Anchors Aweigh

Newly renovated and perfect for couples or families. I grew up in this house, completely renovated it, and wanted to share both the home and the area I grew up in with others. Enjoy beautiful views of Bogue Sound at the end of the road, with several places in the neighborhood to enjoy sunrises/sunsets. Close to restaurants and a short drive to Emerald Isle, Swansboro, or boat ramps if you want to get out and explore the water. Toss your anchor and book your stay at "Anchors Aweigh".
