Our home is located in the Down East area of Carteret County. We're on the coast, so there's tons of water-related activities!!

Our home is located in the area called Down East, which is part of the Outer Banks National Scenic Byway. The area was chosen due to the natural landscape and, specifically, the community-based culture of the thirteen communities that comprise Down East.

Beach area is within 1/2 mile offering opportunity to appreciate water sports. Located on the shore of Harkers Island is a nice stretch of beach adored by many locals and visitors. It is very kid-friendly with a impressive shoreline. Parking is limited, so get there early!!

Kayak units are available 1/8 of a mile from our home at Down East Kayaks. Prices are very reasonable. They deliver and pick up the kayaks for you! www.downeastkayaks.com

Cape Lookout National Seashore ferry is within 4 miles. The ferry will take you to Cape Lookout Lighthouse and surround beach areas. You let them know the time you want to return, and the ferry will be at the dock to pick you up! You can choose to go to the Lighthouse side of the park or Shackleford Banks island.
Take food, umbrellas, water and anything else you would like to have with you on the beach. Rest room facilities are available at the lighthouse but the visitors center only sells water and a limited amount of snacks.

Shackleford Banks is home to 130 wild ponies and they are splendid to observe from a distance. Remember - they are wild so follow the rules that are posted on the island.

Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center is located on Harkers Island, roughly 4 miles from our home. The museum contains an handsome collection of Down East history, duck hunting, and culture.

A little further away is Cedar Island Horse Stables. There you can rent horses to ride along the beach. It's a humongous hit with the visitors. The drive is about 30-40 mins. from our home but well worth the trip.

You can savor our deck with table/chairs facing the back yard.
Space is supplied if you bring along your boat!!

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summertime is high season in the Beaufort, NC area. Reserve your Beaufort, NC vacation in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, NC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the host right away to relay your findings.

• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
