Welcome to our home!

Our cottage is located in a lovely, family-friendly neighborhood only 10 short blocks to the Morehead City Waterfront. It is convenient to all of the attractions of the Crystal Coast, yet removed enough to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of Bogue Sound. We recently added two new and expanded front porches, an outdoor shower, all new windows, doors and new siding.

 Use this website as an information portal to plan your stay and as a reference guide during your stay.  Once you've fallen in love with the cottage and decided on when you'd like to visit, please use the information on the Contact page to  book your stay.
