Enjoy your time at The Crow's Nest by relaxing in the hammock on the corner porch, rocking on the front porch watching the water activities, or being part of the water activities. The 50-foot pier with a large deck at the end is a great place to enjoy the day but, especially, the sunset. The low deck and ladder provide easy access to a sandy-bottom swim area about 4- to 5-feet deep (NO DIVING). Lots of space for making memories with family and friends. A paddle board and two kayaks are available for your enjoyment while you are at the Crow's Nest. If bringing your boat, nearby Mackey's Marina offers slips and a boat ramp. The closest wildlife ramps are Roanoke River at Highway 45, Connaby Creek, and Plymouth. This part of the Albemarle Sound offers excellent fishing ground for white perch, rock, bass, crabs, and other species. You can fish directly from the bulkhead and pier or take your boat to Swan's Bay, the Roanoke River, Mackey's Creek, or Batchelor's Bay. For a longer expedition, you could cross the Sound to Edenton (roughly 6 miles) and the Chowan River or head 10 miles east to the Highway 32 car bridge. The Outer Banks is approximately an hour’s drive away and offers many attractions, such as the NC Aquarium, Wright Brothers Memorial, Jockey's Ridge, Elizabethan Gardens, Jeannette's Pier, and the Atlantic Ocean. If you're interested in nature and wildlife, you should check out Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, Lake Mattamuskeet, or the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. Bear and wildlife tours are offered seasonally. If history and culture are your thing, check out Somersett Plantation at Phelps Lake on the Pettigrew State Park; go in to Plymouth and explore the waterfront, the Roanoke River Lighthouse and Maritime Museum, the Bear Museaum, and Port-o-Plymouth History/Civil War Museum; or venture to Edenton to tour the Historic District including the Cupola House, the Iredell House, and the 1767 Chowan County Courthouse. The Crow's Nest offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, plus an outside shower, all on one floor. It sleeps up to 9 people and has one central living room with seating and a large-screen TV. A screened-in porch wraps around 3 sides of the cottage and has rocking chairs as well as corner benches to catch the best breeze. Dine inside or out. The bar counter in the kitchen seats 6 and a round table seats 4-5 more. The large picnic table on the front porch seats up to 8\. Full kitchen stocked with all the essentials and some extras. Electric stove/oven, double sink, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven. Both charcoal and gas grills are available.

Walking near Pungo Lake in the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, it is easy to spot lots of tracks left by the resident wildlife. Black bears are quite abundant in this area, and are actually more common in this part of eastern North Carolina than they are in the Great Smoky Mountains. I didn't actually see the bear, but these tracks were quite fresh.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248634998790089/7ade2325-68d0-4e0e-9f6e-d2f2af946613.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge 28 min drive \- 28.0 km - Washington County Hospital 15 min drive \- 16.8 km - Roanoke River Lighthouse and Maritime Museum 17 min drive \- 18.5 km - God's Creation Wildlife Museum 17 min drive \- 18.5 km - Chowan Golf and Country Club 27 min drive \- 37.1 km ### Restaurants - Mackeys Landing Restaurant 6 min drive - The Shed 33 min drive - Normans Grill 9 min drive - Carol-Lyn's Sandwich Stop 9 min drive - Mackey's Marina 6 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Waterfront Home with Pier on Albemarle Beach pet-friendly? ### How much is parking? ### What time is check-in at Waterfront Home with Pier on Albemarle Beach? ### What time is check-out at Waterfront Home with Pier on Albemarle Beach? ### Where is Waterfront Home with Pier on Albemarle Beach located? ## Have a question?

I really wished that we would have stayed longer. The house was well organized and cozy. I loved the wrap around screened in porch. The water was just steps away from the porch. It was very soothing. The beds were very comfy and clean. The whole house was very clean. If you are just spending some time hanging out in the house, then there is plenty to do. So many books and games to keep you entertained. We had a very nice stay. ##### Heather N. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane K.

The cottage is quaint and you can see all the love that has been poured into it over and the years. The kitchen is equipped with all you will need on your vacation. There was an abundance of water toys, life jackets, canoes & kayaks. My family loved all of them. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the wrap around porch in the rocking chairs watching the humming birds, purple martins and geese that floated by. We will definitely return to the Crows Nest. ##### Diane K. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lee S.

This was our third time at this house after staying here twice last year. We enjoyed fishing off the private dock, paddle boarding and kayaking on the calm flat Albemarle Sound. Since we have only found two really outstanding restaurants in the area, members of our family took turns cooking, so we got to enjoy our meals on the picnic table on the screened in back porch in view of the sound. The house is older, so it's understandably imperfect and has its quirks, but these make this place more endearing to us. The house is well equipped and has plenty of supplies for travelers who forget things. ##### Lee S.
