The Waterfront Fishing Cottage! Decorated with a whimsical fishing theme décor. Located feet away from the Intracoastal Waterway. Bring your boat; you have free access to our private ramp with "no" wait time. Don't have a boat? Fish off our fishing pier and clean your fish at the end of the dock or sit and relax and watch the yachts and dolphins going by daily. We are a pet-friendly Vacation Rental, and there is a pet fee. There is a Queen-sized bed in the primary bedroom and bunk beds in the private area; the kids may want to bring their sleeping bags and sleep in the loft, even if they are 20+. There is a full bath, kitchen, and the living room. Rustic on the outside, beachy on the inside. The 10ft deep shaded porch is a great place to gather in the afternoon and evening. We offer self-check-in. But please stop by the office to sign in and pick up literature to make your stay more enjoyable. We will be more than happy to assist you. Janet is a local and is our concierge and can help guide you to the locations you are interested in and restaurant choices.
The Cottage includes a Queen Bed - 1 bath -shower stall/sink -- a separate room with sink/toilet. Queen sleeper sofa in the living area. Full kitchen with Kcup coffee maker, toaster oven, stove/oven, paper towels, mustard and ketchup in the refrigerator, toilet paper, aluminum foil, wax paper, sandwich bags, and trash bags. Need anything else? Let us know if you want a firepit, grill, and/or picnic tables. They are available upon request.

We are just 10 minutes away from Historic Beaufort. Fabulous unique shopping and restaurants, boating trips to Shackleford, and book an eco-tour of the Rachel Carson Estuary, Mariners Museum, Beaufort Historical grounds, and art museum. Scenic bus tours of Beaufort or boat tours to see dolphins. You can even take a sunset cruise on the Lookout sailboat. If you love the water, you will not be disappointed in the activities available. Here are just a few of the things you can do while visiting with us: swim, sail, boat, charter a tour, a cruise, snorkel, surfing at Atlantic Beach, paddle-board, kayak, jet ski, deep-sea fishing, secure a Pirate ship, treasure hunt, take a sunset cruise on the Lookout sailboat, pick up seashells, visit an aquarium, museums, libraries, take a trip to Shackleford Banks, see the wild Spanish Mustangs, explore great dive sites, dig for clams, gig a flounder, look for dolphins, go para-sailing, take a ferry over to Ocracoke, visit the 9-mile long island of Shackleford Banks, go Megaladon tooth diving, dive the many shipwrecks, buy a new surfboard, visit Cape Lookout National Seashore, and Shark Island.
Not much for water sports? That's okay you take a tour of Historic Beaufort on a real English Double-Decker bus, dancing, golfing, shopping, eating, play volley ball on the beach, enjoy a murder mystery dinner theater, walk the many fishing piers, fly a kite on the beach, have a picnic, walk the Beaufort's and Morehead's boardwalks, droll over yachts and sailboats docked at the marinas, experience wonderful photo opportunities, visit Beaufort's old graveyards, tours historic homes, take a pirate's tour of downtown, rent bikes, site seeing, listen to local musicians, visit Fort Macon, visit the Core Sound Waterfowl and Heritage center, visit Beaufort's Historic Grounds, watch local artists paint, relax at a tiki bar, set on the outside decks of local restaurants and have a wonderful meal and meet the locals, take your dog for a walk, or if all else fails, we recommend you just take time to relax and spend time with those you love in our friendly little town.

Had a very nice stay
Check in was seamless and Richard was very helpful. Small hiccup on the original cottage but Richard was able to make things right and moved us to a different cottage. All was well. Very close to Beaufort and great views.

Relaxation and Beautiful scenery
We loved staying in this cottage. It was so peaceful and quiet. We sat on the back porch every morning with our coffee and two dogs watching the yachts and trawlers go by. some waved as we waved to them or they blew their horn. Loved every minute we were there. Caught a red drum and ate it and it was delicious. I Want to go back this fall for another stay.

Small but everything we needed. Very honest owners!
We booked this last minute for our family of 4. We knew we really just needed a place to shower and sleep as we would be enjoying the crystal coast with beaching and both day fishing and night fishing. It worked well for us. The boat dock is beside cottage and made boating so easy. The covered porch was perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee and watching the boats cruise the ICW. After checkout I realized I had left something small I sent a text and a few days later it arrived in the mail.

Vacation
This was our second visit to this property and we enjoyed it as much as the first time. After checking in at the office, we were greeted by the owner Richard as we were unloading. He gave us lots of restaurant ideas for the week. Will and Lisa were both very helpful during the week and at checkout. This little fishing cottage is all you need to enjoy some time on the waterway. An easy drive to Beaufort, Morehead City and Atlantic Beach where you will find plenty of food and shopping along with beautiful beaches. We would recommend taking the ferry over to Cape Lookout National Seashore. Hopefully we can get back for another visit in the future. Thank you for an amazing week!

Short and Sweet Stay
My husband and I enjoyed our short time at the Fishing Cottage. Nestled along the waterway, it was fun watching the boats sail by during breakfast.
