Second Stay Better Than The First
This was our second stay at this rental. Clean, appropriately decorated, extremely comfortable.Perfect base from which to make day trips to visit the shore at a number of different locations only accessible by ferry/boat. Also, close enough to the quaint town of Beaufort, NC where one could enjoy shopping, dining and/or just having a beer along the docks of this very nautical town.Hope to make this an annual vacation.

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

Great location and property
We had a great time at Harker's Island. It was quiet and relaxing, just what we were hoping for. This property has easy access to the Sound and a little beach at low tide. It's a short drive (1 mile?) to the end of the island to catch the ferry to Shackleford Banks and Cape Lookout. The trip to the tip of Cape Lookout is well worth the effort to get there.

Beautiful property, quaint and quiet island retreat. Lighthouse Lookout is a hidden gem on Harkers Island. The hosts Jamy and Marcia are so welcoming and accommodating; as well as the community of Harkers Island. A true home away from home!!

This property was the perfect base for enthusiastic shellers. Just minutes away from the ferry that takes one to Shackleford Banks and/or Cape Lookout. Beautiful sunsets on the sound and extremely relaxing!

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.

Perfection on the Island
This house is exceptional!! Very clean, cozy and great location. We felt at home and very safe there. The owners are close by and are so friendly and kind. Views are beautiful from the living room, porch, swing, hammock or by the water. Cape Lookout lighthouse can be seen from inside the house or the dock. Highly recommended!

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 😊

Perfect vacation in a beautiful home!
This was the first time we had ever rented a vacation home on the coast, and now we are already planning our return trip! This home is beautifully decorated in peaceful shades of blue, green, and cream, and after a day of ferry rides, shelling, wild horses, and a lighthouse, it is a welcome place to relax and rest for the next day. The owners are so helpful and will answer questions quickly. We are 67 and 72, and were a little worried about the number of stairs, but we had no trouble with them. There is a pleasant balcony for catching the sea breeze. The beds are SO comfortable, and so are the recliners in the living room. I can't think of a better place to stay, and we fell in love with Harkers Island (especially with all the anchors)! Next year we are going to try and stay again, and invite our daughter to join us.

Peaceful home with gorgeous views!
Wow!! This is our best experience with a vacation rental ever!! The hosts were extremely communicative and left plenty of information about area restaurants & sights to see. The home itself was beautifully decorated & comfortable. We did not want for anything! Exactly as advertised! A well stocked kitchen was definitely a plus. Comfortable bedding & furniture made for a relaxing stay for my long birthday weekend. Not to go unmentioned we’re the beautiful views from the home, out almost every window & off the rear deck. My husband & I had a fantastic trip & wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, in fact we’ve recommended it to a few folks already! Thanks again!
