Great time at the house in Harkers!
We had a great weekend. This house was a large space for four people. It had front and back porch which we loved and we were in very close proximity to the water. There were lots of amenities including a coffee/tea bar area with lots of selections.This cozy house was in good location was close to our boat slip. The fishing was fantastic! We will definitely be back.

Lovely, Cozy Stay
This location was exactly as described and just perfect for a short family stay. We loved being on the island and the proximity to the ferry, local beaches, and more. The house was cozy, beds were comfy, and we had a wonderful time. If you're looking for a luxury experience, you may not adore this home, but if you're looking for comfort and ease, this is the perfect place!

Perfect place for a quiet weekend
The place was even better than described! It was perfect for our little family of 4. The location was exactly what we needed. Five or so minutes to the ferry, 25 minutes to Beaufort for dinner and less than 40 min away from Fort Macon. We hope to be able to stay again.

Lovely Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at the island traditions house. The hosts had thoughtfully left a basket of goodies that we all enjoyed. We loved sitting on the porch swing, grilling on the deck and spending family time together in a beautiful place! We also enjoyed the Harkers Island beach and collecfing sea shells. We would love to stay again!
