Great location - beautiful property!
This was my second stay in the Kayak Kabin. It is such a peaceful setting and the house is spotless and beautifully decorated. It has every amenity imaginable. The hot tub was a bonus. I contacted the host with a question and received a response within a couple of minutes. We would love to return in warmer weather to take advantage of kayaking and all that Emerald Isle has to offer.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Getaway!
We had a wonderful time at the Kayaker and Bird Watchers Dream Home. We usually come and stay in the area to visit our daughter and family for Thanksgiving. The house had an open floor plan that I like so we can be all together to eat and relax. We LOVED the view from the back decks, inside the house and down to the dock. It was fantastic. We enjoyed playing games at the dining room table, having the kitchen island counter provided extra seating and a place to serve food. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals. The beds were comfortable, and the house was very clean upon our arrival. We enjoyed the hot tub, and it was clean and ready to use when we got there. The grandchildren enjoyed crabbing and was lucky enough to catch five of them. You could watch the flotilla boat parade from the front porch. The traffic did not bother us. You cannot hear it from inside the house and even when you are out back. Not an issue for us. We would stay here again and would recommend. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Great family holiday and memories were made.

Amazing, wonderful, relaxing and absolutely beautiful.
The location of this home on the water was the highlight of this property, which is saying a lot because there are so many wonderful aspects of this home! The views are heavenly, whether you are getting them from the highest point of the home on the beautiful porch, or down below sitting comfortably in the spotless hot tub. When you pull in initially, you are coming off of a main road, however don’t let that deter you because what’s behind the house is the gem!!! You are not far from any grocery stores or shopping that you may need to do while being immersed in a beautiful natural environment. Best of both worlds. My intention for this stay was a relaxing birthday weekend for my son, who I was visiting. He absolutely loved it, mission accomplished! He slept 12 hours both nights because it was so very comfortable there. He said he couldn’t believe how long he slept. The bedding was very comfortable. The kitchen is absolutely beautiful, and contained everything I needed to make some terrific meals. The appliances were all new, and everything was completely spotless. This house has plenty of space inside, a beautiful green yard, a great patio, decking, and even a beautiful pier out into the saltmarsh. There is no shortage of wildlife to include beautiful birds, fish jumping out of the water, crabs, etc. We took the kayaks out, which was so much fun. The hosts were terrific, friendly and very responsive to my communication. Highly recommend and will return!

Race week getaway
We came down to race at Carteret County Speedway and enjoy the beach. Plenty of parking, 10 mins from beach or track, plenty of restaurants. The dock/pier out to the water was great. Sunrises and sunsets! This is a great location!

Wonderful Week at Kayak Kabin
Our family (2 adults and 6 children) had a wonderful stay at Kayak Kabin! The pictures don’t do it justice. The dock was beautiful to sit on during the mornings and evenings. The location was perfect! Thank you so much!

House on the highway
The house was very clean and comfortable, stocked with everything we needed. However, other reviews mention that it’s on a busy road; I would say that’s an understatement. The road is a major 4 lane highway that stays busy 24/7. The business next door starts at 3am with super loud machinery banging for several minutes. Trying to watch the birds and drink my morning coffee on the dock but was distracted with traffic noise- it’s also visible from the dock. We certainly made the best of it- enjoyed the ferry to Bear island, Emerald Isle beach, Golfin Dolphin- but it wasn’t the peace and quiet I envisioned from the listing. Good place to stay as long as you’re aware of what you’re getting.
