About this property

Experience living on a Houseboat and a fisherman's delight!

Our houseboat on the Intracoastal Waterway. Sit on the front porch and watch the yachts and commercial fishing boats go up and down the waterway. Bring your fishing pole and your boat. We have a wet slip available, so you can hop on and go! Cook what you catch or cook your favorite steak on a grill. There is a full kitchen with a dishwasher. There is a Queen size bed in the master bedroom and twin beds in the second bedroom.

We are just 10 minutes away from Historic Beaufort. Fabulous, unique shopping and restaurants, boating trips to Shackleford, and book an eco-tour of the Rachel Carson Estuary, Mariners Museum, Beaufort Historical grounds, and art museum. Scenic bus tours of Beaufort or boat tours to see dolphins. You can even take a sunset cruise on the Lookout sailboat. If you love the water, you will not be disappointed in the activities available. Here are just a few of the things you can do while visiting with us: swim, sail, boat, charter a tour, a cruise, snorkel, surfing at Atlantic Beach, paddle-board, kayak, jet ski, deep-sea fishing, secure a Pirate ship, treasure hunt, take a sunset cruise on the Lookout sailboat, pick up seashells, visit an aquarium, museums, libraries, take a trip to Shackleford Banks, see the wild Spanish Mustangs, explore great dive sites, dig for clams, gig a flounder, look for dolphins, go para-sailing, take a ferry over to Ocracoke, visit the 9-mile long island of Shackleford Banks, go Megaladon tooth diving, dive the many shipwrecks, buy a new surfboard, visit Cape Lookout National Seashore, and Shark Island.
Not much for water sports? That's okay you take a tour of Historic Beaufort on a real English Double-Decker bus, dancing, golfing, shopping, eating, play volley ball on the beach, enjoy a murder mystery dinner theater, walk the many fishing piers, fly a kite on the beach, have a picnic, walk the Beaufort's and Morehead's boardwalks, droll over yachts and sailboats docked at the marinas, experience wonderful photo opportunities, visit Beaufort's old graveyards, tours historic homes, take a pirate's tour of downtown, rent bikes, site seeing, listen to local musicians, visit Fort Macon, visit the Core Sound Waterfowl and Heritage center, visit Beaufort's Historic Grounds, watch local artists paint, relax at a tiki bar, set on the outside decks of local restaurants and have a wonderful meal and meet the locals, take your dog for a walk, or if all else fails, we recommend you just take time to relax and spend time with those you love in our friendly little town.

All the comforts on the water
This houseboat truly was the best of both worlds…on the water - with all the room and comforts of home. Great communication and accommodation from the friendly hosts…including letting us borrow a personal flashlight for night fishing 😊! The views of boats passing by was so beautiful and soothing. Location/proximity to both the Beaufort and Morehead City helped make this a terrific place to call home during our stay. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

Houseboat Living
We loved our stay on this houseboat. The listing and pictures are exactly what we found. We had plenty of space for our family of 3 and 2 dogs. We cooked in a few nights and the kitchen had the basics needed. The AC and fans were very welcome since it was HOT ! The RV park where the houseboat is docked is nicely maintained ~ a nice grassy area to walk the dogs ~ very clean laundry room / bathroom ~ and an outdoor shower ! There is a full bath in the houseboat too! My husband and son enjoyed dropping their fishing poles right off the back. It was fun seeing all the boats drive by ~ and you do feel it. We enjoyed going to both downtown Beaufort and Morehead City and did a day trip to New Bern too. We found a few dog friendly places too (we especially loved Taps and Tackle in Morehaed City ~ FANTASTIC tacos and they brought bacon over for the dogs !! Ice cream is delish at Beaufort Creamery and great brunch choices at Black Sheep). All around a great experience ~ different and fun change from a house / room / hotel etc. Would definitely stay again. Richard and Janet were so friendly and helpful and responsive. Could not ask for better hosts !!!!
