We have kayaks, bikes, a soft-top surfboard, a bodyboard, beach chairs, sandcastle set, life jackets, 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 main living area has plenty of room for the whole family to gather, eat, and enjoy each other’s company. For movie nights, relax with a theater experience on the 75" smart TV. The dining table conveniently slides away from the wall to reveal a bench, comfortably seating up to eight guests. Rest easy on our high-quality mattresses in both bedrooms, each equipped with blackout curtains to ensure a restful night’s sleep. Outside, there are picnic tables, a covered patio that features two dining tables, a 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.

Jul 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We enjoyed our time vacationing and spending time with th family. The house was set up with many amenities that we didn’t get a chance to use. We did cook and the appliances worked well. Because she it was over July 4th we got this cake and lived it. We don’t take any pictures because we got a chance to meet and spend some good quality timeout the owners. Our stay was very enjoyable and the company the cottage was very enjoyable. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0ae8e695-513b-4dc7-9bc4-26e20bd2a67b-1752207831451.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Debbie M.
