About this property
Sunset Cottage on Calico Creek
Sunset Cottage on Calico Creek is an updated, vintage fishing cottage, built in 1942 but with all the modern conveniences. It lies right on the bank of Calico Creek and in the heart of Morehead City at 20th street.
Kayak from the side yard or the 20th street bridge, walk or ride your bike 1/2 mile to the beach on the Sound and the downtown waterfront filled with shops and restaurants, put your boat in at the Morehead City public ramp at the Visitor's Center less than 2 miles from the cottage, or drive the 7 minutes to Atlantic Beach. You can do it all from Sunset Cottage, at an affordable rate, and then enjoy spectacular sunsets on the water from the screened porch or the second floor deck overlooking Calico Creek.
Decorated like the fishing cottage it was intended to be, Sunset Cottage has two bedrooms - a primary with a queen bed and a second with a queen and two twins. There is a full hall bathroom upstairs that the bedrooms share, and a powder room downstairs with a private outdoor shower.
The modern kitchen has a ceramic cooktop and oven, fridge, and a counter-top ice maker. The coffee bar offers a drip coffeemaker, grinder, a cartridge machine (Keurig-style), and an electric kettle for tea drinkers. A kayak and corn hole game is provided for your enjoyment but once the peaceful setting soaks in, you may not want to do anything but watch the water, sky and wildlife that surrounds you.
