5 minutes from the beach! Water access with kayaks and launch from house!

This is a cozy and modern studio style guest house that is separate from the main house.

Located on a very peaceful loop road with nothing across the street except the still-water finger creek and kayak launch out into some of the best kayaking in the area.

We have kayaks, bikes, a softtop surfboard, a bodyboard, beach chairs, sandcastle set, lifejackets, and much more you are welcome to use at your own risk!

Our home also offers direct access to Cape Carteret’s new bike path, which loops around the entire town. Grab one of our bikes or hop on our fun and unique double-bench trolley bike — an unforgettable way for the whole family to cruise around town together! Explore nearby attractions just 1–2 miles away, including Mac Daddy’s Amusement Center, a full-service gym, parks, restaurants, and more.

The coffee table top lifts up into a desk and also unfolds into a 6 person table for dining or games.

The couch cushion flips over from the back into a very comfy queen sized bed to relax and watch your favorite entertainment on the 50" smart tv.

Outside, the covered patio features two dining tables, bar-height table, grill, and a full covered outdoor bathroom. Enjoy friendly games with cornhole boards, our mini disc golf course, badminton or toss a football or frisbee in the spacious back yard—perfect for relaxing and playing. All outdoor spaces are shared between the main house and guest house, so feel free to enjoy whatever is available!

Overnite beach stay

We had a great time. The outdoor area is great and we took the kayaks out.-awesome. Space is slightly smaller than we expected, but with a couple detail tweaks, dishware, and such, it has some awesome features as well. Overall, it was an excellent stay.
