Property Description
Enjoy the views from the large deck & private dock with lots of room for sunning, fishing, launching boats and kayaks. Indoors provide cozy reading spaces & 4 bedrooms and space for making many memories. Whether you are here for sunning on the dock, escaping to a quiet place with water views, taking the ferry to Core Banks for the best NC beaches have to offer, 4-wheeling, duck hunting, fishing or kayaking, you can enjoy it all at The Ferry House! This fully furnished waterfront home is within sight of the Cape Lookout Ferry Service and just minutes away from Cape Lookout. Great access to Core Banks to enjoy the beach for sun and waves or fishing and hunting. Friends and family can lounge in the over 2400 square feet of living space or on the 200 SF sun deck overlooking the water. Park your boat at the property's private dock after a day on the water! Included with your 2+ night stay are two round trip Ferry Passes on Davis Shore Ferry Service -- THE PROPERTY -- Master Bedroom: King Bed | Bedroom 2: King Bed | Bedroom 3: Queen Bed | Bedroom 4: 2 Full Beds | Great room: Sofa bed - twin. Using the regular coffeemaker or Keurig, start your morning with a cup of joe on the sun deck. Overlooking the water, watch the pelicans, ducks, herons or sea gulls while enjoying the pleasant breeze coming from the Core Sound. Try the hammock. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins playing or the occasional sea turtle. Enjoy yoga on the sun deck or at the water’s edge (mats provided!) or sit on the dock and watch the sunrise. Spend your afternoon on the sound, floating in the water, swimming, or using the kayaks provided. The kids will delight in being able to fish right off the dock, use a cast net or try their luck with crab pots (we have provided a couple). Catch a ride on the ferry or paddle on the kayak to Core Banks and enjoy the (arguably) best beaches on the NC coast. If you bring your own boat you can ride to the Beaufort waterfront for a dockside lunch. If you have your own 4-wheel drive vehicle you can ferry it across to Core Banks and ride to Cape Lookout lighthouse - if not, you can rent a Kubota in Davis or catch a ferry from Harkers Island to the lighthouse. After memorable hours on the water, cook out on the outdoor gas grill, admiring the view with a drink in hand until dinner is ready. Or stay inside and whip up a fabulous feast in the fully equipped kitchen! During the meal preparations, your kids can watch their favorite shows on one of the 2 TVs. Wrap up the day by riding the cruiser bikes around Davis and exploring. Watch the sunset from the benches on the dock or spend time playing some of the many games or enjoying quality time. The stargazing won’t disappoint anytime of year! In the fall and winter, access to duck hunting doesn’t get any more convenient. Either grab the ferry or tie your boat off to the dock! Enjoy a family movie night on the 4K Smart TV with cable, streaming capabilities, and a DVD player. -- THE LOCATION -- Core Sound and Down East are hidden treasures. Core Sound is south of Pamlico sound and north of Bogue sound. This region of North Carolina is blessed with a rich history that links them to the water. If you can explore the area by kayaking the sound and some of the creeks off of it, you will experience a treasure. Downtown Beaufort, NC has been called the last true southern town left. It is just 12 miles away, where you can discover the town's parks, museums, and other tourist attractions or stroll down Front Street! While you may decide to never leave the screened porch, if you do choose to venture out, Beaufort offers a variety of activities and great local seafood, and more. A visit to Shackleford Banks to see the wild ponies is a bit magical. If you have more members of your group needing more space, Sound Eacape is just 2 doors down the sound and sleeps 8! https://www.vrbo.com/1426567?webview=ios&unitId=1985078About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 10:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About customRules:Dock ladders.

Great spot before we headed to Cape Lookout for camping/fishing. Caught LOTS of mullet off the dock so we departed with fresh bait! Perfect location to catch the ferry the next morning. Very clean and nice spot for the night. Will return next year.

Excellent vacation Loved the house. It is beautiful. Made you feel welcome withe the bread and pasta. House was child friendly. Enjoyed swimming at pier. Unfortunately the wind picked up and curtailed our water activities. Would go back again.

Absolutely breathtaking! The view was everything. We could sit outside and look at and listen to the water for hours. It was secluded from the hustle and bustle, which we wanted. Very peaceful. We will definitely be back.

Great Reunion We stayed at the home for four days for a family reunion with our seven adult siblings and elderly mother. The home was beautiful and very comfortable to stay in with all the amenities of home. We had a wonderful time sitting on the porch watching the moon rise in the evenings and the sun rise in the morning. The view over the sound was amazing. The area was very peaceful and relaxing, and wasn't prohibitively far from activities in Beaufort and Atlantic Beach. We loved our whole stay.
