Very nice property with great owners! It's not right on the bay, but you can easily see it from the back porch, and there is a sitting area by the water only about 150 feet away!

Great lodging on Harkers Island

Our hosts were responsive and friendly. The house is beautifully appointed and access easy once we figured out the "back" door faces the street, not the water. Great seafood at both Island restaurants, and a small marina with a very helpful manager allowed us to make full use of our boat while there. Highly recommend!

Much Needed R & R

The house and location were exactly as stated and pictured. My husband and I, along with another couple celebrated our 25th Anniversary here at Harkers Island. We met the owners, Jamy and Marcia, extremely friendly and helpful with information. We spent a lot of time outdoors, down by the ocean or on the back porch. We all hated to leave but now have the energy to begin our next 25 years together!

Beautiful experience!

This is the second time we have stayed here, and we will keep coming back! Our hosts were easy to communicate with and the house is just perfect. There is so much to see and do in the area, but it was also great every day to come back and just chill on the porch or down at the water's edge watching the sunset. And I need to mention how comfy the beds are! We will definitely try to come back again.

Just Right

The property is well appointed and beautiful. Clean, comfy beds and everything we could need at home. It is a few steps to a peaceful amazing waterfront area where we were able to wade and explore an area full of life. We saw a ray, a sea cucumber, many hermit crabs and cool shells. The sky, sunsets and stars were amazing. We very much enjoyed our stay.We enjoyed bike riding, taking the ferry over to Cape Lookout Lighthouse and the Core Island Waterfowl Museum.

Lovely Home and very clean

Great home for price. Clean, with lots of space. As with most coastal homes, home with several stairs, so be aware if you have mobility issues. We are no spring chickens and had no problems with stairs. Owners super nice and left us a special sea shell gift which was so sweet. Owners on adjoining property but respect privacy & don’t even realize they are there. 5 stars would stay again

This was a beautiful home right on the waterfront with wonderful views of the neighboring islands. We started and ended our days on the porch overlooking the water.

Little piece of paradise

We found Harkers Island a few years back. We have stayed at other rentals on the island and by far this one was our favorite. The owners live next door which means the place is well taken care of. The view of the water is spectacular. I’m already working on scheduling my next vacation. I would highly recommend the owners and the property, just save me some dates.

Peaceful and relaxing.

Beautiful and comfortable home with amazing views. We spent a lot of time on the balcony watching the sound and enjoying the breeze. The home had everything you needed to cook your meals and the furniture and beds were very comfortable and in great condition. The decor was lovely and we loved the peacefulness of the island as it was a great place to relax. We highly recommend and would definitely come back again.

Wonderful Getaway!

What a beautiful place to spend quality time with family! This listing was even better than we expected. We had never been to Harkers Island and it definitely lived up to its reputation. From hanging out by the water, shelling, fishing off Cape Lookout and just relaxing in this gorgeous home, we had the best time! The hosts were absolutely amazing and very responsive to all of our needs. We highly recommend!

Everything we were looking for !

First time at harkers island and it was wonderful. Location is perfect if you want to adventure out to other areas it really is a prime location. The house itself , immaculate. House was well stocked w items people may forget at home which is super convenient and gracious, views are unbeatable. I will note the stairs are harder for those with a little age, we underestimated them by the photos in the listing , which is to no fault of the owner just something for certain folks to keep in mind. The owner of the house is very hospitable as well esp towards the little ones!

Beautiful and Peaceful

The pictures of this home doesn't do it justice. This home felt so warm and inviting, the beds were very comfortable and the island of harkers is a slice of heaven. The owners were very nice and communicated via text which I greatly appreciate. They texted me to make sure we were ok and to see if we needed anything. The sunrises and sunset were magnificent. The owners also added some really nice personalized touches for are stay which the kids really liked. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing getaway 😊
