Harkers Fishing Trip
We came to Harkers Island for an annual fishing trip . The house was very clean and kept in impeccable shape The kitchen was the best supplied with appliances and pots and pans ,silverware and glassware of any home I've stayed at previously. We really enjoyed having the screened porch and the off street parking in the driveway. We look forward to stay again.

Great house and great location
We used this house for half of our 8 person group on our annual trek to Harkers Island to fish for albies. It was a beautiful, well kept house with all of the amenities we needed, and in a perfect location for our daily fishing trips. We will be returning!
We arrived shortly after hurricane Helene, which did not affect Harkers Island, but our host who lives in the western part of the state was severely affected. Without an internet connection she still stayed in touch with us to make sure everything was OK. A great host!

Great place!
We stayed here for four nights while visiting the coast and playing golf. The home was very clean and quite nice. The host was very communicative and responded to all messages quickly. Only small nit is that the water pressure in showers was much lower than we're accustomed to.
All-in-all -- a 5-star experience! We will book again if we come back.

Our harkers island get-away
It was a beautiful home that was decorated so lovely. We felt right at home there. So quiet and right near the water. The house was so clean, and enjoyed the front and back porches. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

I lived on HI from the age of 3 to 15. Our place became the Harkers Island Ferry and National Park Service headquarters. The house was great for family get togethers, great beds, Ac, well stocked kitchen and clean! Convenient to all Cape Lookout activities. Even if it was just the 2 of us I would rent it again. Hosts were great and attentive. We pulled our boat and had plenty of space to enjoy the Harkers Island experience. Thank you Pat for allowing us a great family get together and trip down memory Lane!
