READY TO EXPLORE
BEAUFORT
Make sure you plan a trip to Beaufort just a 20 minute drive off the island. Enjoy dinner at one of the many restaurants. Do a little shopping, buy some freshly made fudge and stroll along the dock of the inter-coastal water way. Look at the spectacular yachts anchored for the night. Make sure you visit the General Store for hand dipped ice cream. Better yet, book a boat tour and watch the horses run free on Shackleford Banks.

Atlantic Beach
The AB Town Park features a splash pad, large skatepark, 18-hole mini-golf course, half-court basketball court, picnic shelter, concession stand, & public restrooms. The park is free for use (mini-golf & concession stand items for a fee). The mini-golf course and concession stand are open on weekends only from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. with mini-golf costing only $6 per person (age 6 and under free!) – the best family-friendly rates on the island!

Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium
The Aquarium has four main galleries that take visitors through the Mountains to the Ocean of NC. Inside the aquarium, at the start of your tour is a 32-foot smoky mountain waterfall. There are over 430,000 total gallons of saltwater and freshwater combined in displays.The Aquarium is 93,000 square feet.The largest habitat holds 306,000 gallons of saltwater.There are two hiking trails at the aquarium, The Theodore Roosevelt Nature Area trail and the Alice Hoffman Nature Trail.

Cape Lookout
History comes alive at the Cape Lookout Lighthouse and Keeper’s Quarters built in the mid-1800’s to warn passing ships of the dangerous coastal waters. Standing at 163 feet tall, the 207- step “Diamond Lady” lighthouse was painted with a distinctive black and white diamond pattern in order to distinguish direction -- North and South from East and West -- and differentiate it from other North Carolina lighthouses. This Crystal Coast must-see is open to visitors to climb during the summer, May through September.

Shackleford Banks
For more than 400 years the wild horses of Shackleford Banks have taken care of their young, frolicked on pristine deserted beaches and foraged for food with not a saddle or fence in sight. Visitors make their way to the island by private boat or ferry running from Harkers Island, Beaufort and Morehead City – and the captains of Island Express Ferry Service are more than happy to dish most of their secrets to shelling during the ride.

We know you will enjoy your stay. Our guests come back year after year and leave us many wonderful stories of their vacation.

'At the beach, life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides and follow the sun.'

Great time with extended family

Such a great stay for an extended family trip! The property was excellent located right in front of the pool and beach front. Extremely kid friendly with kids activities, toys, games, chairs, pack in play, etc. The condo was clean, updated, and super comfortable with 4 adults and 4 kids under 9. The condo was equipped with all things needed in the kitchen and check out process was super easy. Thanks for a great trip!

Great location

The condo was in the perfect location. Close to everything but not in an extremely populated area. It was a big condo with a beautiful view and the property grounds were nice. My only two suggestions would be to consolidate/ remove some of the dishes so there’s cabinet space to store food and a few minor things could have been cleaned better. We really enjoyed our stay with Bonnie and plan on making this our annual family vacation spot!

Excellent condo in an amazing location

We love the Emerald Isle coast and usually stay with family when we visit the area. However this time we rented our own place and couldn’t have asked for anything better. The condo is very well appointed with everything we needed for a great week. The only drawback was the door code was not working so we needed to carry keys with us. That was a bit inconvenient with 4 adults coming and going and only 2 keys.

This was our second year staying here. The property and hosts are just exceptional! The private beach, pool, jacuzzi and much more are so amazing. The property itself lacks for nothing.

Perfect place

Location was fantastic, beach spots near the end of the condos meant it was less crowded, beautiful grounds to walk on both sides of the island, a few stores and places to eat nearby, plus short drives to mini golf, aquarium and either end of the island with grocery and souvenir shops. Communication was fantastic, owners provided a few recommendations and updates on food trucks during our stay, and the unit is so beautiful - clean with a wonderful view of the ocean!
