our guest and sharing the details you have. We will make sure to have the toilet fixed, thank you for letting us know. I have reached out to my pest control company about your witness of mice outside to increase their services. We do have a closet with amble room for hanging your clothing with hangers provided in the bunk room, I'm not sure why this wasn't used. I believe our neighbors were more concerned with the jumping from the pool deck onto an object in the pool, they defiantly want everyone to have a good time, just safety is a main point they know we are concerned with. Thank you again for your notes, I am thankful we can address each of them.

Not for Us

Pros: The house looks nice inside. Pretty private, but a lot of construction work going on right near property. The glass windows make for a pretty view during sunrise. Did not smell like animals. Kitchen had plenty of cooking supplies. Towels and sheets were provided. Beds were pretty comfortable. We recommend the Island Express Ferry Service. They gave great ferry trips to the light house and were very engaging. Cons: Water had a terrible, TERRIBLE, smell of rotten eggs. It was so foul it was difficult to take a shower and at times was hard to sit in the living room for the odor after someone showered. Had to do things we would rather not do on vacation like, drive to the dump daily. No bigger trash cans provided, so we didn't have a place to put trash and certainly did not want more nasty smells in house. If we used the pool we had to take the cover on an off, which was quite cumbersome. We weren't given a passcode until the day of the stay, which made me wonder if they simply do not change the passcode with each guest. We also did not get the large list of chores/ house rules until the day we arrived. We felt that should be provided during the cancellation period in case the rules are "too much", but that is just our opinion. There were outside cameras they said they used for when the property was vacant (which is understandable) but, it still felt weird hanging outside by the pool of deck. Paid a cleaning fee but had to strip the beds and collect the towels and put in specific area to make it convenient for the cleaning person. Plus, the morning we checked out we were told to throw stuff in washing machine and start it. Umm, cleaning fee? It was a washer drier all in one machine combo and got very hot during use so we did not feel comfortable starting it since no one would be there. The road to the property looked sketchy, we don't think it was dangerous, but not very attractive. There were a number of abandon tractors trailers, old boats and what looked like abandon buildings. If you plan to eat out you had better leave early because there is nothing close by, except a pizza place and maybe an ice cream shop. The owner could not do anything about these cons: The county was spraying (I guess for mosquitoes) when we had our dog out for his last walk at night. They sprayed over our car and us! They were also doing assessments, but were not very intrusive, but did come 2 days in a row. The cable went out. This place wasn't for us.

Thank you for staying at the property and we greatly appreciate the feedback. Please accept our apologies for the cons you have listed. I do wish you had of messaged me about this during your stay and we could of taken care of much of this. We have a company which maintenances the water system and could of resolved the sulfur smell within minutes. Until the weather is much warmer, we do require a pool cover to maintain a heated pool for the convenience of our guest to be able to use it. It is really up to the guest if they want to take on the extra work until the weather supports a suitable water temperature for guests. The cable did go out for one day during your stay, only the television station not the internet which was still able to support all of the remaining apps we have logged in on the televisions in the home (netflix, prime, paramount, cbs, espn, etc). For the security of the home and those we have servicing the home, we do not give you the check in information to the home until day / time of check in. For which you received the check in information almost two hours prior to check in time. Again, thank you for your feedback, we have taken your information to better improve our property for others!

Where do I begin? I’ll start by saying that we fell in love with this cottage and really hope that it is available for our next trip. Our family loves being down east and this place offered a beautiful and comfortable place to land during our trip. The harbor road is really neat with vacant industrial buildings and old boats. You definitely feel that you’re in a fishing village. We all enjoyed searching for crabs, hermit crabs, and watching the fish swim around. Both sunrise and sunset views were incredible from the property and waking up and walking out into the living room lined with wall to wall windows took my breath away. Having access to a private saltwater pool was also a highlight of the trip for my daughter and husband who refuses to get into public pools. The people in the area a friendly. Our dogs thoroughly enjoyed being able to swim and check out all of the wildlife too. The cottage was well stocked, clean, and very comfortable. The water can get a really strong sulfur smell when you shower and we chose to bring bottled water for cooking and drinking as the tap didn’t really seem potable but that can be pretty typical of the coastal region. We are so so grateful to have found this gem! Many thanks to you Katrina!

The most amazing place!

This is our 2nd stay and we just love this cottage. It is truly one of my favorite places on Earth. The property is super clean and equipped with absolutely everything we could have wanted or needed. The decor is modern and bright with wraparound window views to die for. The pool is awesome and just standing in the pool with such incredible views of the sound is surreal. We also love exploring the area. The people here are wonderful and friendly. That unique brogue accent is live and well in Davis, NC too. If you are seeking blissful tranquility, a desire to bond again with nature and something a little off the beaten path, you will love this place as much as we do. Katrina is very quick to respond, very accommodating and a wonderful host. I would recommend highly! Thank you for sharing your property with us.

The much needed staycay

As a local business owner and a mother to a special needs young man, vacationing away from home is quite difficult for our family. So we “staycation”. This property was everything my soul needed and more! Beautiful views, fishing, crabbing, clamming…. We had two different clam chowder dinners, and feasted on rock crab claws. The sunrises and sunsets were food for my soul! We will for sure be back. ❤️🌊🎣

Why they chose this property

Traveling to the core sound many times over the past years, we purchased this property because of the breathtaking views of the core sound. Many call this area a "hidden gem". The community is inviting with antique shops, local artwork, and boutiques abound. The location of this home provides access to the national seashore where you can experience private beaches and experience the core sound by boat. We've seen the best sun rises, moon reflections on the water and porpoise swimming within inches of our boat as we depart the property.
