Vacation rentals with a kayak in Carteret County

My husband and I had a magical 3 night stay at The Shack and it wasn't long enough! There is a lot of love and well thought out details put into this beautiful little oasis by the water. First, it is CLEAN and bright. Fluffy towels, pretty granite in the kitchen and bathroom, big fridge and the kitchen is well stocked. Snacks and coffee provided are a sweet touch. We absolutely loved sitting on the upper deck in the comfortable chairs and also the swing on the lower level morning and night. So peaceful and relaxing. The views are spectacular! The location is also a big plus with great restaurants close by. Il Cigno Italiano, the fried whole fish at Fish Hut (OMG!) and martinis and appetizers at Kathryn's Bistro were some favorites. We had so much fun riding the bikes to 34 degrees north for live music just 1 mile away. Emerald Isle beach, Fort Macon, Hammock Beach State Park are close by too. Jennifer is a wonderful host! So friendly, accommodating and quick to respond.

being from the outer Banks area and coming back to visit we couldn't have found a better place,it offered things I didn't know were available there...the host were great and responsive and understanding and the house was everything that was described, the feeling of home is the only way to describe the stay, the overwhelming feeling of peace is an understatement,definitely going back in the near future,highly recommend Brittany and Kelly to anyone who sees this add 🙏🙏

Excellent communication and response. Always a great place to stay and the hosts are the best.

Our trip to Harker's Hideaway was very peaceful and relaxing. The private dock and beach was an amazing experience. If you are looking for a place to unplug and just rest, this is a prime location. The island is small and it's not a bustling community but that's not what we went there for. It is a beautiful place amazing sunsets and if you want other things to do they're all within driving distance. (short) We hope to be able to return.

Amie was a fantastic host and my friends and I immensely enjoyed our time at the house and in the area. Amie communicated well with us in the week before our trip giving recommendations for the area as well as giving clear instructions for checking in, etc. We were quite pleased to be at a house that was so clean. We enjoyed the small back patio quite a lot. Definitely recommend Amie's house!

Property was very nice and had a great view. Also was in a great location, not too far from stores in Havelock and New Bern. This was, by far, the best experience I’ve had using Airbnb. The management team was very quick and responsive. Thank you so much for hosting us!

Easy to get to activities and dining. House was clean and comfortable.

Loved the location!!! Felt like at home we loved that we had the beach so closed by def will be returning!!

this is our second stay at Chris's place. Its one of the most peaceful and quiet places I've been. I love sitting out back looking out over the water. Its instant relaxation. The house is well stocked and comfortable and clean. the neighbors are friendly and if you bring a boat its so convenient to launch right next door. the dock is also well equipped for fishing and docking a boat.

We love Pirates Hideaway. It’s a great spot on the sound with easy beach access. It has an amazing water view. Loved our stay and will definitely be back.

Beautiful and well kept home. Love the closeness only 3 min drive from main beach. Teenagers were able to walk to DQ. They blew up the tires on the bike but one needs a tube. There was everything you would need except a potatoe masher (now there is one). Grocery store and shops were so close.

Beautiful property, very peaceful, would love to stay again. Thank you😊

We were very happy with the property! Very peaceful and relaxing. We brought our pontoon and we're able to dock it right at our place, after launching nearby. We absolutely loved being right on the water and enjoyed some time in New Bern as well. Thank you for a great stay!

At the end of a mile dirt road was a beautiful & welcoming home with a great view. The host are right beside you if you should need anything. Clean & beautiful home with ‘soft big beds’ (as my daughter would say) 😉 Emerald Isle is close by to visit during the day. We enjoyed the park, aquarium, shopping, & dining. Kitchen was also nicely stocked for some nice cooked meals there! Hope we can come back again!

My husband and I had a lovely, peaceful time. Beautiful views, lovely breeze, and quiet surroundings. Not much to do in the area (which we love), so be prepared to spend quality time together or drive a bit. Kitchen is well stocked and furniture is clean and comfortable.

From my first interaction with Julie, the trip could not have been any better. The location is great, tucked in a neighborhood, but within walking distance of restaurants and a bar we enjoyed. The house was all we could have hoped for. Kitchen fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans. We chose to drive to the public beach access which was two turns and three minutes away. Grocery within two minutes and restaurants near-by. 10/10 wood stay here again.
