Fishing Trip
Great locations for fishing Down East. Property was as expected. Very comfortable set up if you understand where you are. Furnished very nicely, but needed a few maintenance issues which I called the caretakers about and they said would be addressed. Outside power outlets not working so charging your boat had to be done by running extention cord inside. Table leg loose on main coffee table. TV wasn't working but they got that going day of call. Fair size hole/depression on right side of Drive that needs to be filled in. Stepped in that and tweaked my back, could honestly hurt someone if wrong person takes a fall. Honestly a great set up as a base camp for exploring the area. Bring plenty of drinking water, as noted a well stocked Dollar General just up the road. Had a great time with my daughter and the lodgings were very cozy!

Sea shell cottage Sea level
The house was pretty sufficient for me and my dog, the water pump did go out so I didn't have water for a bit. Be sure to pack bug spray, my ankles got lit up while taking the dog for a walk, but everything else was very relaxing and location to cedar Island beach which is awesome is great and a quick ferry ride from Harker's Island to Cape Look Out and the water front towns of Beaufort and Morehead City are a must. Also the new Restaurant Wild Wills Revenge is good

Nice comfortable little house
We had a nice one month stay at the Sealevel cottage. The house is comfortable and clean with the basic essentials for feeling right at home. Beds were comfortable and the area is quiet for peaceful sleep. The outside is nice, but due to the mosquitoes and no see-ums outdoor activity is fairly limited. The walk to the water is nice and just across the street. It’s not really water or beach you would want to get into, but fun for the dogs. There is a washing machine and dryer with laundry soap, which is a great benefit. Some things to consider: Sealevel is quite out of the way of most tourist attractions. Driving ranges from 1/ 2 hour to a few hours. The closest Walmart is in Morehead City which is about a half hour drive. The water is well water and not recommended for drinking. It’s fine for showering and clean up, but make sure you bring enough water for drinking with you. There is a Dollar General just down the road for the little things you need. Fire place and gas heaters are only available in winter months, but the AC works nicely for keeping the house cooler. The neighbors are friendly with a large off leash dog that likes to visit. Overall very nice and peaceful place in a quiet part of town. Communication was good with check ins to make sure we had everything we needed. Great place if you’re into fishing and boating.
