Happy Place at Harker's

DebbieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

My husband and I went to Harkers Island to get away and to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. Chris’s Happy Place at Harkers Island was definitely just that and more! The neighborhood was peaceful and nostalgic. What a great front porch to sit out and relax on. The house is conveniently located to all the area has to offer, and yet remote enough to enjoy our privacy. We can’t wait to return!

The Lookout Waterfront Escape

AmandaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

we booked this place for my 40th birthday getaway because we were going to be taking the ferry to Shackleford one day and the Cape the next. The house is so close to the ferry, so it's super convenient. We loved the deck and being able to sit by the water, and had breakfast out there several times. The host was friendly and responsive, and the house was equipped with the things we needed. We would definitely consider renting this house again!
