2 Blocks to Crystal Coast: Family-friendly Retreat

Located in Harkers Island, this welcoming cottage lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 2-minute drive to Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center or the 13-minute drive to Down East Public Library (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Once you get back, you can enjoy your surroundings with the patio and BBQ grill. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

Air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and a desk are featured at this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
