About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Gillikin

Host profile image
The Landing is owned by Dana and Beth Gillikin, lifelong Harkers Island natives. The property carries deep family roots — formerly the site of Yeomans Seafood and the Yeomans Fish House run by Ellis and Melissa Yeomans — and blends that heritage with a beautiful waterfront setting. We’re excited to share our love for this special place and invite guests to experience its history, charm, and natural beauty.

Why they chose this property

A short stroll from The Landing brings you into the heart of Harkers Island’s quietly beautiful rhythm: low-slung homes and weathered docks edged by salt-grass marshes, winding lanes framed by live oaks and palmettos, and wide water views that change from glassy blue in the morning to fiery oranges at sunset. You’ll hear gulls, distant boat engines, and the gentle slap of tides against pilings; local fishermen and charter captains launch from nearby ramps, while shorebirds probe the flats at low tide. What we love most about the neighborhood is that everyday life here feels unhurried and genuine—neighbors know each other, the seafood smells carry on the breeze, and there’s always an easy way to get on the water for shelling, fishing, or an evening cruise. It’s a place where maritime heritage and natural beauty meet, perfect for slowing down, exploring hidden inlets, and sharing simple moments with family and friends.

What makes this property unique

What sets The Landing apart is the blend of fresh, comfortable accommodation and authentic Harkers Island character. Our brand‑new waterfront house offers modern finishes and panoramic water views—so guests get the convenience and comfort of new construction with immediate access to boating, kayaking, and sunsets from the deck.

Beyond the house itself, the property’s history and local roots make it unique: formerly home to Yeomans Seafood and the Yeomans Fish House, The Landing carries generations of island maritime heritage, shared by owners Dana and Beth Gillikin, lifelong Harkers Island natives. That local connection means guests receive genuine recommendations, warm hospitality, and an insider’s sense of place.

We also provide experiences many rentals don’t: on-site, eco-friendly private charters for shelling, fishing, lighthouse tours, and dinner cruises—perfect for custom group outings or special occasions. Small thoughtful touches (complimentary Welcome Pack, flexible check-in, starter essentials, and gear storage) plus attentive, responsive hosting make stays smooth and stress-free.

In short: new, comfortable waterfront lodging; deep local history and hospitality; convenient private marine access and eco-conscious charter options; and guest-focused details that turn a stay into a memorable island experience.
