Water Lover's Retreat, quiet getaway for 2

Private, open floor plan cottage studio on the water. Wake to views of the White Oak River, fish, kayak and enjoy the sunrise and sunsets from the decks. Easy paddle to Jones, other Intracoastal islands and to Swansboro for lunch. A ~15 minute drive will take you to the Emerald Isle beaches or Swansboro to walk the historic district and visit the many shops and restaurants. Updates, more photos on IG and FB under "Water Lover's Retreat".

Perfect for individual(s) or couple who love to kayak, fish, paddle board, swim, golf or who simply want to relax and enjoy the water views, birds and dolphins. Well outfitted kitchen with multiple small appliances (Keurig, drip coffee maker, Ninja bullet, Soda Stream), updated bathroom, Samsung smart TV, LG combo washer-dryer combo, ceiling fans, heat pump, Green Egg grill. Originally a WWII army hut, renovated to include vaulted ceilings, loft with 2nd bed, living, dining area and reclaimed wood floors from local school house. Decorated in a somewhat whimsical, eclectic style. Follows Airbnb's 5 step enhanced cleaning-sanitization process.
