Great Stay!

Loved the property. 4 of us stayed at the house and did a mix of golf in the area, Minnesot Beach CC has great golf, and we fished from the pier in the property with good success. House had everything we needed and lived the area. Many thanks to the host for their communication and attention to detail. Would definitely go back.

Love

This property was such an awesome place for our week long vacation. Beautiful house and dock with so many dolphins and other interesting things swimming by. We loved the location and the ferry into the tourist areas. We used the crab traps and fished off the dock daily. The provided kayaks were also a huge plus. Terry is also the very best host EVER.

Sweet little home surrounded by nature

I love staying here and waking up to the sunrise! Observing the morning light on the water without getting out of bed is great!! The ferry is down the street and gets you to Beaufort and Morehead City. You can sail in Oriental, and drive to New Bern to shop and sightsee. We did all those fun things as well as just enjoying the views of nature from our rental.

Perfect in every way…except one minor thing…could use a slightly larger shower. But then again, it might lessen the cottage’s charm & that certainly wouldn’t do it justice. Loved our time here.

Location was great!

Terry the owner made everything easy and comfortable. The location was perfect. We visited Bath, Washington, Oriental and Emerald Isle. We sat on the dock and watched about 8-10 dolphin swim by one day, then saw a few the next day. We watched the sail boats and fighter jets fly over. The house is very cottage like. Everything we needed was at our disposal! We napped on the sleeping porch. It was a much needed R&R vacation.

Wonderful Family Vacation

We stayed at this wonderful cottage for only two nights, wish we could have stayed longer. My three boys loved catching countless blue crap from the dock and the rocks, fishing, jumping off the dock and swimming with the passing dolphins. What an amazing, quiet and relaxing place. Hope to return sometime in the future. Owner was wonderful to work with.

Lovely Riverview getaway!!

Journey's End was a great escape from our "masked" world. The cottage was great well equipped from kitchen to dock to water..... Absolutely beautiful setting on the Neuse River--Terry the owner is correct just sit and watch the magic on the river... She forgot to mention the lovely view of the moon and stars at night...... Thanks Terry for sharing your little slice of heaven on the Neuse!!

Another perfect stay at Terry’s place

This is our third stay at Terry’s beautiful cottage. This comfortable, clean, well-equipped house on the river has been a perfect spot for our family (and friends who rented Terry’s cottage next door) to relax, unwind and refresh. Great seafood market in Oriental and the ferry for Beaufort is nearby. We walked down the street to the country club and purchased day passes to the pool one afternoon and that was fun. Kayays and bikes are also provided. Nothing but kudos for Terry’s cottage!

life on the water

Beautiful property! An older home, but beautifully maintained and restored. Everything you need is there. My girls loved the outdoor shower and thought showering "au naturel" was fantastic! The views from the porch are amazing. Open the windows and let the river in!!!! Come and stay. Sit back and relax. Let the river speak to you!

Everything included

This home was very accommodating. It had all the supplies needed. It was not the owners fault that we could not swim in the river due to the jellyfish. Our only recommendation was to have a different type of sun shade for For the deck to be able to sit out there longer during the day . She had everything That you can think of you might need for your stay from a paperclip to extra blankets to cooking utensils, trays, you name it she had it. The only negative thing was that the owner prefers you not to use the washer and dryer

A+++

Nicely appointed, clean cottage overlooking the Neuse River in a quiet neighborhood. The owner provided bikes and kayaks which we enjoyed during our stay. The location is perfect for day trips to beaches, quaint friendly small coastal towns, and Croatan National Forest. The cottage’s back porch provides an excellent view of the river where you can spot many different bird species, as well as porpoises, and otters. The back porch is also a great place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee or have a nice afternoon nap. The owner of the cottage is very accommodating, check-in and parking easy. We felt revitalized after our stay and appreciate all the things the owner has done to make this charming cottage so inviting and relaxing. A+++

RELAX!

Sit on the pier, drink your cup of coffee and watch the sun coming up while swifts dart under and over the pier, or sip your glass of wine feeling the breezes waft over your face, listening to the waves lapping as you watch the sun set. Journey's End was the best choice for us and our grandchildren to sit back and enjoy the very best of nature with majestic birds flying overhead. The cottage? Step back into the history of this former fishing shack that belonged to Terry's family (And yes, there's still good fishing and crabbing even off the pier at Journey's End!) and that has been updated to be so very comfortable. Terry was communicative and is an excellent host anticipating one's every request. My wife and I have been to Journey's End several times and look forward to our next visit (with or without the grands!).

