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! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster - Water dispenser ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the marina - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycles - Golf - Gym - Kayak - Water sports equipment - Basketball nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycles - Garden - Recycling - Reusable coffee/tea filters - Water dispenser - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102180000/102178700/102178648/dafbbfc6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Romantic Winter Escape with a jon boat, Kayaks, and three miles to the beach Cedar Point - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 39 reviews CA $127 CA $281 total includes taxes & fees Jan 27 - Jan 28 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-27&endDate=2026-01-28&selected=102178648&PinnedHotelID=102178648&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105790000/105785100/105785069/26dde750.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### On the water 5 mins from Emerald Isle.
