Marshallberg, North Carolina
The William Andrew Way House, ca. 1872, is one of the oldest remaining homes in the charming village of Marshallberg, North Carolina. Marshallberg is one of the 13 communities of Down East on North Carolina's Crystal Coast. Marshallberg is close to the Cape Lookout National Seashore and is part of the North Carolina Outer Banks Scenic Byway. The Way House was thoroughly remodeled and modernized in 2012.
The kitchen is well equipped by the owner who loves to cook. It has a gas stove and dishwasher, an island counter with stools and a custom-built wooden table that seats 10 (and is great for working on jigsaw puzzles).
The master bedroom has a queen bed and private door into the bathroom.
The second bedroom has a queen bed and a single bed.
The library has a new Ikea couch that folds out into a single bed.
The library has a smart TV, DVD and Blue Ray player. There are also books and jigsaw puzzles and yoga equipment.
The house has WiFi.
The Way house has a private screened-in porch off the kitchen surrounded by bird-filled green space with a table and chairs for dining al fresco and the house comes with a gas Bar-B-Q.
The location is very quiet. There is a public dock off Center Street that faces Core Banks across Core Sound. The park at the end of the Marshallberg Road is a favorite place to watch the sunset. Beside the park a small harbor holds both pleasure and working boats. The village offers interesting walking and bicycling; two bikes are included with the rental.
Marshallberg is a short drive from the Harkers Island ferry to Cape Lookout National Seashore, the Harkers Island Waterfowl Museum, the Cedar Island ferry to Ocracoke, lovely Beaufort NC, Atlantic Beach, hiking in Croatan National Forest, historic Fort Macon State Park, historic New Bern and other historic North Carolina coastal towns.
The Way House suits couples and young families or as a writer's retreat.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay at this cute renovated little farmhouse. It was very clean on the inside and comfortable. The neighborhood is fairly quiet and about half hour away from various activities like access to the ferries, beaches and shops. The only reason we give a four-star to the check-in process is because of our little snafu with the keys. Thanks to very helpful neighbors who helped us get in contact with the owners who live in Canada, we were able to resolve the issue. We would definitely recommend this house for couples and small families. The beaches in the area are absolutely beautiful for the North Atlantic. We highly recommend making use of the various ferries, especially to the lighthouse.
Our family of 4 stayed here for 5 nights as we visited Cape Lookout and surrounding areas. It was a nice getaway home, comfortable, quiet, and clean. We enjoyed all of the amenities that were offered to us. The only issue we had was the water was slow to drain down the tub. I would recommend this home and we would use it again.
My husband and I had a very nice time staying at this quaint little house. It is located in a quiet and walkable neighborhood. We enjoyed the large kitchen, the screened in back porch, and the library/TV room. Nicole and Alan are very gracious and helpful hosts and we are glad they shared their family’s vacation home with us!
We enjoyed our stay. The house and yard were beautiful and clean. The house was not far from many wonderful experiences.
We really enjoyed everything about the house. Everything was clean and tidy. The location was very nice, being close to Harkers island and Beaufort. Thank you so much!
We enjoyed staying in a great rural property, but with Beaufort’s wonderful restaurants and waterfront only 20 minutes away
The photos are accurate but cannot capture just how lovely and peaceful this house and property are. Beautifully and lovingly maintained, updated, and outfitted for guests, with a great cook's kitchen that is a joy to prepare meals in. There is also a great selection of books to read during your stay. Very grateful to have the opportunity to stay here. Thank you!
We just finished up a week's vacation at Nicole and Alan's Marshallberg Way House and had a wonderful time. The house is inviting, comfortable, peaceful, extremely clean and well furnished, and felt more like a home than a house, with lots of family photos and artwork. The place has character! Each morning, we took our time and enjoyed observing and listening to all the birds who also make the place their home. There are plenty of bird identification books and even binoculars for birdwatchers. And our two dogs loved the large, private yard. We all also really took to the screened in porch. Each day, we set off for a different adventure, exploring the Down East area of the Crystal coast of NC. We had such a great time. The highlight adventure was taking the ferry out to both Shackleford Banks and Cape Lookout on the same day. We saw the Spanish Mustangs on Shackleford, visited the lighthouse at Cape Lookout, and spent hours on the beach hunting for shells, with great success, I must say. :) Harker's Island was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed the Core Sound Museum as well as visiting some of the locals' decoy workshops. We spent a day over at Morehead City and Atlantic Beach, as our nearly 4 year old daughter is definitely a beach girl, but we highly preferred the greater area surrounding the house. We had many great meals in Beaufort, which is just a 20 minute drive from the house and has plenty of nice restaurants. We definitely took advantage of the area's fantastic seafood. We highly recommend the Way House. Nicole and Alan are welcoming hosts and will quickly answer any questions you may have. We look forward to returning and exploring more of the area, including the Cedar Island area, as we ran out of time on this trip. Thanks so much, Nicole and Alan!
We loved our week-long stay at Way House in Marshallberg! The house is beautiful & comfortable and located in a tranquil setting within a short drive to Beaufort and other area attractions. It was perfect for our needs. Nicole and Alan are excellent hosts--very responsive to our questions. We are looking forward to a return visit!
Great property and House. Ready to cook all that down east seafood. Cozy back porch to talk and relax
Pleasant experience from beginning to end. Would definitely rent again.
We have spent several weekends in this house and would love to come back. Unique atmosphere of a historic house with all modern amenities. half hour from Atlantic beach, 20 minutes from Beaufort, 15 min from the ferry to Cape Lookout Lighthouse. Great place to relax after a day of swimming, hiking, and all other vacation things to-do!
This area (with its close access to Cape Lookout and boat ramps, and all the glorious associated waterways) is as good as coastal North Carolina gets (if you love the water and don't love crowds). This home is the perfect companion piece. We will be back, whenever it is available.
If you did what we did prior to getting here i.e. a week of baseball and crazy Myrtle beach excursions and you need a break, come to this place. Stay, chill, enjoy a full stacked kitchen and plenty of ready to do with walk in the village and friendly locals.
very nice house would rent it again
This is a beautiful, peaceful property with extensive lawns and the most gorgeous big magnolia tree! The house is very well equipped for a serious cook and the dining area and back porch are conducive to convivial meals. Quiet sleeping too!
This house is beautiful and is the quintessential sea cottage. We had an amazing vacation and it was all the better that our stay was affordable and comfortable. The owners were accommodating and we look forward to booking with them again.
We so enjoyed visiting in a home of intellectuals with so many interests; books, family photos, complete tear-down of vintage home with wonderful rebuild, screen-in porch to view wildlife, games and wanting-for-nothing kitchen; learned where to visit, due to book; this home made my brain come alive!!! Owner's grown children are fortunate to have such stimulating parents!
We had a wonderful stay in this property! We arrived to a beautiful, very clean, and well supplied home. Communication with the owners was great and responses very quick! We love this home, and so appreciate being able to spend our vacation there! We would recommend this property to others!
Beautiful historic home in peaceful neighborhood. Was a good base as we explored the Cape.Lookout Shore and Beaufort. House was clean and well stocked with basic essentials. Only complaint was that the mattresses were a little uncomfortable. Everything else was great! Enjoyed our time there!
Everything was clean and what we where doing in the area in was great. I loved staying in a old historic home.
