We are sorry that the water heater went out the weekend you were scheduled to arrive. We understand how disappointing and inconvenient this must have been, especially when travel plans are involved.
Unfortunately, we were not able to secure alternative accommodations for you within the Village, as all comparable properties were already booked at that time. We truly regret the disruption this caused to your stay.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a visit that is enjoyable, comfortable, and free of any mishaps.
Warm regards,
Beth Frazer Team
Very nice place. The views are excellent and the house was well stocked. There is a restaurant next door which is convenient. Coffee shop and other restaurants within walking distance. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon.

What a charming little cottage perfect for out weekend away with another couple. The house was well appointed and the water views amazing. Will def be back
The cottage was beautifully furnished. The reading side room was a plus. Luxurious beds and bedding. Porch overlooking marina was so relaxing with great seating. So many amenities included. Great restaurants including M &M's Cafe. Seafood was delicious. Beth Frazier Realty was great to work with. Would love to return. My 4'9" 90 year old mom said the beds were too high and needed a stool and the half bathroom was incredible small. Hard to shut door. Her comments.
We enjoyed the cottage location. We could walk to the park and farmers market on Saturday. We could ride bikes to the local shops. Eat next door at M&M's . Take the ferry over to Havelock and visit Beaufort, NC Debra Parks is an awesome Manager! She saved the day and brought lights back to the cottage so my husband could finish reading his book. She was warm and welcoming! Thanks so much, Debra.
