*********************************************************************************************
*Vacationers who want to experience a slice of authentic “Down East” culture will want to visit picturesque Harker’s Island. Located just east of the town of Beaufort and the Crystal Coast beaches, this small coastal community has retained its small-town charm throughout the centuries, and is a popular destination for fishermen, mariners, and anyone who appreciates a slower pace of life.

The Core Sound Waterfowl Museum is one of the most popular destinations for day-trippers, thanks to its focus on local heritage, live demonstrations, and a scenic locale that’s close to nature trails and natural landscapes.

In addition, Harkers Island visitors will be roughly a mile away from a National Park Service mandated passenger ferry service, which departs daily during the spring, summer and fall seasons to the shoreline of the Cape Lookout National Seashore. Via this brief 30-45 minute boat ride, visitors can explore the Cape Lookout Lighthouse, as well as the miles of beaches that are famed for exceptional fishing and shelling.

There are also a number of local charter boat and tour companies that are locally owned and which depart from Harkers Island for inshore fishing expeditions, area cruises, offshore charters, and / or all of the above. Because Harkers Island has a rich history as a destination for exceptional hunting and fishing guides, the roughly half dozen charter businesses that call this region home are well-reviewed for their extensive knowledge of the local fishing grounds and landscape.

There are also 3-4 restaurants in Harkers Island, which specialize in local seafood and basic but appealing eats. A local pizza shop, (with free delivery), is also found nearby, and there are a collection of local gift shops that are clustered around Island Road. New visitors will want to stop by Captain Henry’s Gift Store, as the expansive establishment is stocked with locally crafted decoys, regional art works, on-site artists at work, and a cool counter that resembles an authentic boat hull.

Comfortable and Relaxing
Lookout Cottage is an absolute gem. Beautiful water views from every room The home is tastefully decorated and immaculate. It is fully loaded with all you could possibly need for your stay, No exaggeration. They have beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards available for the beach. They had a fishing pole that we used. Games and puzzles, books to enjoy on the deck. This truly felt like a home away from home, we were all very comfortable. It's just a short drive to downtown Beaufort for shops or dinner very easy to get around. We enjoyed the adorable Fish Hook Grill just down the road. I would also like to note there is a Dollar General just feet from the house that is very well stocked with nearly all you need. I am so happy we found this place Melissa is very responsive and helpful with any questions

Harkers Family trip 2023
Very nice house, good location. We enjoyed the area below the house in the evenings. Everything and more was there to use. access to the sound was very welcome, had a few sunset swims. We will rent again. I am not sure about property restrictions but a sound side deck would be a nice addition, helps with options to stay in the breezes and avoid the bugs, but would also open up for better views.
