Maison

You will enjoy the casual, open floor plan in this spacious 2-story home. It receives a great deal of sunlight throughout the day.

All rooms are waterfront except the bathrooms. A fully equipped kitchen adjoins the dining/living area, which exits to a covered porch overlooking the water. The master suite has a king size bed, walk-in shower, whirlpool for 2, private WC, and laundry. The guest room has a private bathroom (walk-in shower, no tub) and a queen size bed. It adjoins the TV room with its 60" plasma display.

A 20' x 20' upstairs loft provides a sitting area with a wall of west side window, king size bed, queen size sofa bed, spacious bath with shower/tub, and a private deck giving wide-angle water views.

The house, completed in 2004, measures 4400 sq. ft./408 sq. meters. You’ll have broadband Internet access, cable TV, barbecue grill, and loads of reading material.

We enjoy taking our early morning coffee while we observe the herons and songbirds congregate just a few yards/meters away. This is matched only by savoring "happy hour" at sunset, when the sky grows vivid with colors that reflect upon a broad river beyond the marsh. It can be yours to experience.....

Quartier

We’re located on a small peninsula called Heron Point. A tidal marsh abuts our back yard and adjoins the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. We overlook a 2.5-mile expanse of water.

The house is an easy 7 minute drive from Beaufort. Our neighbors are older, well traveled, friendly yet not intrusive. It's completely safe here for walking & biking. We've no public transportation, thus our car can be included in an exchange. Besides the beach (25 min.), we have 4 golf courses nearby.

Located at the southern tip of the Outer Banks, Beaufort was founded in the 1720s and is home to about 4000 residents. Its friendly pubs and shops, galleries, maritime museum, fine waterfront restaurants, impressive tree-lined historic district, and proximity to Cape Lookout National Seashore & lighthouse all contribute to its popularity. The nearby aquarium is really world-class. Pleasant day trip options include deep-sea fishing off the coast, ferrying to Ocracoke Island, or a 40-mile drive to New Bern’s colonial governor’s Tryon Palace & Gardens. A terrific overnight would encompass the Outer Banks town of Kitty Hawk, where flight by man began in 1907.

You won't lack for active or calm pastimes here, or socializing with locals, if you'd prefer!

À propos de nous

We are Kay (60) and John (70). Kay is a university professor, working totally online and loving the flexibility it allows. She enjoys gardening and music. John is a semi-retired computer consultant/photographer. He savors music of all types, photography, and reading about science and history. He's a Beaufort native and likes all things coastal.

We have 3 cats that can stay outdoors (though they will appreciate water and food!). Should you take an overnight trip during your visit, a neighbor can feed and water the cats. We would be grateful if you would water a few indoors plants. We're happy to do the same at your house.

We are very eager to travel more since Kay works online now. We are ready to go just about anywhere - we appreciate antiquities, villages, old churches, bookshops, museums and galleries, meeting local people, and simply enjoying scenery.

We'll reply promptly to any responses.

Destination

We have enjoyed 3 exchanges so far, and are flexible as to location, especially Europe. We'd also welcome offers from New York City or Boston or Chicago. We're interested in the American West as well (Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, Nevada, Utah...).

We hope to hear from you and will respond promptly to all inquiries.
