About this house rental
Cozy newly renovated cottage in quaint historic fishing village of Atlantic, within walking distance of great views of Core Sound. This charming 3 bedroom, 1 bath bungalow with a screened-in porch, is the perfect getaway for a quiet vacation. Located in the original Down East area of Carteret County, just 12 miles to the Cedar Island/Ocracoke Ferry and a public beach, 29 miles to the Harkers Island Waterfowl Museum, 31 miles from Historical Beaufort, and 3 miles by boat to the Outer Banks and Cape Lookout National Seashore.
Many day trips available to Atlantic Beach and other destinations. Local fishing charters and hunting guides available. It is just minutes from the harbor, boat docking, and boat ramp.
Discover an unspoiled paradise, leave the crowds behind, and relax in a beautiful natural setting in this bungalow. Nestled on three-quarters of an acre in coastal North Carolina, this 1100-square-foot home offers the perfect getaway for outdoor enthusiasts. Bring your boats for days spent fishing or travel to the scenic uninhabited beaches! For a day trip, head 45 minutes to historic Beaufort or 50 minutes to Morehead City.

Although we experienced an unexpected water pump failure during our stay, the owners were incredibly kind, understanding, and responsive throughout the situation. They truly cared about making things right and generously honored us with another weekend stay. We sincerely appreciate their kindness and commitment to their guests and would happily stay here again.

Was duck hunting out of Atlantic. House slept 4 and had all necessary amenities.... except salt (salt, salt wheres the darn salt :) ). Host and hostess were great! Guides boat was 5 minutes away for early start
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
Charming , spacious cottage but disappointed because only the fan was turned on and it was 90 degrees outside . I turned ac on to find it wasn't working. There was an old musty, moldy odor the entire stay. Being highly allergic to mold , this only made me sick. Trip interruption insurance did not cover the mechanical failure and host did not refund 1st night stay since ac could not be repaired until the next day. There was a nice screened porch outback and a few blocks away you could walk and watch the sunset at an old marina.
