What a beautiful place to relax for a few days. Awesome views!! Felt like being at home!! Thank you for the opportunity to experience such a lovely place once again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Harker’s Island. The cottage was lovely, and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The hospitality was outstanding, and there were plenty of good restaurants near. Can’t wait to go again soon!
Very nice property with great owners! It's not right on the bay, but you can easily see it from the back porch, and there is a sitting area by the water only about 150 feet away!

Perfect stay
The house was super comfy and clean. We enjoyed our stay. The ocean view was just out of this world!
The location was great, steps from the water. The house was very clean and the views from the house were exceptional. Our girls loved looking for seashells in the water every morning. We got to meet the owners and they were very sweet. We would definitely stay here again. Be sure the take the ferry to cape lookout and shackleford banks and the Seaside galley has wonderful food at great prices!
The property description was very accurate. The home was very comfortable and perfectly located. The owners could not have been nicer. Would highly recommend the house to anyone staying on Harkers Island.
This was the perfectly cozy home away from home! The home itself is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and has gorgeous views of the ocean and sunsets…and dolphins!! The owners were wonderful hosts and so attentive to us during our stay there. The location is great, easy access to the ferry to the lighthouse and the island with the wild horses. But also easy access to town and more restaurants and dinner cruises to keep you entertained. I’ll definitely be going back again.
Our hosts were responsive and friendly. The house is beautifully appointed and access easy once we figured out the "back" door faces the street, not the water. Great seafood at both Island restaurants, and a small marina with a very helpful manager allowed us to make full use of our boat while there. Highly recommend!
We absolutely love staying in this beautiful home with stunning views of the sound!!! The home is beautifully decorated, clean and well furnished. We enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the ducks fly over while sipping our coffee. We came in on Thursday for the Core Sound & Waterfowl Museum festival. We had a blast!!! We met the sweetest people who grew up on Harkers Island and it was fun listening to their stories. The whole experience from Friday until Sunday was like a Hallmark movie!!!We look forward to coming back and bringing our children and grandchildren. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Beautiful place to celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary. We loved fishing, visiting the waterfowl museum, riding the ferry and seeing the wild horses. TAwesome host. Will definitely be back.
This was a beautiful home right on the waterfront with wonderful views of the neighboring islands. We started and ended our days on the porch overlooking the water.

Beautiful experience!
This is the second time we have stayed here, and we will keep coming back! Our hosts were easy to communicate with and the house is just perfect. There is so much to see and do in the area, but it was also great every day to come back and just chill on the porch or down at the water's edge watching the sunset. And I need to mention how comfy the beds are! We will definitely try to come back again.
This property was the perfect base for enthusiastic shellers. Just minutes away from the ferry that takes one to Shackleford Banks and/or Cape Lookout.
Beautiful sunsets on the sound and extremely relaxing!
Beautiful property, quaint and quiet island retreat. Lighthouse Lookout is a hidden gem on Harkers Island. The hosts Jamy and Marcia are so welcoming and accommodating; as well as the community of Harkers Island. A true home away from home!!
We had a great time at Harker's Island. It was quiet and relaxing, just what we were hoping for. This property has easy access to the Sound and a little beach at low tide. It's a short drive (1 mile?) to the end of the island to catch the ferry to Shackleford Banks and Cape Lookout. The trip to the tip of Cape Lookout is well worth the effort to get there.
