Nestled under the sweeping canopy of a magnificent, century-old live oak tree, this is more than just a rental—it's an experience. ​About the Space ​We are excited to share that the cottage has been freshly painted inside and out and lovingly decorated! Step into a light, airy space featuring a charming fish and beach-themed decor that perfectly captures the spirit of the Crystal Coast. ​Bedrooms: 3 spacious, comfortable bedrooms. with QUEEN beds in each room. ​Bathrooms: 2 clean, well-appointed bathrooms. History/Construction: The home was originally built in 1910 using heavy timbers in the attic from a shipwreck! How cool is that! In fact it was later noted by a historian to be the wreck of a "Rum Runner" that had run aground and the locals made good use of the wreckage. The house has beadboard wall and ceiling coverings and pine tongue & groove floors. Although, she's in fantastic shape for her age, she has battle scars and imperfections and we wouldn't want it any other way! You can expect cleanliness and character like no other house on the island! ​Views: Enjoy fantastic water views of the sound from 3 different decks, perfect for watching the sunset or the local fishermen go by. ​Unique Feature: The incredible, ancient live oak certified over 120 years old, provides a stunning backdrop and a cool, shaded spot for afternoon or evening relaxing. There are 4 other live oaks and 2 mature cedar trees as well. ​Guest Access & Amenities ​Guests have private access to the entire cottage and the expansive yard and deck, including a perfect little spot beneath the oak tree. The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing fresh seafood dinners, and comfortable outdoor seating is provided to take advantage of the views. Two central air units will keep you comfortable no matter the season. ​The Neighborhood: Harkers Island, NC ​Harkers Island is a gem, known for its boat-building heritage, friendly community, and unparalleled access to the Cape Lookout National Seashore. The island is laid back which is perfect! Drive to the hustle and bustle of Atlantic beach, Morehead City and Beaufort, then return to this wonder escape to wind down and relax. You'll find Shrimp boats as you come onto the island on your starboard side. Bring a shrimp cooler with you as you might get lucky enough to buy fresh shrimp right off the boat! ​Cape Lookout: A short ferry ride away, you can explore the famous lighthouse and pristine barrier island beaches included Shackleford Banks and Rachel Carsons Reserve where the wild ponies roam and shelling are unparalleled. ​Local Culture: Explore the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center. ​Boating & Fishing: This is the ideal launch point for fishing trips or exploring the local waterways. Dining: The Sea Side Galley serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and The Fish Hook Grill offers fresh seafood and a fully stocked bar. ​Other Things to Note ​We are committed to providing a clean and comfortable stay.
