Harkers Island is a place like no other—full of charm and history, good fishing and great people! Arriving on the island is like venturing into another world, where small-town spirit and unsurpassed natural beauty combine for a serene vibe as peaceful as the salty breeze. The island itself is a throwback to simpler times with humble beginnings. Still, its population has grown quite recently as a popular place for second homes outside of the city and is the ideal retreat for folks looking for a vacation spot in a sweet locale that radiates small-town charm but has lots to do nearby. What truly sets this property apart, however, is its location directly on Back Sound. Staying at The Cape provides you with access to your very own private harbor where you can tie up your motorboat, kayak, sailboat or schooner — and when your friends stay at one of the other units, too, they can boat over and join you! Easily set out on a day cruise island hopping along the Crystal Coast to the Cape Lookout lighthouse to search for wild horses on Shackleford Banks or for seashells on Sand Dollar Island. The Cape will welcome you after a day in the salt air and sunshine! This property has been maxed out for simple yet luxe living with a contemporary coastal look and feel from top to bottom. The water views from this address are cinematic in scope and capture spectacular sunrises and sunsets from almost every space and window— and the balconies provide a bird’s eye view of your stunning surroundings that will both mesmerize and relax you. Every effort was made to ensure comprehensive comfort and amenities throughout the home. The open living floor plan makes gathering in groups, big or small effortless. Entertaining is a breeze, too, whether casual or more formal —with modern gourmet kitchens for cooking together and countertop seating and dining room space as well. The spa-like bathrooms with walk-in tiled showers are a dream— and washers & dryers to help things run smooth! With the ability to wind down with a quick stroll to the neighborhood grocery or the best local restaurant around, this place can’t be beat. It’s easy and sea breezy from this address and enhanced by the warm and cool colored sunsets that mingle for cotton candy effects: pinks, yellows and blues with a broad vista of longleaf pine and live oaks everywhere you turn. Visitors can end their evenings listening to the lull of the tide and the hoots of owls and watch for shooting stars in the inky black sky, far from the city lights. Travelers from near and far flock to this area for its universal appeal and the pristine beauty of The Cape Lookout National Seashore —it’s simple to take a cruise of the Crystal Coast with a boat at your doorstep. At The Cape, you have the advantage of being close to neighboring towns like Beaufort and Morehead City, too, where you can visit all of the local hotspots and shops, fine dining, cafes and galleries— ghost walks and pirate tours! This place is the best of both worlds— where you have access to all the fun and activities of nearby downtown spots and can delight in the wonder of the coastal lifestyle!
