Close to sailing, windsurfing, and more, this family-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 14-minute drive to Barneville Beach or the 18-minute drive to Carteret Lighthouse (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax in the garden (enjoy the outdoor furniture!) or sip a drink on the deck or patio of this 926-sq-ft vacation home. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

This 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental features a dining area and a BBQ grill. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a lobster pot. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
