Spacious Outer Banks House w/ Private Dock!

*Please note that there is another vacation rental on the property and other travelers may be present during your stay*

Soak up the beautiful Crystal Coast from this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom upstairs quarters in ‘The Smithonia By the Sea Vacation Rentals and Events Home,’ a vacation rental home situated beside the Core Sound and Outer Banks of Marshallberg. With a dock, spacious decks, and a beautifully designed fully equipped kitchen, this lovely home promises a revitalizing stay!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2 (Kid’s Loft): 2 Twin Beds | Bedroom 3: Full Bed | Bedroom 4: Full Bed

Peace will overcome you as you wind up the property’s driveway, past the white picket fence and beautiful trees, and up to the large 4,000 square foot home. Built in 1905 and restored in 2009-2010, the artfully decorated ‘Smithonia By The Sea Vacation Rentals and Events House’ has 2 quarters to choose from, and this particular upstairs estate boasts accommodations for up to 8 guests in 3,000 square feet of comfortable living space.

The spacious home features 4 bedrooms, 3 and a half bathrooms, providing plenty of space for a group of friends or a family to unwind together.

With plush couches, a flat-screen cable TV, and large windows, the comfy living area offers the perfect place to lounge around during your downtime.

Pull up a tall chair to the large bar overlooking the beautifully designed kitchen. The bar seats 6 and is the perfect place for casual dining or to simply relax and enjoy a cocktail while visiting with the chef as he or she whips up any culinary delight imaginable. This beautiful Chef's kitchen is fully equipped with everything a chef needs to prepare a veritable feast. For more formal dining, there is a glass table that also seats 6 in the dining room. Both dining areas create the perfect spot to enjoy your meals with your travel companions.

If you prefer an al fresco dining experience, step out onto the deck for fresh air and beautiful views. Stroll out into the spacious yard until you reach the walk bridge, which leads to one of the longest private fishing piers in the water downeast.

Stay by the water’s edge and fish off of the dock, shared with the guest quarters on the property. View nature’s wildlife in and out of the water or rent one of the kayaks to take out on the sparkling waters.

After the day’s adventures, make your way back to the home to curl up in one of the comfortable beds. The primary bedroom offers a queen-sized bed and en suite bathroom, while the third and fourth bedroom feature full-sized beds. The loft with 2 twin beds offers games, a flat screen TV, DVD player and a small table that seats 2. The area is a relaxing space for kids or the young at heart.

-- THE LOCATION --

This Premier Estate home is not only situated on 2.5 acres right on the Outer Banks and Core Sound, but it is also ideally located within minutes of endless attractions!

Imagine retracing Black Beard the Pirate’s footsteps, just as the National Geographic have done in film and TV documentaries. A must-see is the Maritime Museum in Historic Downtown Beaufort, a mere 20-minute drive from your ‘Smithonia By The Sea Vacation Rentals and Events’ designation. The museum is accredited for their numerous contributions in the research of local maritime and downtown Beaufort history and the Crystal Coast area.

There are many local activities, sites, and tastes that you must experience while you are staying at ‘Smithonia By The Sea.’ The coastal area has some of the finest fresh caught seafood in the world, such as fresh tuna, mahi-mahi, flounder, oysters, green tailed shrimp and scallop - all available in the many five-star local seafood restaurants. As a bonus while staying at ‘Smithonia By The Sea,’ you can fish, crab, and gather oysters and clams right from the property’s dock, shared with the other rental in the house.

If boating is your thing, you can visit the Cape Lookout Lighthouse or Shackleford Banks with their wild horses at your leisure, which is just a 20-minute boat ride away. You can pack a picnic lunch and spend the day exploring the Lighthouse or pick up shells on the beach, where both the sound side and oceanside is accessible for fun in the sun and surf. Bicycle and kayak rentals are also available at the property for leisurely fun and exercise while you explore and enjoy the sites.

From the home, you’re also just 1 mile from the local boat ramp in Marshallberg and 3 miles to a newer multiple boat use ramp with ample parking at Harker’s Island. Outdoor activities abound on the Crystal Coast of North Carolina, including fishing, swimming, horseback riding, boating, kayaking, and surfing.

Throughout the year, there are also many festivals in the area, so be sure to check your calendar to see if there’s a festival during your visit, including Downeast Seafood Festival, Black Beard Pirate Invasion, Big Rock Festival, the Decoy Festival at Harkers Island and more!

Wonderful Family Stay
Our family stayed for the Thanksgiving holidays, and loved every minute of it. Beautiful property, online pics are accurate, secluded for privacy yet close enough to necessities and tourist spots. Property manager was very accessible and very helpful. Plenty of room in the house with lots of amenities and a fully equipped dream kitchen. Loved the sun rises and sunsets from the pier. It was a very peaceful, relaxing getaway for our entire family.

Great get away! Beautiful home!
We had an awesome time! Get away for mature crowd. No stores around., have to go back to Morehead or Beaufort to shop. Great fishing on the dock. Caught a variety of fish. Pathway to dock very muddy— So wear some old shoes Or rain boots to dock. Water on pathway to dock gets very high at high tide. Dock very steady! Enjoyed our trip. Would rent again!

Beautiful , Quiet Marsh Vacation
This home is set on a beautiful marsh with gorgeous waterfront views. The pier is wonderful for taking pictures and enjoying the marsh. It is a very muddy walk to the pier and the water at the pier is too shallow for boats, but we knew this going in and still enjoyed. June was absolutely wonderful and so kind. We also rented the apartment below to enjoy the privacy of this property-I definitely recommend this. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful area
There were some quirks that we didn't expect with the dock, but otherwise, we enjoyed the house and the off the beaten path location. Important to notice that you have to go through the marsh to get to the dock. Need to be prepared with water shoes or boots. We had a rainy week, so we were glad we had come prepared for the mud! Easy access to the hose to clean up when you get back. Despite the moorings for a boat, the dock is not boat friendly. We made the best of it, but it wasn't simple. The dock was lovely to sit on and fish from. We enjoyed watching birds. Easy drive to plenty of entertainment and beaches. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Home
We stayed recently at this beautiful home. It was clean and had water access a short walk to the end of the property. We loved the historical architecture and the big yard. The grill and large kitchen were also a bonus. The proximity to Hwy 70 was great, too. Highly recommend!

The house is super spacious and has everything one could possibly need. The trip to the doc is a short walk for fishing or just hanging out. My girls had a good time by the dock finding various critters and shells. We had a small issue with the water going out after a bad storm, but the owner had it fixed within 30-45 minutes of texting her! Everything was clean: beds, linens, furniture, etc. The parking was awesome for small gatherings as well. We would recommend staying here to anyone!

Beautiful classic coastal home, breath-taking views
We had a lovely restful time staying at this home. The kids enjoyed fishing and crabbing off the dock. The home is just as beautiful as the photos look! Historic Downtown Beaufort is only a short drive away. We enjoyed a farmers market on Saturday and there's an app for self guided walking tour if that's your thing. La Perla, located on Front Street, is your spot if you want a fine-dining experience in Beaufort. Bring rain boots - at times it gets a tad wet walking from the bridge to the dock.

Driving up day or night gave a home away from home combined with a luxury vacation feel!
The home is absolutely gorgeous! The long dock to fish off or watch the stars was wonderful. Even though it was warmer in the main section of the house fans provided in that part made it comfortable. This home is definitely a place to experience!

Lively house in a nice relaxing area. Close enough for a quick trip over to the beach and out to eat. Plenty of room to spread out. Really enjoyed the bikes but wish the weather would have been better for kayaking. June was very responsive to questions and concerns.
