About this property
⛵️Coastal Cottage in Waterfront Neighborhood
This coastal cottage located in beautiful Cape Carteret sits in a quaint waterfront neighborhood just a short distance to Emerald Isle beaches, local dining and entertainment. Bring your boat, jet skis, bikes or golf cart—there’s plenty of room in the driveway!
Many modern amenities are offered, including:
-Paved parking -Large porch with built-in furniture and grill -Washer and Dryer -Newly renovated kitchen, fully stocked with cookware -Dishwasher -High speed Wi-Fi -AppleTVs with YouTubeTV
This two bedroom, one and a half* bathroom house has been renovated over the past few years with major upgrades to the kitchen in 2020. There is a large porch and yard for entertaining, and a large driveway to accommodate multiple vehicles as well as trailers, boats and jet skis!
The kitchen is fully stocked with quality stainless and nonstick cookware, spices and all the basics. When you’re done cooking, enjoy the ease of using the dishwasher! A front load washer and dryer are available for use as well. Detergent and dryer sheets are included!
The master bedroom offers a queen bed, new in 2021, and plenty of closet space. The loft-style bedroom upstairs has two memory foam full beds, new in 2021. There are both gel and gusseted pillows available, so pick whichever you prefer!
The full bath downstairs has a tile shower with a divine rain shower head. A quality soap and shampoo will be provided.
*The ceiling in the half bath upstairs follows the pitch of the roof and therefore the headroom is limited. It’s perfect for kids, but an adult male may find it a little bothersome.
I have a virtual guidebook that can be viewed on your smartphone, tablet or laptop that contains my personal recommendations for the area, house rules, check-in procedures and anything else you could ever dream to know about the house, neighborhood and surrounding area! I will send this to you once a booking is confirmed so you can begin planning your stay!
This coastal cottage is in Bayshore Park, Cape Carteret, which is a waterfront neighborhood with beautiful views of Bogue Sound, the ICW and Emerald Isle! The neighborhood has four waterfront parks for water access (kayak launch, fishing etc.) including a small pier that can be used for crabbing or fishing! All four parks are a very short walk from the house.
Swansboro and Emerald Isle are both less than 10 minutes away, and Morehead City is only 20 minutes up highway 24. There are several boat ramps, water accesses and nature tails close by.
Cape Carteret, Swansboro and Emerald Isle each have a large selection of renowned restaurants of all price points, and I would be glad to offer recommendations based on your specific taste.
Golfin’ Dolphin and Mac Daddy’s offer mini golf, bowling, go-carts, a driving range, arcade games and even a high ropes course right here in town!
Bring your boat! The house is located just a short distance from several boat ramps including Broad Creek, Cedar Point, Emerald Isle and Shell rock Landing...it just depends on where you’re wanting to fish! (I am a professional mariner by trade, so I’d be glad to give you any pointers about getting around on the water and maybe even a few fishing tips!)
***Hurricane Season disclaimer: In the event a named storm is forecasted to impact the area, and a mandatory evacuation is issued by the local or state government, you will be required to leave the house. Hurricane shutters will be put up, and the house will not be accessible until after the storm passes. Of course, a refund of the days you left early will be gladly issued.***

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage! It was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.The peaceful setting made it the perfect place to unwind, and the host was friendly, responsive, and made us feel right at home.We would absolutely recommend this cottage and would love to return!
This is the second time we rent this cottage from Andrew. This is a great property, very clean, and with many amenities (coffee!) The owner is very responsive as well as attentive to making us feel welcome and taken care of. Having a personalized downladable app to keep all directions on my phone was also great! Thank you. We will be back!
Adorable cottage in immaculate condition with lots of character in quiet neighborhood. Andre was great with all communications and assistance. We will be back!!
We enjoyed our stay! Well equipped house, with a good location. Host had great communication. Would definitely rent this place again.

Paula, thank you for the wonderful five star review! I’m glad you and your family enjoyed the house and I hope y’all will come back again!
The kitchen was fully equipped, everything was there down to the spices. The house was immaculate, tastefully decorated, inviting and cozy. Our host was very professional but more important genuinely concern that our stay would be memorable. Which I can honestly say indeed it was. Thank you Andrew for allowing my wife and I to enjoy your dwellings.
This space was excellent. It was decorated so cute! Check in was seamless, communication was great and the location was quiet but close to Emerald Isle for beach and restaurants. My family and I loved this rental. The owner is so thoughtful providing extras such as shampoo, body wash, toilet paper, even lotion ! Can’t say enough !

Thank you for the five star review! I’m glad you found all the little extras provided to be useful!
Wanted to break the summer in with a quick getaway to a new area. Coastal cottage was the perfect spot. Had everything we needed and then some. Great communication, extremely clean, and home was on spot with the pics. Will definitely be back again!
Clean, cozy, beautifully decorated! Very quick drive to the beach and family activities. Neighborhood was so quiet and a 5 min walk down to the Bogue Sound. Perfect place to stay for our young family (5 &3)!

Enjoyed our stay with family. Nice neighborhood and location. Plenty of room to park and nice paved driveway. Andrew is a great host with all details that are needed for a pleasant stay in his home.
Home was clean!, owner was very easy to contact and check in process was effortless, and I had a great time! Home was very neat and clean and I would definitely stay again, and I am very thankful for the hospitality
This cottage is the perfect spot for a Crystal Coast beach getaway. Located in a quiet neighborhood within minutes of the beach. Easy drive to all the attractions in the area.
The cottage is clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended.

About the host

I am a full time merchant mariner sailing mostly along the eastern seaboard. You’ll notice plenty of nautical decor and a bookshelf full of books about ships and the ocean. I’m excited to be sharing my home with vacationers while I am at sea!
Why they chose this property
Carteret County is the only place I’d ever want to call home. I consider myself very lucky to live on the Crystal Coast, and I hope you will enjoy the area and home as much as I do!
