High Tider Matchmaker

Get ready to relax in this quaint one-bedroom private home on Harkers Island. Where once lived, Ms. Hilda Guthrie, the island matchmaker – funny enough, she never got married herself. The cozy home, originally built in the 60s with a couple updates since, is nestled in the heart of the Island. Whether you're unwinding after a day of exploring or enjoying a cool breeze on the porch. This home has a lot of its original character, imperfect floors and doors. But it’s clean and ready for memories!
