Peaceful Getaway with Amazing Views - Cape Lookout & Beaufort nearby - SLEEPS 8

A true escape - Sound Escape will allow you to relax, unwind, and enjoy a revitalizing getaway at this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation rental (plus 2 sleeper sofas including one in a private sunroom), just feet from Core Sound! This fully furnished waterfront home is just minutes away from Cape Lookout. Great access to Core Banks to enjoy the beach for sun and waves or fishing and hunting. Friends and family can lounge in the over 1700 square feet of living space and on one of the three decks overlooking the water. Park your boat at the property's private dock after a day on the water!

Included with your 2+ night stay are two round trip Ferry Passes on Davis Shore Ferry Service

-- THE PROPERTY --

Master Bedroom: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Private sunroom: sofa bed | great room: Sofa bed.

Using the regular coffeemaker or Keurig, start your morning with a cup of joe on the sun porch. Overlooking the water, watch the pelicans, ducks, herons or sea gulls while enjoying the pleasant breeze coming from the Core Sound. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins playing or the occasional sea turtle.

Enjoy yoga on the sun deck or at the water’s edge (mats provided!) or sit on the dock and watch the sunrise.

Spend your afternoon on the sound, floating in the water, swimming, or using the kayaks provided. The kids will delight in being able to fish right off the dock, use a cast net or try their luck with crab pots (we have provided a couple). Catch a ride on the ferry or paddle on the kayak to Core Banks and enjoy the (arguably) best beaches on the NC coast. If you bring your own boat you can ride to the Beaufort waterfront for a dockside lunch. If you have your own 4-wheel drive vehicle you can ferry it across to Core Banks and ride to Cape Lookout lighthouse - if not, you can rent a Kubota in Davis or catch a ferry from Harkers Island to the lighthouse.

After memorable hours on the water, cook out on the outdoor gas grill, admiring the view with a drink in hand until dinner is ready. Or stay inside and whip up a fabulous feast in the fully equipped kitchen! During the meal preparations, your kids can watch their favorite shows on one of the 3 TVs.

Wrap up the day by swinging on the porch swing or riding the cruiser bikes around Davis and exploring. Watch the sunset from the West porch before settling in on the comfy furniture on the screen porch or heading inside to play some of the many games or enjoying quality time. The stargazing won’t disappoint anytime of year!

In the fall and winter, access to duck hunting doesn’t get any more convenient. Either grab the ferry or tie your boat off to the dock!

The blankets on the screened porch and the serene setting are perfect for a girls weekend too!

Enjoy a family movie night on the 4K Smart TV with cable, streaming capabilities, and a DVD player. Choose between a Netflix film or one of the 100 assorted DVDs provided!


-- THE LOCATION --

Core Sound and Down East are hidden treasures. Core Sound is south of Pamlico sound and north of Bogue sound. This region of North Carolina is blessed with a rich history that links them to the water. If you can explore the area by kayaking the sound and some of the creeks off of it, you will experience a treasure.

Downtown Beaufort, NC has been called the last true southern town left. It is just 12 miles away, where you can discover the town's parks, museums, and other tourist attractions or stroll down Front Street! While you may decide to never leave the screened porch, if you do choose to venture out, Beaufort offers a variety of activities and great local seafood, and more.

A visit to Shackleford Banks to see the wild ponies is a bit magical. If you have more members of your group needing more space, The Ferry House is just 2 doors down the sound and sleeps 11! https://www.vrbo.com/3638557?webview=ios&unitId=4212702

The house is even nicer than the photos! Its open, bright, wonderfully decorated and so many special touches throughout. The hosts have literally already though of everything. It's so quiet there, at night we could see every star and several planets. The dock was great, the view could not be improved, i cant rave about our short stay enough. Thank you, it was just what we needed for a quick reset!

The PERFECT Getaway!!
First if you are considering this place just go ahead and BOOK! Don't wait, you will not be disappointed at all. The views are perfect in the morning from the sun coming up over the sound and just as perfect in the evening with the sun going down. This home has it all, there was plenty of space for everyone. The dock was perfect from just sitting in the morning enjoying the fresh air to fishing and crabbing, we caught crabs and plenty of fish to eat as well. The screened in porch was nice for diners and just relaxing in the evenings. The house was very clean as well. The kitchen is very nice and had everything you would need to create any meal. This will be our stay for future visits Down East. The host communicates very well and very quick to respond to any questions.

Another wonderful stay!
This was our second year staying at Sound Escape. It was just as wonderful this year as it was last. We love all of Laurie’s thoughtful touches, and we made use of the ferry passes. Thank you for those! We also made a lovely meal with the pasta! We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch and on the dock. Both are very relaxing. We did have to buy a skillet as the ones there were quite used, and it would be great if the light switch in the master bedroom water closet was fixed. It was like playing a game in the dark trying to get the light to stay on :-) We hope to be back again next year!

This was our second stay and we enjoyed it as much as the first. We always bring the rain, but being on the water made it easy for my teens to fish from the dock between showers. It’s a relaxing getaway. It feels homey but with amazing views of the water. One of my sons caught enough shrimp in his net for us to boil for lunch one day. I watched from the swing on the porch!

Wonderful place for a relaxing vacation! This is absolutely the best house we have vacationed in. Everything about it was perfect. There were six of us, and we all hated to leave. From the fishing, the island hopping, the cute little sea town of Beaufort, the wild horse and dolphin sitings to the relaxing evenings star watching, playing games, or relaxing on the porch, this place is #1 in our family. Thank you for a wonderful week in your beautiful home. ❤️

Relaxing, quiet gem of a retreat
I’ve stayed here 3 times now and each time has been better than the last. It is always clean, inviting and has just what we need. The dock is wonderful for fishing, watching the sunrise/sunset, dolphin watching and just enjoying the scenery. Beds and seating areas are comfortable and cozy. Living room tv needs to be bigger though. The screened in porch is amazing and the fans make it enjoyable even in the heat.

A peaceful getaway with amazing views was an understatement! To be able to meet & enjoy a weekend full of laughter with friends, visiting friends while staying in Davis at your home was yet another memorable trip for the books! The six of us always meet over on the other side of the sound, we enjoyed sitting on the back porch overlooking the sound towards the island talking and swinging, we played cards, had dinner on Harkers Island and just enjoyed the quietness that your place brought. Laurie without a doubt met our every need and is a super host! We left knowing that we would plan another trip back soon!!
