A stay at Lookout Cottage offers a front-row seat to the beauty and culture of North Carolina’s “Down East” coast — where life moves a little slower, and the water is always calling.

Looking for a serene vacation spot? Whether you're into fishing, shelling, or simply slowing down, Lookout Cottage is your peaceful retreat. This bright, modern home offers water views from almost every window, and the outdoor decks are perfect for enjoying the coastal breeze.

Ideal for couples traveling together or families who appreciate privacy, each bedroom has its own bathroom. After a beach day, unwind in the spacious great room or cook up a coastal feast in the well-stocked kitchen.

Deeded water access is just across the street. While the beach here is tidal (and sand may come and go), you’ll find plenty of shells and treasures to collect. Water shoes are recommended for swimming.
