About this property

Coastal Retreat on Waterway w/Hot Tub

Quaint 3 bdrm 2 ba home situated on the intracoastal waterway. Want to go to the beach but don`t want to be in the mainstream of it all? We are close enough but far enough. Enjoy tranquil moon lit nights listening to dolphins as they swim by. By day, lounge on the porch, pergola, hot tub or dock and watch the parade of boats pass by. For the fishing enthusiasts an array of fish can be caught from the dock to incl, sheep`s head, flounder, puppy drum, speckled trout, blue fish, crabs and more.

This beautiful 3 bedroom 2 bath waterfront home is located on the intracoastal waterway. If you love boating this is the place to view boats of all sorts and sizes to include multi-million dollar luxury yachts to barges over 200 ft long. This section of the waterway connects the Pamilco Sound to the Atlantic Ocean. The designer kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances to include gas cooktop, dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal, water filter faucet and USB outlets in bar. The livingroom offers a gas fireplace for cool nights and TV with Bose surround sound. The master bedroom features a king bed and private full bath. For those that have Verizon cell service we have a Verizon cell service extender, so you`ll enjoy 4 to 5 bars of service! Say hey to the neighborhood dog Lucy. She`s sure to pay you a visit.

The listing and the previous reviews are spot on. This is a great place to retreat from the chaos of life. Enjoy taking a deep breath of coastal air, watch the boats go by, see stars that you can not see if you live in town, admire the graceful movements of dolphins, relax in the hot tub, etc. We can not wait to go back again.

Wonderful spot

Lovely view of water with lots of boats and a few dolphins to watch go by from the screened porch or the waterside dock. I enjoyed the quiet. The teenager enjoyed the beach and shops 30 minute drive away. Really well equipped cooks’ kitchen. Grill and hot tub were wonderful.

Wonderful stay

This property was so nice! As a family of four with two littles we had so much space and such a fun time. Watching all the boats go by was definitely a hit. The neighbors were very quiet-we didn’t even realize we were next to anyone. Will definitely visit again.

Outdoor Oasis Tucked Away in Peaceful Area

We really enjoyed our time at this rental property. The home was very clean and well stocked. The outdoor areas were our favorite part. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, fishing from the dock, and watching the boats. A highlight was seeing a pair of dolphins swim by.

Nice home in a great location on the water. The home has everything you could possibly need It is close enough to Beaufort but far enough from all the crowds and traffic. We enjoyed fishing from the dock when we were not out in our boat on the water.

The property was very nice, as advertised. Beach access was very convenient. Everyone loved the hot tub and heated pool. Only negative(minor) was that the water pressure in the showers was restricted by the low flow showerheads. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Greg Melang

Host profile image
We love to travel and enjoy various activities such as skiing, biking, hiking, fishing and lots of other outdoor activities. We choose this home in Newport due to its close proximity to Beaufort and Morehead City yet far enough away to avoid mainstream traffic. We have created so many great memories at our Coastal Retreat we decided to share this property with hopes you'll enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Perfectly situated on the intra-coastal waterway. The home is cozy and scenic with views of the dolphins and bait fish that go up and down the water way as well as the boat traffic. We also enjoy the beach, fishing and boating.
