Peaceful and remote

The home was as described, in a remote old fishing town and very quiet. It was nice for an older home and very clean. If you are looking for a peaceful place away from the crouds, this is that place. It's about 45 to 50 minutes to Morehead City and Atlantic Beach.

Quite and serene with water view

Overall was well worth the cost and enjoyed our stay. Had a minor hiccup with the check in, but Penny resolved it in literally less than 10 minutes from our call to her (at a late hour no less). A must go to is taking the ferry (about 15 minute drive) to Ocracoke Island for the day. Since it is in a quiet location, there wasn't a lot of choices to eat out (sit down location) nearby but Penny let us know upfront about that. There is a little Take Out cafe about a 2 minute walk from the house which had good food at a very reasonable price for a quick lunch or snack. Only issue we had was the tap water so should plan to bring your own.

Great spot near cedar island boat ramp.

My family and I returned to stay at this house as we were in town for the annual fishing tournament. It was clean and cool and situated fairly close to the public boat ramp we used. Property owner remained is close contact and when an issue arose with the house she took immediate action to resolve the problem. Another great trip down east!

Wonderful house, everything you'd want and more.

If you're looking hoidy toidy, this isn't it. If you're looking basic value and local charm, it is. To fully appreciate it, you need to bring a boat.

Clean, Comfortable, Great Location

I was fishing in the Sarah James Fulcher Red Drum tournament with three family members and looking for a local place to stay. Lucky for me the Core Sound Cottage was available! The house was clean, cool and comfortable, especially after a long day of fishing. There was plenty of room for all four of us and the bedrooms/bathroom were stocked with linens, towels, toiletries, etc. It's only 15 minutes from the Cedar Island Boat Ramp and there was room to leave our boat trailer at the house. There were even a few outdoor hoses available to spray off our gear. It was a great house in an ideal location and I would definitely stay there again!

Value for money

Atlantic is probably a place forgotten but certainly worth to remember. Great place to switch off and rewind. Nothing flashy but who needs that if you can go there with your family and just relax. People are friendly. Great little takeaway place walking distance from the house with the friendliest people. House is simply but have everything you need. Clean!!

Property dated but well stocked. Bring drinking water. If you have a flat bottom small boat bring it. Water is shallow but beautiful. Barrier Islands accessible with your boat. Restful. The take out food within walking distance was delious.

Great Beach Getaway

My family was looking for a nice coastal area for a last minute mini-cation and found this waterfront cottage. Penny was very pleasant and easy to deal with. The house is far enough from the crowds but minutes from beautiful beaches. Thinking of making this a family ritual.
