This coastal cottage located in beautiful Cape Carteret sits in a quaint waterfront neighborhood just a short distance to Emerald Isle beaches, local dining and entertainment. Bring your boat, jet skis, bikes or golf cart—there’s plenty of room in the driveway!

Many modern amenities are offered, including:

-Paved parking
-Large porch with built-in furniture and grill
-Washer and Dryer
-Newly renovated kitchen, fully stocked with cookware
-Dishwasher
-High speed Wi-Fi
-AppleTVs with YouTubeTV


This two bedroom, one and a half* bathroom house has been renovated over the past few years with major upgrades to the kitchen in 2020. There is a large porch and yard for entertaining, and a large driveway to accommodate multiple vehicles as well as trailers, boats and jet skis!

The kitchen is fully stocked with quality stainless and nonstick cookware, spices and all the basics. When you’re done cooking, enjoy the ease of using the dishwasher! A front load washer and dryer are available for use as well. Detergent and dryer sheets are included!

The master bedroom offers a queen bed, new in 2021, and plenty of closet space. The loft-style bedroom upstairs has two memory foam full beds, new in 2021. There are both gel and gusseted pillows available, so pick whichever you prefer!

The full bath downstairs has a tile shower with a divine rain shower head. A quality soap and shampoo will be provided.

*The ceiling in the half bath upstairs follows the pitch of the roof and therefore the headroom is limited. It’s perfect for kids, but an adult male may find it a little bothersome.




I have a virtual guidebook that can be viewed on your smartphone, tablet or laptop that contains my personal recommendations for the area, house rules, check-in procedures and anything else you could ever dream to know about the house, neighborhood and surrounding area! I will send this to you once a booking is confirmed so you can begin planning your stay!

This coastal cottage is in Bayshore Park, Cape Carteret, which is a waterfront neighborhood with beautiful views of Bogue Sound, the ICW and Emerald Isle! The neighborhood has four waterfront parks for water access (kayak launch, fishing etc.) including a small pier that can be used for crabbing or fishing! All four parks are a very short walk from the house.

Swansboro and Emerald Isle are both less than 10 minutes away, and Morehead City is only 20 minutes up highway 24. There are several boat ramps, water accesses and nature tails close by.

Cape Carteret, Swansboro and Emerald Isle each have a large selection of renowned restaurants of all price points, and I would be glad to offer recommendations based on your specific taste.

Golfin’ Dolphin and Mac Daddy’s offer mini golf, bowling, go-carts, a driving range, arcade games and even a high ropes course right here in town!

Bring your boat! The house is located just a short distance from several boat ramps including Broad Creek, Cedar Point, Emerald Isle and Shell rock Landing...it just depends on where you’re wanting to fish! (I am a professional mariner by trade, so I’d be glad to give you any pointers about getting around on the water and maybe even a few fishing tips!)




***Hurricane Season disclaimer: In the event a named storm is forecasted to impact the area, and a mandatory evacuation is issued by the local or state government, you will be required to leave the house. Hurricane shutters will be put up, and the house will not be accessible until after the storm passes. Of course, a refund of the days you left early will be gladly issued.***

    I can not say enough praise about Andrew his immaculate comfortable cozy cottage and whomever his cleaning service is. Prestine lodging with the comfiest beds and everything you need accessible in house. We were in town for a wedding but want to come back and visit our friends in the area also just to stay here again. Location is beautiful quiet neighborhood and a walk to water and boat ramps. The decor is so lovely and homey feeling. Quiet porch mornings were relaxing. Andrew is a joy to deal with and always replied quickly or offered any help with recommendations. Located minutes from grocery and plenty of chain restaurants along with local dining. We recommend Coastal Haze. Also emerald isle (10 min away) offered plenty. We went to movie theater and I enjoyed a massage at the Emerald Isle Massage.There are beach chairs available at the house we used for Bouge Pier.Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

    Andrew's Coastal Cottage is Fantastic ! Location, location, location ! Everything was as described, and immaculately clean. The house is well stocked with all the necessities, and a basket of snacks to enjoy. The washer and dryer are top notch, and of course detergent and dryer sheets were provided. Communication was fantastic ! We enjoyed the peace and calmness of the neighborhood, while still extremely close to the Emerald Isle hustle and bustle, as well as beautiful beaches. Andrew has a great grill built into the front deck, where we grilled fresh fish from Phillips Seafood, just up the road, right off of the boat. This home is definitely on our short list for a return visit, Thanks Andrew !

    This is the second time we rent this cottage from Andrew. This is a great property, very clean, and with many amenities (coffee!) The owner is very responsive as well as attentive to making us feel welcome and taken care of. Having a personalized downladable app to keep all directions on my phone was also great! Thank you. We will be back!

    The kitchen was fully equipped, everything was there down to the spices. The house was immaculate, tastefully decorated, inviting and cozy. Our host was very professional but more important genuinely concern that our stay would be memorable. Which I can honestly say indeed it was. Thank you Andrew for allowing my wife and I to enjoy your dwellings.

    This space was excellent. It was decorated so cute! Check in was seamless, communication was great and the location was quiet but close to Emerald Isle for beach and restaurants. My family and I loved this rental. The owner is so thoughtful providing extras such as shampoo, body wash, toilet paper, even lotion ! Can’t say enough !

    The owner made every part of our stay so simple and easy. The cottage is upscale and coastal furnishings- fabulous small kitchen and appliances. All linens and bedding first class- plus spotless. The neighborhood is charming - loved sitting in the deck in the late afternoon and evening enjoying the bird songs and quiet. Not far from the beaches at all. Easy drive and friendly people everywhere. The owner recommendations were spot on. Strongly recommend staying here if you are in the area! I hope we will be able to come again!

    We drove from Pennsylvania for a 3-night stay to celebrate my dad's 90th birthday. Because so many family members were arriving from out-of-state, we chose the cottage for its proximity to Emerald Isle where they live. The cottage was very comfortable and extremely quiet, which was an added bonus. We were worried about the loft ceiling since the listing indicates it is recommended for children, but it was not a problem for our adult daughter. We would definitely recommend the cottage for your next stay!

    We had an incredible time at this coastal cottage! The home was immaculate and so cozy! Had we stayed in, we would have still had a great time! We grilled out every night and went shelling and sight seeing during the day. We definitely will return in the future! Thank you Mr Andrew!

    Really enjoyed our stay. Property was very clean which is a big one for us. The cottage was very well equipped with extras if you forgot. There were a few very minor things that I did let Andrew know about but this did not affect our stay. Andrew is a great host & super easy to communicate with. Outside deck & grill great for what we needed & beds were comfortable. We will stay here again 100% next time we visit our friends in the neighborhood. Close to the beach by car. Mind you we stayed off season so the traffic was not too mad. We did drive North about 20-20 mins for a visit to Fort Macon that we all enjoyed! Beaches are great!

    We stayed at this property January 2024 and loved it, so we decided to stay again! Its close to family and close to everything we like to do. The property is clean and comfortable and very well kept. And this stay we found the distillery right around the corner, loved it! Andrew is very easy to work with and very pleasant. We will stay again in the future!
