We are sorry that the water heater went out the weekend you were scheduled to arrive. We understand how disappointing and inconvenient this must have been, especially when travel plans are involved. Unfortunately, we were not able to secure alternative accommodations for you within the Village, as all comparable properties were already booked at that time. We truly regret the disruption this caused to your stay. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a visit that is enjoyable, comfortable, and free of any mishaps. Warm regards, Beth Frazer Team

wonderful location

We enjoyed the cottage location. We could walk to the park and farmers market on Saturday. We could ride bikes to the local shops. Eat next door at M&M's . Take the ferry over to Havelock and visit Beaufort, NC Debra Parks is an awesome Manager! She saved the day and brought lights back to the cottage so my husband could finish reading his book. She was warm and welcoming! Thanks so much, Debra.

The cottage was beautifully furnished. The reading side room was a plus. Luxurious beds and bedding. Porch overlooking marina was so relaxing with great seating. So many amenities included. Great restaurants including M &M's Cafe. Seafood was delicious. Beth Frazier Realty was great to work with. Would love to return. My 4'9" 90 year old mom said the beds were too high and needed a stool and the half bathroom was incredible small. Hard to shut door. Her comments.

We had an incredible 4-night stay while visiting our son who is a counselor at Camp Seagull. We loved having our morning coffee on the porch and enjoying the marina view throughout the day. The kitchen and house were well stocked with essentials so it was easy to settle in and enjoy our time. We rented bikes from the marina shop, went on runs and walks through town, enjoyed coffees from Beans and took a fishing charter right from the town dock. We would definitely stay here again!
