We are sorry for the issues, we had a guest prior to your stay and a guest has been there all this week with no issues. Not sure what happened, but we do apologize.

This was my first ever Vrbo rental and it did not disappoint. The house and location was the perfect getaway with my two children. If you prefer a small vacation town over the hustle and bustle of a typical shore town or resort, then I highly recommend Harkers Island. The host, Greg and Shelby, were great and made the cottage feel like my own. Any question I had was answered within minutes. Again, this was the perfect house and destination for my one week get-away

Good home base for exploring

Simple, comfortable accommodation that's a great base for exploring the area. Ferries to Shackleford Banks and Cape Lookout are a short drive... Little further to Atlantic Beach or Morehead City areas. Great spot!

Great little cottage for me and my husband and our doodles.

It’s so hard to find pet friendly properties but this one was perfect. Beautiful little cottage and walking distance to the water. Great location. Right in the middle of everything on the island. Our host was very accommodating. The cottage was furnished with everything we needed. We had a great trip.

Great getaway on Harkers Island

Bungalow was spotless and spacious and decorated so beautifully with nautical theme throughout. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need even a margarita machine! Bathroom is small but has a deep bathtub that was so nice to soak in, wonderful shower head, water pressure is good & plenty of hot water. Back yard is good sized for my dog and back deck is nice

Perfect Weekend

This is the second time we have stayed in the perfect island bungalow. It’s is so well appointed, extremely clean, beds are very comfortable, shower is great, and decorated so cute! The owners are super nice and communicate well. They even allowed us to check in early and check out late on our last day! This made the weekend perfect as we didn’t need to plan activities around check in time or check out time. We highly recommend this vacation rental the next time you plan to visit Harker’s Island.

The property has really nice boat parking which is always a problem for us normally. It was a good price for the location and the owner took care to put things like coffee and some small touches that were appreciated. The location was perfect for us as boaters. It’s not a huge house but everything worked just fine and we had no problems. We really appreciated the easy of both early check in and the check out was very easy because they have a cleaning service come behind you. We would stay here again.