A perfect spot to rest and recharge!!!

My husband and I visited Journey's End to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. I needed a place to unwind and take time to just "BE". This was exactly what I needed and had been looking for. The home is lovely. Terry has it well maintained and well stocked with everything one would need to have a "home" "away from home". The Neuse River provided a panoramic setting for watching dolphins and stunning sunsets. In talking with the owner over the phone while making my plans, I felt like I had known her my whole life. She has a beautiful eye for decor and her love of art is evident throughout the home. If you need a family friendly home and/or a place to unwind you will definitely find it at Journey's End. Forgot to mention the BEACH after the Ferry ride at Minessott Beach is less than 45 minutes away and was wonderful!!!

More One Indoor House Bathroom Disclosure Is Needed Prior to Booking

The property provides access to the Neuse River from the backyard with a dock to kayak and fish. More upfront details should be provided related to one bathroom in the house and a shower outside in the yard before booking. The listing stated two bathrooms. Also, the house's bathroom has to be accessed by either walking through the connected bedroom or going through the enclosed front porch. The enclosed front porch is not heated and has windows facing the street. My family member who slept in another room was not comfortable utilizing the front porch at night or early in the morning to use the house bathroom. I would not have booked this location if I had known the details of the house bathroom.

When we arrived at Journeys End….it was just the beginning!

Our arrival to the cabin was so easy even if it was dark and unfamiliar. As we approached the door we were greeted by the most aromatic flowers lining the entrance. Once inside, it was delightful! A real cabin feel. We enjoyed the back porch after in packing. It’s so quiet…we could hear the waves hitting the dock and we watched the fire flies dance on the plants along the property’s edge as a hill with stairs leads to the dock. We met the friendly neighbors on the street in the morning all eager to share information about their neighborhood. It rained the next evening. The raindrops played wonderful music on the metal roof. After a busy day and rides on the ferry it was a perfect end to our day. The ferry is literally just down the street. So easy access to other spots along the ocean is very acccessible. The places on the other side were nice but, no comparison to the quaint little cabin and neighborhood in Minnesott Beach. A pure delight! If you are reading this I urge you to stay at Journeys End it’s adorable and peaceful the perfect getaway!

The Journey IS the Destination

Lovely well-appointed cottage provided a sweet spot of serenity and possibilities. Furnishings are lovely and comfortable for those lazy afternoons or settling in after a day of outdoor adventure. There is a wide variety of activities on site: bicycling about the neighborhood, swimming, kayaking, fishing and crabbing, as well as reclining, napping, and nature- and boat-watching. The cottage is close to historical and/or nautical sights and activities, and the (free!) ferry to get there if needed - google maps includes it in the route. The artists at the Village Gallery due east in Oriental are varied, talented, and prolific. There is much to see (and touch!) there with artists in-house, conveniently next to a coffee shop. My favorite things: rain on the metal roof, sunrises and sunsets out on the dock with fish jumping, cool breezes, and a welcoming 'home' to return to when we sought out adventures to the beach or sea-facing communities nearby. The favorite things of the teenagers with me: hammock, proximity to shenanigans and escapades, and flawless Wi-Fi (of course). I cannot say enough about the host and the neighbors if there are questions about anything: there is so much love and knowledge about the area. The provided Alexa was no match for that - it was only good for weather and random noises. We can't wait to plan our next getaway!

Sheer bliss!

Terry, we walked into Journeys's End and were speechless! Your online photos are lovely, but do not do the home justice. The view is spectacular, but the home itself was immaculate. Not to mention simply charming. You have a gift for color and decor, we did not want to leave. Your coastal living decor is so in tune with the location. I could have sat out on your sleeping porch all day and watched the action on the river. My husband had such a grand time fishing off the dock, then cooking up the catch on the griil. The grounds were impeccable, with blooming azaleas and camilias. The outdoor shower is amazing! How refreshing and fun! We ate in most of the time, mainly because your kitchen is so well equipped! The beds were so comfortable, I haven't slept this well for years! I love to walk, and your neighborhood provides beautiful homes, fun birdwatching, inviting scenery with the river always in view, and friendly locals. Mostly, it was just so relaxing and exactly what we hoped for. It makes sense why you share your creative skilks during the summer with children and teach them your special brand of art .. There are innovative and creative touches everywhere, Can't wait to come back... Thank you, Terry, for anticipating the comfort of your guests and providing all that a relaxing vacation requires.
