The Hoi Toider @ Harkers Island

The "Hoi Toider" gets it's name from the traditional King's English still spoken by local residents. Harkers Island has the honor of hosting both the Cape Lookout National Seashore Visitor Center and the Core Sound Waterfowl and History Museum along its shores, making it a very special stop during any Crystal Coast trip. The "Hoi Toider" is located one block away from the closest marina to Cape Lookout (Cape Point, $15 launch fee). Free Public Access ramps 2 miles away at the Harkers Island Bridge.

This clean home comfortably sleeps 7.
Includes a full kitchen, laundry, and 2 full baths. Enjoy lounging on the huge screened porches on the front and back of the home (perfect for kids camp-outs). Large, well-lit covered wash down area in back, big enough for two boats. Huge yard with plenty of parking.

Harkers Island is supported by 3 restaurants and multiple grocery and convenience stores. For the vacationer, this is a great place to bring your bikes or enjoy quiet walks.

For the boater, this is paradise with quick access to Cape Lookout, Beaufort, and Morehead City. Monthly rate available upon request.

Great Stay on Harkers Island

Great, clean, comfortable home perfect for small to medium size families. This is a quiet out of the way place to stay away from some of the busy beach towns, but with quick access to Cape Lookout and within half an hour of some other great towns along the coast. Not sure why a hot tub is listed as we did not see one anywhere on the property.

Our second visit to this property

Half of our group of 8 fishermen stayed at this property for the second time. It is, clean, roomy and has all the amenities one would expect except a dishwasher. The property is large with lots of room for parking and is in a quiet neighborhood which is located near where we needed to meet our fishing guides each morning. The owners kept in contact during our stay and are easy to work with.

Very accommodating

Had a wonderful week and you have a very nice rental. I’m very hesitant to let everyone know how nice the Hoi Toider is because everyone will rent it and take away the weeks I need for myself.

This is the second year we’ve spent a week at the Hoi Toider. Very convenient to the Cape Point Marina and wildlife access. There is plenty of parking and room for boats. The house is very comfortable and has two great screened in Porches. We plan to be back next year!

Home away from home!

It was another amazing trip at the Hoi Toider! This is one of our family’s absolute favorite places to stay and we’ve stayed multiple times. We already have a winter trip booked there and getting ready to book our next summer trip there making it our 8th stay. We feel so at home there and the property is well maintained. We find new updates each time we visit! Counting down the days until we get to go back!

Harkers Island Fishing Trip

The Hoi Toider is a great place for us to fish the Cape Lookout area. We put our boat in at Cape Pointe Marina when we can get to the jetty. When the wind is blowing hard, we put in at the public boat ramp so we can fish the marshes on the back of Shackleford Banks. The house is always clean and can comfortably accommodate five adults. A great fish cleaning station is available under a large carport. The kitchen is well stocked so you won't have to bring any pots and pans with you. This was our fifth year renting the house and we plan to be back next year!
