This little get away on Harkers Island is perfect. The house is in a great location and is everything you need for a weekend away at the beach. The host and her husband are always available for any concerns or questions. We enjoyed our stay and will be back again soon.

WE WERE ON A 30 DAY VACATION THAT INCLUDED 3 VRBO 7- NIGHT PROPERTIES AND A ONE WEEK PRIVATE TRAVEL CLUB PROPERTY. THIS VRBO WAS NOT THAT DESIRABLE. WE WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT TO FAMILY OR FRIENDS.HOWEVER, THE THREE BEDROOMS WERE NICELY DECORATED AND FURNISHED. THERE WERE NICE PICTURES AND DECOR ON THE WALLS THROUGHOUT.1. THIS 100 YEAR OLD PROPERTY HAD AGE RELATED ISSUES AND MAINTENANCE ISSUES.2. THE MICROWAVE STOPPED WORKING THE 2ND DAY BUT THE OWNER REPLACED IT THE SAME DAY WITH OUR GRATITUDE.2. THE BUGS, ESPECIALLY LARGE ROACHES AND FLYING INSECTS AND THE BACK PORCH WERE A CONSTANT NUISANCE.3 THERE WAS A NOSEY NEIGHBOR.4. MANY OF THE POTS AND PANS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.5. THE CARPORT ROOF HAD HOLES, SOME LARGE.6. THE STOVE AND REFRIGERATOR WERE OLD AND VERY WORN. 7. THE SCREEN DOOR TO THE SCREENED PORCH WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO OPEN AND CLOSE.8. NO DISHWASHER AND NO WATER IN FRIDGE DOOR AND NO ICE MAKER.

Quiet and spacious

Very comfortable house, loads of space and lots of storage. We really loved the welcome basket filled with goodies! Plenty of towels, blankets, and essentials. The front bedrooms were extemely bright at night, so much so that we spent a good part of our second day shopping for sleep masks. The beds were very comfortable though and there was plenty of room in the closets and dressers. Some of the soap dispensers were almost empty, but there were so many other things provided that made up for it - shampoo, conditioner, bottles of water, etc. A lot of very welcoming touches that were much appreciated!sexond

Very nice place. Not modern but it was so comfortable and charming we would highly recommend for its appeal. Close to Harkers island ferry and museum. Short drives to Beaufort and Morehead city for some great food and waterfront scenery. Good Times!
