It lies right on the bank of Calico Creek and in the heart of Morehead City at 20th street. Kayak from the side yard or the 20th street bridge, walk or ride your bike 1/2 mile to the beach on the Sound and the downtown waterfront filled with shops and restaurants, put your boat in at the Morehead City public ramp at the Visitor's Center less than 2 miles from the cottage, or drive the 7 minutes to Atlantic Beach. You can do it all from Sunset Cottage, at an affordable rate, and then enjoy spectacular sunsets on the water from the screened porch or the second floor deck overlooking Calico Creek. Decorated like the fishing cottage it was intended to be, Sunset Cottage has two bedrooms - a primary with a queen bed and a second with a queen and two twins. There is a full hall bathroom upstairs that the bedrooms share, and a powder room downstairs with a private outdoor shower. The modern kitchen has a ceramic cooktop and oven, fridge, and a counter-top ice maker. The coffee bar offers a drip coffeemaker, grinder, a cartridge machine (Keurig-style), and an electric kettle for tea drinkers. A kayak and corn hole game is provided for your enjoyment but once the peaceful setting soaks in, you may not want to do anything but watch the water, sky and wildlife that surrounds you.

Reviewer Comments: Our group of four had an amazing time at Sunset Cottage on Calico Creek! The place had everything we needed, and we loved the style of the place that gave it so much character. The screened-in porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening drinks while watching the creek. We also appreciated the tandem kayak — a great touch for some spontaneous fun on the water. It was the ideal mix of comfort, style, and relaxation. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique stay in Morehead City! ##### A guest from Greensboro, North Carolina This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### A guest from Greensboro, North Carolina Sep 5, 2024 #### Perfect Cottage on Calico Creek Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful.

I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was ok. Both bedrooms upstairs. Furniture to sit on (inside and out) both need updating and improving upon. Old and uncomfortable. Enjoyed the screened porch since the weather was very nice. ##### Allen O. ### 8/10 Good #### Suzanne R. Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### House has potential Location was great! Management company was great! House itself was just ok, but could be cute as a button! Den and porch furniture need to be donated to Good Will or thrown in dump. They were old, stained , uncomfortable ,etc. We covered them up prior to sitting on them. Also need more sitting options in den. House had one couch and one chair. Decor is awful as well but the furniture was definitely our biggest complaint. Rest of house was fine though! The last suggestion would be to have cleaning supplies avaliable to help keep house tidy. House didnt have a broom, toilet bowl brush etc. I'm just one who likes to keep things clean etc. We would stay here again IF owners updated the furniture and decor. Again, the house has so much potential! Wouldn't take much to make it a more comfortable, appealing vacation home. Overall our time in Morehead City was great! ##### Suzanne R.
