About this property
Goose Creek Island Retreat - Rural & Secluded
Leave your cares at the bridge and embrace the spacious, comfortable, and pristine charm of this delightful home on the secluded Goose Creek Island. Nestled in a tranquil setting on the Pamlico Sound, this island retreat offers a fully stocked kitchen, both indoor and outdoor games, accommodation for up to 16 guests, and high-speed Wi-Fi, all set against a scenic and private backdrop. Engage in activities such as duck hunting, fishing, and kayaking (*additional daily fee), or simply wander through the island's natural beauty. It's the perfect locale for social distancing while relishing your personal slice of paradise.
You'll have full access to the entire house, including front patio, back porches, and all rooms. The family room features a flat-screen TV with Roku and cable, while the large sleeping room boasts a Smart TV. An oversized washer and dryer are at your disposal during your stay.
The all-season room, adjacent to the dining area, provides a dedicated workstation for four with desks and seating. A well-stocked kitchen, equipped with all essential cooking items, invites you to prepare your meals. A Wilmington Grill is available for use (guests must provide their own propane), and you can utilize the new Loco Cart Boiler (90Qt) for your own Low Country Boil! Remember to stock up on supplies before arrival, as the nearest stores and restaurants are a 20-minute drive to Bayboro.
Outdoor enthusiasts can make use of provided games like cornhole, badminton, volleyball, pickleball, and kites, while indoor games are also available. A boat and kayak ramp, just 1/4 mile away, is included with your stay. Witness breathtaking sunrises on Jones Bay or enjoy spectacular sunsets on the Intracoastal, both of which are sure to leave lasting memories.
For day trips, explore Morehead City/Atlantic Beach (approximately 1.5 hours away) or venture less than an hour to the picturesque New Bern, NC, offering local shopping, delightful restaurants, and historical sites such as the "Birthplace of Pepsi-Cola."

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was clean and comfortable. The AC was awesome! The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfy, there was plenty of hot water. I will definitely stay here again.
This property more than accommodated our group of 12 with room to spare. Close enough to most of the activities we were interested in. Loved having access to the boat launch for kayaking. Visit to nearby Aurora's fossil museum was a treat!
The metal mansuin is very cool for duck hunters. We need a place ro stay wile house hunting
A great place first class accommodations for for duck hunting families.

Very Bad experience of Stay
We had a very bad experience and gone through tough nights of stay ... one of the Bedrooms which had 5 beds smelled too bad... it's mostly like pee smell... it's not about the lenins ... we doubted the mattresses itself were smelling... and the room corners too... the 1st night of stay was hell for us... because that smell was came up to dining area... also the overall cleanliness is very poor... windows were not in a good condition... could not open them easily and lot of debris everywhere...
This is the first time for us to experience like this in USA
We were completely unhappy to stay there with the kids... but we had to continue as we had no other option as we couldn't find alternate cabin immediately.
