Perfect place for a quiet weekend
The place was even better than described! It was perfect for our little family of 4. The location was exactly what we needed. Five or so minutes to the ferry, 25 minutes to Beaufort for dinner and less than 40 min away from Fort Macon. We hope to be able to stay again.

Lovely Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at the island traditions house. The hosts had thoughtfully left a basket of goodies that we all enjoyed. We loved sitting on the porch swing, grilling on the deck and spending family time together in a beautiful place! We also enjoyed the Harkers Island beach and collecfing sea shells. We would love to stay again!

Introducing new Friends to the cape
This is the perfect little house to stay in if you want a quiet getaway with access to everything. 20 minutes to Beaufort, all the essentials on the island. This is t your typical beach vacation...perfect way to experience harkers island. Host is amazing and the house is better supplied and laid out than most other rentals.

Rae thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. It was nice to spread out in 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We spent a day at the nearby island to swim and see wild horses! Dollar General is a close walk to grab anything you need.
