About this property

Family-Friendly Private Waterfront Getaway!

3 Bedroom, One Bath Waterfront Home On Nelson Bay (Core Sound)
This sound-front home is perfect for the family who enjoys water activities such as swimming, fishing, kayaking, sailing, windsurfing or just relaxing while enjoying the spectacular waterfront view. The sound is shallow and kid-friendly and an ideal site for learning to swim and frolic in the water. For a couple, it's ideal for a peaceful, private get-away.

Private sandy beach, shallow water dock suitable for smaller boat, excellent fishing and crabbing right off the dock. Crab pots provided no license needed in NC for a crab pot tied to your private dock.

There is a nearby boat launch. Unspoiled beaches can be reached by a boat ride across Core Sound or by car on Cedar Island, 8 miles away. Ferry's are available in Atlantic or Cedar Island for day trips to local beaches as well as Okracoke Island (a fun day trip-take bikes).

Outstanding cuisine can be enjoyed 30 miles away in historic Beaufort.

Outdoor adventure

We recently stayed at Windswept! We had a wonderful time! The views are absolutely gorgeous. We all enjoyed fishing at the end of the dock. We brought our 14 ft boat and ventured over to Core Banks one day and found a bunch of conch shells. I also enjoyed walking the beach front every morning at the end of the board walk. We are looking forward to staying again soon!

Wonderful beach getaway

We enjoyed our stay very much. Very relaxing. Having the beach to walk on was so peaceful. Fishing and crabbing off the dock was so great and convenient! Loved the house, retained its original old beach house charm which we love! Would definitely return. Thank you for sharing your beach home with us.
