About this property

⛵️Coastal Cottage in Waterfront Neighborhood

This coastal cottage located in beautiful Cape Carteret sits in a quaint waterfront neighborhood just a short distance to Emerald Isle beaches, local dining and entertainment. Bring your boat, jet skis, bikes or golf cart—there’s plenty of room in the driveway!

Many modern amenities are offered, including:

-Paved parking
-Large porch with built-in furniture and grill
-Washer and Dryer
-Newly renovated kitchen, fully stocked with cookware
-Dishwasher
-High speed Wi-Fi
-AppleTVs with YouTubeTV, Hulu, Netflix and AppleTV+


This two bedroom, one and a half* bathroom house has been renovated over the past few years with major upgrades to the kitchen in 2020. There is a large porch and yard for entertaining, and a large driveway to accommodate multiple vehicles as well as trailers, boats and jet skis!

The kitchen is fully stocked with quality stainless and nonstick cookware, spices and all the basics. When you’re done cooking, enjoy the ease of using the dishwasher! A front load washer and dryer are available for use as well. Detergent and dryer sheets are included!

The master bedroom offers a queen bed, new in 2021, and plenty of closet space. The loft-style bedroom upstairs has two memory foam full beds, new in 2021. There are both gel and gusseted pillows available, so pick whichever you prefer!

The full bath downstairs has a tile shower with a divine rain shower head. A quality soap and shampoo will be provided.

*The ceiling in the half bath upstairs follows the pitch of the roof and therefore the headroom is limited. It’s perfect for kids, but an adult male may find it a little bothersome.




I have a virtual guidebook that can be viewed on your smartphone, tablet or laptop that contains my personal recommendations for the area, house rules, check-in procedures and anything else you could ever dream to know about the house, neighborhood and surrounding area! I will send this to you once a booking is confirmed so you can begin planning your stay!

This coastal cottage is in Bayshore Park, Cape Carteret, which is a waterfront neighborhood with beautiful views of Bogue Sound, the ICW and Emerald Isle! The neighborhood has four waterfront parks for water access (kayak launch, fishing etc.) including a small pier that can be used for crabbing or fishing! All four parks are a very short walk from the house.

Swansboro and Emerald Isle are both less than 10 minutes away, and Morehead City is only 20 minutes up highway 24. There are several boat ramps, water accesses and nature tails close by.

Cape Carteret, Swansboro and Emerald Isle each have a large selection of renowned restaurants of all price points, and I would be glad to offer recommendations based on your specific taste.

Golfin’ Dolphin and Mac Daddy’s offer mini golf, bowling, go-carts, a driving range, arcade games and even a high ropes course right here in town!

Bring your boat! The house is located just a short distance from several boat ramps including Broad Creek, Cedar Point, Emerald Isle and Shell rock Landing...it just depends on where you’re wanting to fish! (I am a professional mariner by trade, so I’d be glad to give you any pointers about getting around on the water and maybe even a few fishing tips!)




***Hurricane Season disclaimer: In the event a named storm is forecasted to impact the area, and a mandatory evacuation is issued by the local or state government, you will be required to leave the house. Hurricane shutters will be put up, and the house will not be accessible until after the storm passes. Of course, a refund of the days you left early will be gladly issued.***

Visiting friends a few streets over
Really enjoyed our stay. Property was very clean which is a big one for us. The cottage was very well equipped with extras if you forgot. There were a few very minor things that I did let Andrew know about but this did not affect our stay. Andrew is a great host & super easy to communicate with. Outside deck & grill great for what we needed & beds were comfortable. We will stay here again 100% next time we visit our friends in the neighborhood. Close to the beach by car. Mind you we stayed off season so the traffic was not too mad. We did drive North about 20-20 mins for a visit to Fort Macon that we all enjoyed! Beaches are great!

The house was beautiful just right for one person or for a family. Andrew went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. The house was well equipped all you need to bring is your toothbrush. I can’t wait to rent from him again.

1st VRBO experience
We are Marriott vacation club owners, this is our 1st VRBO experience and not our last. The cottage is just like the pictures and Andrew is a very attentive host. We appreciated the updated cottage with the coastal feel. He has great amenities and was surprised to see all the conveniences of home. This location is close to fishing and a few great towns we enjoyed visiting.

Well maintained cottage in quite peaceful neighborhood
The home is beautiful and modern. It was very clean and comfortable. We immediately felt right at home. The neighborhood was friendly and peaceful. We were able to enjoy kayaking and fishing multiple times with easy access to the water. The host was very thorough in his communication and his recommendations were excellent. The beds were comfortable and everything worked as it should. Our sons enjoyed having their own space in the loft upstairs. We would recommend this place and would stay here again.

Cutest little house ever! Great experience!
This was actually our first time ever doing VRBO. We were so impressed and happy with the house, and the owner/communication. The house was absolutely adorable and perfect. There not a thing missing that we wanted/needed, it was very clean, the bed was super comfy, and the space was great. Everything was smooth and easy from start to finish. We're pretty particular people, but our expectations were exceeded, and the entire experience was perfect. Thank you so much, Andrew!

We had a short weekend stay to come see the Cherry Point Airshow. The house was very clean and in a very quiet residential area. The interior was also very nice. We enjoyed our short stay here and would definitely recommend this to others.

It was a wonderful getaway and I would highly recommend. The pictures online don’t do the house justice. The loft is roomier than expected. We highly enjoyed our stay. If you are a very clean people and enjoy lots of information before your arrival Andrew is your best bet. Such a relaxing time.

Emerald Isle Vacaton.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cape Carteret! Andrew was such a gracious host and his online guidebook was very detailed, which came in handy. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and was very clean and so tastefully decorated. We loved the nautical theme! In addition to the beach, which is a short drive from Cape Carteret, there were so many things to do in the area. Will definitely visit again!

Second Stay!
This was our second time staying at this property. The home is quiet, the neighborhood and neighbors are friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed fishing down at the dock every day, and daily beach time by 10 min car ride. The home itself is beyond cozy, well thought out and clean. Andrew was a great host, making you feel at home. Highly recommend!!

I am a full time merchant mariner sailing mostly along the eastern seaboard. You’ll notice plenty of nautical decor and a bookshelf full of books about ships and the ocean. I’m excited to be sharing my home with vacationers while I am at sea!

Why they chose this property

Carteret County is the only place I’d ever want to call home. I consider myself very lucky to live on the Crystal Coast, and I hope you will enjoy the area and home as much as I do!
