Good times

Very nice place. Not modern but it was so comfortable and charming we would highly recommend for its appeal. Close to Harkers island ferry and museum. Short drives to Beaufort and Morehead city for some great food and waterfront scenery. Good Times!

Lovely, Cozy Stay

This location was exactly as described and just perfect for a short family stay. We loved being on the island and the proximity to the ferry, local beaches, and more. The house was cozy, beds were comfy, and we had a wonderful time. If you're looking for a luxury experience, you may not adore this home, but if you're looking for comfort and ease, this is the perfect place!
