The Cottage had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The kids loved the large yard area and the hammock and enjoyed swimming in the Sound. Quaint and quiet, great neighbors - so easy to enjoy yourself.

My daughter and I stayed at this lovely cottage for five nights. We were looking for a relaxing, cozy place to get away and this perfectly fit the bill. We absolutely loved sitting outside and watching the boats in the sound. Lovely!

We had a wonderful relaxing weekend at the cottage. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed being outside in the hammock and on the dock. Our dogs enjoyed being with us and the neighborhood was a great place to walk. We had all we needed to cook and only left the cottage for one meal during our stay. Definitely recommend if you are looking to relax!

The cottage is an excellent way to spend a peaceful view of Bogue Sound. Plenty of space to spread out throughout the house and still have amazing views of sound. Close to grocery store and several eating facilities, shopping and just simply enjoying the Newport area.

Just completed a two-week stay at this quiet, clean, and relaxing property. Most exceptional was the availability of our host whenever a question was raised. A great location with the shopping and dining in Morehead City and Atlantic Beach just a few minutes away. Certainly a great property for just getting away and having some quiet time and enjoying nature. Certainly worthy of a return trip.

Lovely cottage on the water. The large yard was perfect for our dogs. Just be aware there isn’t a fence between this property and the neighbor who has 3 dogs with an electric fence. I recommend an e collar if you let your dogs off leash. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The living room was perfect for winding down at the end of the day.

About the host

Hosted by Hines & Sarah Scott

Hines and I, (Sarah Scott) call Snow Hill, North Carolina, home – a town that echoes simplicity and genuine warmth. As small-town people, we deeply value life's simple pleasures, and you'll find that essence reflected in every amenity provided at "The Cottage." Here's to embracing the beauty of simplicity and creating lasting memories together.

Hines inherited this beautiful haven after his father's passing in October 2020, and much like his dad, Hines has a heart for sharing. He cherishes the idea of creating a welcoming space, not just for friends and family, but for kindred spirits seeking a peaceful escape by the sound. That's why we've opened our doors to guests on VBRO – to extend the warmth and joy that "The Cottage" embodies.

We find joy in sharing the experience of creating lasting memories with other families. From sunrise to sunset, the echoes of laughter and shared moments are what make this place truly special. It's not just a house; it's a home that carries the legacy of love passed down through generations.

When the house is not rented, we share the home with our family and friends! If you find a stray dog toy in the house or yard, fear not, we bring our three golden retrievers every time! They add an extra layer of warmth and joy, just as we hope your stay at "The Cottage" will be filled with moments that create bonds and stories to cherish.

We look forward to welcoming you to "The Cottage” and sharing the love, laughter, and serenity that make this place a haven for all who step through its doors. Here's to creating memories that will be enjoyed for generations to come!

What makes this property unique

Nestled in the heart of Newport, on the Bouge Sound our property is more than just a house; it's a repository of history and simple charm. The echoes of family tales and the timeless allure of Southern living infuse every corner. From its roots as a cherished family home to the serene simplicity that defines it, "The Cottage on Bouge Sound" stands as a unique haven where the past and present intertwine, inviting you to be part of its story. Step into a space where history meets simple charm, and discover the distinct warmth that sets our property apart.
