Years ago, when we discovered this home, it was sand-covered and neglected, but the location was priceless. Today it is a exhilarating, comfortable treasure surrounded by water on three sides, with a deck opening directly onto the beach and breath-taking sunset vistas.
Your stay at this bright, colorful oceanfront home offers opportunities to appreciate sea breeze respites on the porch, deck or beach.
Or you can try your luck surf fishing at ocean’s edge or flounder gigging in the channel, “the honey pot” as the locals call it. Bear Island is just across the inlet and there is ample sand for castle-building and sunbathing. The beach is just short of feeling completely private.
The home itself features lively, inspiring décor that invites gatherings in the family room, breakfast room and kitchen. In the colder months, with the fireplace ablaze, the space is intimate and cozy. The kitchen is comfortable, current and well equipped. For those who find relaxation in the latest movie offerings or sports events, the sizable flat screen TV is at the ready. Each bedroom also has a T.V. to accommodate differences of opinion. Both the master and guest bedroom overlook the water.
In the event that you find yourself in need of getting away from all this, a short car ride away, you’ll find a plethora of things to do. There is shopping in Swansboro, and Morehead City, fine dining and art in Beaufort, antique hunting in New Bern and Jacksonville for all the rest.
We hope that you will consider treating yourself to a stay at this painless, calming oceanfront jewel.
