Down East Core Sound Cottage in Atlantic

Cozy newly renovated cottage in quaint historic fishing village of Atlantic, within walking distance of great views of Core Sound. This charming 3 bedroom, 1 bath bungalow with a screened-in porch, is the perfect getaway for a quiet vacation. Located in the original Down East area of Carteret County, just 12 miles to the Cedar Island/Ocracoke Ferry and a public beach, 29 miles to the Harkers Island Waterfowl Museum, 31 miles from Historical Beaufort, and 3 miles by boat to the Outer Banks and Cape Lookout National Seashore.

Many day trips available to Atlantic Beach and other destinations. Local fishing charters and hunting guides available. It is just minutes from the harbor, boat docking, and boat ramp.

Discover an unspoiled paradise, leave the crowds behind, and relax in a beautiful natural setting in this bungalow. Nestled on three-quarters of an acre in coastal North Carolina, this 1100-square-foot home offers the perfect getaway for outdoor enthusiasts. Bring your boats for days spent fishing or travel to the scenic uninhabited beaches! For a day trip, head 45 minutes to historic Beaufort or 50 minutes to Morehead City.

Peaceful and Relaxing
This was a lovely place to stay. The kitchen is huge and is well equipped, which was great because there are not a lot of places to eat out in this area (the days and times they are open did not suit our schedule). The screened in porch was fabulous and kept us safe from the mosquitoes (bring bus spray!). We had a few issues with 2 of the bedroom doors that wouldn't close, and the bathroom door that wouldn't latch, but we made it work. The owners were quick to respond to all of our questions. If you want a quiet getaway, 20 minutes from a very kid-friendly beach, where you can sleep in comfort and relax, this is the place to go. Thank you for having us! We loved our stay here.

I wanted to hike some of the MTS trails and this was the perfect spot to stay. The house was very roomy and had great kitchen appliances, a wonderful screened in back porch, and surrounded by the pleasant sounds of birds singing. So relaxing.

Our trip to Atlantic NC
I want to say off the bat these pictures do not do the place justice at all. The house is gorgeous! Linda and Arlynn met us when we got there and showed us where everything was. They are extremely nice and so helpful. The location is perfect if you hate crowded beaches. We only drove about 12min to get to a private beach that was so pretty and quite since not a bunch of people know it’s there. I would recommend this house and the owners if you want a peaceful trip. I will definitely be staying here again.

Great rental
In town visiting family. This was a great rental. We loved the open space and provided amenities (toiletries, kitchen items, etc). Linda was a gem of a host. We look forward to returning.

Very quiet and peaceful. Just what we wanted. Coastal places like this are getting harder and harder to find. We really enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of the cities and packed beaches.
