About this property

Cabin in the woods on the water hidden away at the beach

This unit can be your truly relaxing getaway. Enjoy your morning coffee watching sunrises over the Croatan Sound and relax in the evening watching the sun go down from the private dock or the screened in porch.

A true sportsman’s paradise, the cabin is great for hunting, fishing and water sports of all kinds. You can launch your boat or jet ski at 2 nearby boat ramps, one at the foot of the Umstead Bridge in Mann's Harbor, the other on Mashoes Road. Both will get you to a private dock in 15 minutes, or launch your canoe or kayak right from the house. The bottom is sandy around the dock and beach area so kids will love the swimming or just crabbing to catch the night’s dinner.

Just minutes away from Historic Roanoke Island to the east, where you can enjoy the NC Aquarium, The Lost Colony, Island Farm, The Elizabeth II Historic Site, Civil War sites, Art Galleries and The Christmas Shop, just to mention a few of the best local attractions. To the west wildlife abounds on the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, where you can enjoy kayak tours and miles of nature trails.

5 star dining, in addition to regular fast food and grocery chains are just minutes away. Outlet shopping as well as locally owned unique shops can be found throughout the county. Visit the historic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse or take a drive to Corolla to see the wild horses.

It is all at your fingertips from the rustic charm of this cabin in the woods.

DISGUSTING. By far not up to the standards of a VRBO property. DO NOT COOK WITH/DRINK THE WATER.
Upon arriving the key lock box is not secure. All you have to do is press the reset/open button and it opens without a code. There were dirty utensils and lots of trash in the yard, cigarette butts in cups throughout the property, and there is a large puddle of sewage against the house where there is an open pipe from the bathroom toilet that drips part of the flush every time you flush the toilet. The smell is awful. There was used coffee grounds in the coffee pot and the pot not cleaned. The toaster had food scraps burnt to it, the microwave had nasty melted cheese and such stuck to the inside and door, the fridge has old nasty liquid stains on the shelves/door, the floor under the trash can platform has food and sticky spoons and such that must have been there for months. The tables were not wiped off, vacuuming was not done, dust on most surfaces. We have no issue with the older furniture and understand it is a cabin in the woods. It needs cleaned between guests. We contacted the "host" with a very minimal reply or concern. One smoke detector has no battery in it, the other does not work with a battery in it. The grill on the porch is disgusting with old food cooked into it, the two older grills were just pitched behind the house to rust once they were no good. There is an open pipe about 10 inches wide going down into the septic tank with just a loose little wooden cover barely large enough to cover it. SO MUCH MORE but not enough space remaining. I have LOTS of pics.

The views 😍
We had a wonderful week here and already booked again. If you have multiple pups, and love nature, this is the spot!

Quiet and peaceful
Our stay was great. Darell was quick to respond when we had an issue. The property is described well in the listing and provided our family and dogs with a comfortable base while exploring the area. The screened-in porch, dock, and beach area provided some great fishing, swimming, and dolphin watching.

Great Vacation Spot
This place is the ideal spot if you want to cut everything off and just enjoy the views, get out on the water and do some fishing and exploring of the alligator river preserve. Owner was very receptive and gave us the history of the place. We will definitely be back. The description is 100% accurate.

Nice Secluded Place But Needs work!
My Wife and I are not picky and made the most of our stay. I rented this place for the privacy and quietness. It is definitely both of those. One morning I watched the sunrise over a perfectly still water and it was amazing. No noise at all! We live in city and getting away from the traffic noise was great. The remainder of the time the weather just wouldn't cooperate, so we headed home early. Owner was somewhat responsive to my messages. I was very disappointed that the dock is mostly gone. House needs a lot of maintenance, and basic amenities added. Can't say we'd rent this one again. However, had the weather been good we would have stayed the full week and made the most of it.
