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!

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

Stunning views from very cute cottage in a laid back island paradise

My family just finished a 10 day getaway at this wonderful property on Harkers Island - we were so sad to leave! The island is situated in a perfect spot - close to many things like the Cape Lookout ferry, the Core Sound waterfowl museum and historic downtown Beaufort which has many restaurants and attractions - while being remote enough to experience the tranquility and splendor of an island getaway. There are grocery stores very close by for essentials whilst for greater selection the supermarkets in Beaufort are the closest and well stocked. Jamy and Marcia are wonderful hosts, very responsive and provided everything we needed to have a great vacation at their property. The cottage is almost brand new construction but feels very homey with lovely seaside decor and furnishings. All the appliances, including air conditioner (important this time of year!) are new and worked great. We loved sitting on the deck watching sunsets and shooting stars and highly recommend this Lighthouse Lookout island getaway!
