About this property
The High Tider Retreat + RV Hookup
Put all your worries behind you as you cross the Island bridge and enter the small community of Harkers Island. The High Tider Retreat, provides the quaint coziness you need to relax and enjoy the island life.
You'll be just around the corner from all the local hotspots. Billy's the local grocery store is just a walk or quick golf cart ride away. Be sure to get some of their fresh cut meats and hot breakfast sausage (our FAVORITE). Also, nearby is the Fish Hook Grill, Seaside Restaurant, and the Shark Island Eats food truck at the end of the island (Some places are only open seasonal). During your stay, be sure to schedule a day and take the ferry to Cape Lookout Lighthouse, see the Shackelford Banks Wild Horses, check out Sand Dollar Island, tour the Island and Small Waterfront of Beaufort, listen to the waves crash on Atlantic Beach, and take a tour of the famous Core Sound Waterfowl Museum. Lastly Don't forget to check out Down East Kayak Rentals to take a quick kayak around island and catch the magnificent sunsets. You can always relax at the Harkers Island Beach Access that is located right when get off the bridge onto the Island.
The modern southern style decorating greets you at the driveway and is continued throughout the home. The open concept Living and kitchen area are great for entertaining during your stay. The Primary Bedroom suite offers a comfy King bed and smart-tv with attached bathroom and walk in shower. The second bedroom on the opposite side of the home offers a Queen bed, next is the shared bathroom and then the third bedroom with a Trundle Twin bed. For additional sleeping, snuggle up on the couch in the Living Room.
The backyard boasts a grilling area for all the fresh fish you will catch during your stay. As well as a worry free fenced in yard to watch your fur babies run while napping in the hammock or having a drink at the outdoor table. The front yard offers plenty of parking for your boat and toys during your stay. You'll be conveniently located to the nearest boat ramp at the Harkers Island Fishing Center, beside Billys store.
The kitchen is stocked with all the cookware and dinnerware you'll need to enjoy your stay. The linens are all sanitized with bleach to ensure top quality cleanliness. The washer and dryer are available for your stay in the laundry room.
Beach Options Harkers Island Beach Access - approx 2 miles from the house, its right when you get off bridge to the island. It is on the sound. There is free limited parking.
Atlantic Beach, NC - This is the coast of NC, where you will pay to park and be on the actual beach. This option is 23 miles away. Plenty of parking.
Ferry to the Cape Lookout Lighthouse - THE BEST and MOST FUN option. This is what we do most weekends. You'll drive down to the end of the island (approx 1 mile), hop on the large passenger ferry boat (my uncle is one of their captains) and go to the Cape Lookout Lighthouse. Which offers a sandy beach sound side to hang out, or walk over to the other side and lay by the actual beach. Also, can climb the lighthouse. For the Ferry Option you would need to book in advance and pay the fee (they offer numerous trips to and from during the day)
BUT WAIT, want to invite more family that has a camper or motorhome? We have a 50AMP full service hookup, for an additional fee of $50 per night. Just send us a message to set this up!
Pets are allowed with an additional $200 non-refundable fee. They must be house trained.

Located close to 3 different boat ramps with plenty of room to park vehicles and boat. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Would definitely stay there again.
We loved our stay here! The house was very clean and stocked with everything you need for a home away from home experience. The suggestion book was very helpful. We plan to revisit soon!
My family frequented Harkers island as a child and now returning as an adult brought back many fond memories. This place is the perfect get away and was an excellent escape even during one of the busiest times of the year for the surrounding areas!
The property is clean and well kept. The neighborhood is friendly and inviting. Our family enjoyed so much we are thinking it will be our new vacation spot.
We loved both the property and the neighborhood. Plenty of space to accommodate our family of 6. The home was comfortable and well stocked for our stay. Would highly recommend this home for your vacation to the crystal coast.
This little house was exactly what we needed for a quick weekend to see the stars. It was exactly as pictured and very clean. There were 4 of us staying and it fit all of us perfectly. The location is perfect and very close to the only grocery store on the island. We hope to be able to stay here again soon.
Property was clean, cozy and comfortable.
Shower in main bedroom had great water pressure.👍
Teenagers enjoyed the space also.
Fenced in backyard for our furbaby was a plus!🐶
Enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
This was a absolutely beautiful little gem! The island is so cute and quiet! Great location for cape lookout and sounding towns! What a beautiful place clean, convenient and absolute gem! Definitely a place I would go back too!
We loved our stay. The place was so clean and welcoming. Cape lookout was fantastic and the water was beautiful. We said so many times it looked like bahama water, not sure if it was the time of the year. We are ready to go back to Harkers Island, we loved the seclusion of it. Thank you Cody for letting us stay in your little slice of heaven. See you next year
Awesome find, super happy we found this for our trip! The house was so so clean and inviting. Stocked with beach stuff ( cooler , umbrella , chairs ) incase you forgot yours. Awesome fenced in back yard for the pups with a safe and spacious area. Nice neighborhood/location , was very peaceful! Would book again 10 out of 10!
We enjoyed our stay, the listing was as described. The house was fully furnished with everything needed. Owners even provided us with a Bluetooth speaker as we forgot ours at home. Everyone enjoyed their stay even the dog! And when it rained, we enjoyed ice cream from the local gift shop/restaurant. We have already recommended this place to friends that have expressed an interest in visiting Down East!
We truly enjoyed staying at the High Tide Retreat at Harkers Island! The property was true to the description and we had everything we needed. The location is awesome and walking distance to a great restaurant and small grocery store. We did a lot of exploring in Beaufort which is a beautiful short drive away. My 8 year old grandson really enjoyed cape lookout and fishing on the nice pier at the new bridge onto the island. We will definitely stay here again. Cody was very responsive and helpful during our stay!

Why they chose this property
Hi! We have owned the land for years, as my wife was born and raised on the island. We put this brand new Mobile Home in 2020, and then had the opportunity to purchase my grandfathers home just down the road. So here we are, setting this place up so you can enjoy, what we call, paradise.
