' A SALT WATERFRONT PARADISE WITH AWESOME PANORAMIC VIEWS!'

Our stay at Bountiful was delightful.. House was sparkling clean. Lovely kitchen. All appliances worked perfectly. Plenty of dishes, glasses, pots and pans. Bedrooms and baths comfortable. Wonderful water views from every window. Sun porch great- spent many relaxing hours there. Fishing, kayaking, shopping and lots of restaurants near by. Lots of info at Bountiful on attractions. Plus
owners Brenda and Russ happy to help and advise. Lovely people. Will tell family and friends go to Bountiful by the sea.

We arrived and were greeted by our hosts Russ and Brenda Sanborn. I say hosts, not owners because they were so very gracious. They made sure that everything was top notch. Even if they had not filled us in there is a binder inside that has everything that one could possibly need. Even DVD's were indexed!
The house itself was neat, clean , nicely decorated, and truly made one feel at home. The views from all of the rooms was spectacular. The screened in porch was a real favorite of ours. Some dolphins entertained us one morning.
We brought our 6 year old Granddaughter who is already planning next year there.It was no video games occupying her time. Catching minnows, crabbing, fishing and just exploring clam shells occupied her days. The famous Children's saying of "I'm bored" never crossed her lips.
She is as anxious as us to go back and has already checked the calendar after asking me to bring up the pictures on the computer.
The Core Sound Museum on Harkers Island located just a few miles away,is a real treasure and a wonderful way to spend some time.
As private as the house is, it is so central to whatever one likes, be it the beach, fishing charters, sightseeing, everything is a within a reasonable distance. We are so ready to return and make new memories.

We stayed at Bountiful for our 31st anniversary. Both the home and the area of Beaufort were far beyond our expectations. Russ and Brenda are marvelous hosts and their attention to detail much appreciated. We were gifted with champagne and restaurant recommendations for our "special night". We fished from the pier and relaxed on the sunporch, watching the birds and the tides change. The sunsets were out of this world! We loved the historic wharf area of Beaufort, which we found to have the best seafood restaurants on the Outer Banks. The Maritime Museum and historic home tour were enjoyable and informative. We took a day trip to visit nearby Fort Macon on Atlantic Beach, and another day trip, by ferry, to Cape Lookout Lighthouse and its beautiful, pristine (and deserted) beach. We take an anniversary trip every year and Bountiful by the Sea was truly one of the best ever! You should go!
