The property grounds are gorgeous and we spent much of our time outside or on the water. The ferry over to Cape Lookout is just down the road and easy to get to. They have kayaks on site available to use. We brought both of our pups and they had a blast playing in the water during load tide. Will definitely be back next year! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c3f462a7-b9a9-4e65-99f6-4b9a0a8693a8-1748211631655.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jill H.

The day we spent at the beach on Cape Lookout amazing. We had the whole beach to ourselves. We paddled across the sound to get to Shackleford another day. Our last day we headed to Atlantic beach for the Aquarium and putt-putt. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the Fish Hood Grill was. It's ~0.8 mile walk from the house. Would recommend! Will be back! ##### Nathan M. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Crystal B.
