The cottage was perfect for a couple to stay. Had a mishap with a busted pipe, but the owner was quick to respond and had it fixed same day and gave us a refund for the trouble for that day. The only thing that was uncomfortable was the shower that looked as if it was cracked before with a patch job, but was very soft to stand on so you had to stand awkwardly. But we managed and very much enjoyed our stay. Cody was very polite and we are grateful for them sharing their cottage at a reasonable price so we could have our get away. Check out in and out was very easy. We look forward to booking again. ##### Tammy H. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darin H.

We wanted to get away somewhere that was peace and quiet. Harkers Island was it. It is located right in the middle of the island between two restaurants and seconds from the ferry terminal. Cape Lookout and Shackleford Banks We enjoyed sitting on the porch. Local story along with the house. Local islander Ms. Guthrie. Everything you need and Clean Thank You ##### Darin H.
