A memorable getaway awaits you at this 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom vacation rental apartment inside ‘The Smithonia By The Sea Vacation Rentals and Events Home,’ a large home nestled beside the Core Sound and Outer Banks of Marshallberg. With spacious decks, a fully equipped kitchen, and splendid water views, this lovely home ensures a relaxing stay!
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!
June, the property manager, was awesome! I think if we'd have brought mosquito spray and mucking boots due to heavy moisture in the area, it would have been perfect. Nice quiet spot for my husband and I and tons to do in the area.

Beaufort, Atlantic Beach and Morehead are about 20 - 30 minutes away. The lower apartment was comfortable but, we didn't realize that there was a family renting above us. They were very noisy or the walls are very thin. They also had 2 large dogs that obviously did not like other people outside of their owners and one of the dogs jumped the make-shift barrier and charged at my husband and I. When the family would leave the dogs would run all through the house barking and wining.

Hi Janet, we want all of our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we're sorry that you experienced issues with the neighbors and their dogs during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following: We're so sorry that we only heard about the dogs upstairs being an issue for you during your stay on your last day here. We wish we heard about it earlier, like when I checked in mid-week so that I could have addressed the issue while you were in residence! We feel terrible about this incident with the barricades happening that the dogs scared you your husband. We'll be implementing a new rule requiring all animals to be on a leash when outside since we'd like to keep our home a pet-friendly vacation spot. Thanks for letting us know about your stay!
Enjoyed our stay, everything we wanted and more! Perfect for our dog too! Thankful we found this place!

Property was clean and as described. Communication was excellent. Had a very nice, relaxing vacation. Waking up to the quiet neighborhood and able to walk out to the deck and watch the water was heaven. Thank you, we will be back.
