Harkers Island Family Vacation

Excellent time spending the week on Harkers Island, watching afternoon sunsets, fishing off our own private pier and visiting the local attractions. We will definitely be revisiting in the future.

The view from the house is highly underrated!! Just a great place to stay for a laid back family vacation!! We definitely will be back hopefully this year and definitely from here on out!! Fishing on the dock and not having to deal with crowds is the best part of Harkers Island!! The house was super clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

Harkers Island Family Vacation - Excellent

We had an excellent family vacation. The house is located on the water with the deck facing southwest providing incredible views and sunsets. The property has its own private dock with excellent fishing. The location is position in a quiet area that is closely located to Beaufort, Morehead City and Atlantic Beach. There is easy access to the ferry which takes you over to Cape Lookout. The owners are very responsive and helpful. Overall, just an incredible experience for the family.

Convenient and quiet

Convenient location to get to Cape Lookout visitor center and ferry service to the islands that we wanted to see. It was easy access to house, quiet neighborhood and pretty sunrises and sunsets.

Great spot right on the water

Our family had a great time. The new pier/dock is large and very nice with numerous rod holders. The location is nice and out of the way, but close to Beaufort and Morehead City. We would definitely recommend this property.

After Christmas Getaway!

This home will not disappoint! The home is very nice and the view is amazing! It is exactly how described and very well appointed. The dock is great but the fishing not so much this time of the year, which is no reflection on the home. The homeowner was quick to respond to a couple of questions I had. We just wanted to getaway and unwind after the holidays. This was our first visit to Harkers Island and we really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing your home!

Thanksgiving Fishing Trip

Awesome place. House and dock were just what we needed for our annual fishing trip. We all agreed this was the best place we've stayed on the island and we've stayed all over it. Alan is great host and we will be going back . Don't hesitate to book this listing !!

Beautiful!

The home was beautiful and well appointed. My family was so comfortable during our stay. The views from the deck and pier were magnificent between the gorgeous sunsets and the frequent dolphin sightings. There was plenty to do even for a family that doesn't fish. Harkers Island is away from the hustle and bustle (which we prefer), but plenty of tourist attractions are available in nearby towns.

Spectacular Sunsets

Lovely sunsets, fisherman delight with pier and remote location. Close to Beaufort which is a beautiful destination. Comfy master and layout provides separate living quarters for guests. Wish we were aware the outdoor lift was not operational as major part of decision of this destination. The instructions for check-in were outdated however a quick call to owners remedied the situation within a minute.

More than expected

Absolutely nothing to complain about, even if I were to nitpick. The house was everything the ad stated and more. The only problem was we had to leave a day early due to an emergency back home. My wife already wants to go back next year.

Harkers Island

This was the perfect place to decompress and enjoy nearby beach combing, shopping in Beaufort, fishing off the pier for trout, and local seafood. House has a very nice sized kitchen for groups that enjoy home cooked meals...very well stocked with most any cooking or serving pieces you could imagine. This is a very comfortable & beautifully decorated home. I would love to go back during warmer weather and take the kayaks. Even with a couple of days of cold, rainy weather, we had a great time just hanging out here. Highly recommend.

Harkers Island Getaway

Pros: Views were amazing! Great location Cons: Definitely not the most comfortable furniture! Couches were terrible! Pillows on beds awful. No where to rinse sand off before entering (side spigot didn’t work and no hose) When paying for cleaning services you should not have to drive to the dump to dispose of trash. Lastly, no book to explain how to run the TV etc or any type of emergency numbers.

Family vacation for holiday weekend

The waterfront location was relaxing. Easy check in and checkout. Safe location for family. The house had basic cleaning but not thorough. Used Coffee in coffee maker, qtips left in bathroom From previous renter, the one bathroom shower was not scrubbed. Layers of soap scum and hair. The washcloth I used turned brown after cleaning. Limited wash clothes for a family. No hand soap in bathroom. Limited household supplies compared to other rental homes. I had to do my own cleaning before I felt comfortable. You have to take the trash with you when you leave to a local dump, but the dump didnt open till 1pm and checkout was at 10am. Very inconvenient and limited space to travel with luggage and to add the trash for the trip home.

Great location

This home met all of our needs for a coastal getaway convenient to several sites without being in the middle of an overly built up area. Check in was simple. The house had everything we needed. We made trips into Beaufort, Moorehead City, Emerald Isle to Fort Macon, and on Harkers Island enjoyed walking trails at the NPS Cape Lookout visitor center, exhibits at the Waterfowl Museum, a ferry ride out to Cape Lookout Lighthouse and Shackleford to see the wild horses. We spent an afternoon just haging out on the home's deck enjoying the sunshine, ocean, and seabirds. It was a great stay.
