We loved the location and interior of this home. It was so relaxing and cozy!

What a cute cozy cottage. Very well maintained and everything you need for a couple to stay. Great communication and all very well explained.
The ONLY negative is… you need to know that in colder weather your only heat is space heaters. Since you don’t want to run them when you’re gone or sleeping 😴 it does keep it cool. Not so good when you have metal hardware in your back like me.
If heat isn’t a concern I would highly recommend a stay.

Spent 3 nights here. Comfortable bed and pillows. Had just what I needed. Did not cook but used stovetop to boil water. Worked great. Cottage is clean, cozy, and a very easy place to stay. Wifi good enough to do some work while there with not issues.
Easy location to things I wanted to do. Had an absolutely fabulous dinner at Parrott's on 11th which is just down the street. Great coffee/salad/service at Mug Shot.

quiet neighborhood. I appreciate the communication I had with the property owner. Check in and check out were very simple. Street parking, had no issues finding a spot. Short walk to public water and a somewhat longer walk to another public water access with a dock to fish from. I plan to stay at this location again in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The cottage is clean, beautifully decorated, and cozy! It is very conveniently located within walking distance of the Morehead City waterfront and a public beach access on the sound. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was large. The hostess has thought of everything to make your stay perfect and she is very kind! We definitely plan to stay again!

It’s rare that a property exceeds my expectations, but that’s exactly how we felt about this precious cottage. It’s situated in the heart of the cutest neighborhood and we were able to walk to get coffee, pastries, and anything else we really needed. The waterfront is less than two blocks away, as well as beach access. The cottage itself was immaculate and stocked with everything that we needed for our long weekend. Can’t wait to come back to visit again!

The place was super cute and clean! Nicole, the owner was very responsive and helpful. She has a German Shepard puppy that was super cute and well-behaved - my friend and I would sit on the porch and play with her in the yard. If you are bothered by dogs just let Nicole know and she’ll keep her inside when you are coming and going. My friend slept in the bed and I was on the couch - it’s not a pull out but I found it plenty comfy.
There’s a public ocean access about 3 blocks away and a market on the corner that’s open during the summer. Would definitely stay here again!

Very cozy and cute property in a walkable neighborhood and close to various restaurants and shops. Perfect for a quiet getaway for yourself and/or a loved one. Every time I went looking for something and was worried it wasn't provided, it appeared with only minimal effort. The only caveat I can think of is that if you are vegan or on another restricted diet, the local restaurants may not be a good option....though, it may be possible to special order or omit certain ingredients. Fortunately, there's a refrigerator, stove, and utensils. So, it wasn't a problem. Thanks for a pleasant stay!
