Summary: Our stay at Lookout cottage located on Hacker Island was a beautiful place to stay. It felt like home had all the accommodations that we were looking for in a rental house ! Look out cottage is so beautifully decorated! The house alone has a great layout. We loved every bit of staying there. We would highly recommend anyone to go to Hackers Island and stay at the Lookout cottage. You won’t regret it. The island it itself is a beautiful place as well. All the people we met were so wonderful and nice. We even went to a Church service on Sunday at the Huggins memorial Baptist Church on Hacker Island And everyone was just so welcoming and friendly there . we enjoyed the service by the pastor Jason Salter it was very inspiring about mothers being Mother’s Day and all . so as I say again, my husband and I definitely are going back next year. This is the first time we’ve been there to Hackers Island and stayed at the Lookout cottage, but we are so looking forward to going back next year. We just loved it so much.

Summary: The Lookout Cottage is an absolute gem! Thank you for thinking of everything when stocking the home, it was perfect! Our family rented the cottage to spend the weekend on Harkers Island for our daughter’s wedding at a nearby church. The house was literally around the corner from our daughter’s home and around the corner from the church, and a 2 minute drive to the reception venue. It was the perfect location for us, and such a cozy retreat. Thank you!

Summary: One of our best family vacations! House is beautiful and has everything you need for a family stay. Plenty of space, very clean, well decorated with a perfect central location to explore several other areas like Cape Lookout, Fort Macon, and Beaufort. Kitchen is well stocked to cook meals for the week and the house is large with good air conditioning and comfortable beds for everyone. Nice views from each floor too. House is located within a community so no “touristy” stuff and it’s quiet! The kayaks, ping pong table, beach gear, lawn games, and hammock are nice touches to feel at home. There is a nice little public beach down the street that little ones can find crabs and little fish at with beautiful sunsets. We kayaked one night at sunset and saw dolphins playing around us - it was amazing! At the end of the island is a ferry that you can take to Shackleford Banks or Cape Lookout. If you pick only one, we recommend SB. The wild horses are stunning and the shelling was outstanding. We snorkled and found so many awesome shells and explored the island for hours. Fort Macon is a short drive away and a hidden gem with a clean public beach & free parking, bathrooms, and great shelling and waves. The water is crystal clear and absolute paradise. Beaufort offers many little shops and restaurants that we enjoyed as well. If you want a more tourist feel, Atlantic beach is not far and has lifeguards. We enjoyed our entire stay and felt lucky to find such a gem. Thank you!

Summary: Harkers Island has been a hidden treasure for my entire life going back to visiting my grandparents on the island. The house was everything and more. It was very well furnished and stocked. Every time we thought we might to need X , we would find it in the house. The house was very comfortable from the beds to the couch. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in. We are looking to come back in the future!!
