Beautiful Waterfront Home W/ Sleeping Porch on the Neuse River, outdoor shower.

Perched on a bluff overlooking the Neuse River, nestled among ancient oaks and pines –you'll discover the magic of Journey's End. The shared 70' Dock is ample for relaxing, fishing and enjoying sunsets in the evening and coffee in the mornings. Conveniently located between Camps Seagull and Seafarer, the cottage is only 10 minutes away from Oriental, the sailing capitol of North Carolina. A free ferry ride across the Neuse and a short drive will take you to Beaufort, Morehead City, and the world-renowned beaches of the Crystal Coast. Historic New Bern is just up the river, and the tri-county area has an abundance of restaurants – from Mom'n'Pop shrimpburgers to 4-star International Cuisine. Journey’s End features a knotty-pine interior with three bedrooms, a large open living space, a custom built outside shower, and a fully-stocked kitchen. A sleeping porch with expansive river views and breezes will be the perfect beginning to your Journey's End. Cottage comfortably accommodates eight, and rents from Saturday to Saturday. Long-term renting available. Keywords: Cottage

Great Stay!

Loved the property. 4 of us stayed at the house and did a mix of golf in the area, Minnesot Beach CC has great golf, and we fished from the pier in the property with good success. House had everything we needed and lived the area. Many thanks to the host for their communication and attention to detail. Would definitely go back.

Perfect in every way…except one minor thing…could use a slightly larger shower. But then again, it might lessen the cottage’s charm & that certainly wouldn’t do it justice. Loved our time here.

Location was great!

Terry the owner made everything easy and comfortable. The location was perfect. We visited Bath, Washington, Oriental and Emerald Isle. We sat on the dock and watched about 8-10 dolphin swim by one day, then saw a few the next day. We watched the sail boats and fighter jets fly over. The house is very cottage like. Everything we needed was at our disposal! We napped on the sleeping porch. It was a much needed R&R vacation.

Everything included

This home was very accommodating. It had all the supplies needed. It was not the owners fault that we could not swim in the river due to the jellyfish. Our only recommendation was to have a different type of sun shade for For the deck to be able to sit out there longer during the day . She had everything That you can think of you might need for your stay from a paperclip to extra blankets to cooking utensils, trays, you name it she had it. The only negative thing was that the owner prefers you not to use the washer and dryer

This property was such an awesome place for our week long vacation. Beautiful house and dock with so many dolphins and other interesting things swimming by. We loved the location and the ferry into the tourist areas. We used the crab traps and fished off the dock daily. The provided kayaks were also a huge plus. Terry is also the very best host EVER.

Sweet little home surrounded by nature

I love staying here and waking up to the sunrise! Observing the morning light on the water without getting out of bed is great!! The ferry is down the street and gets you to Beaufort and Morehead City. You can sail in Oriental, and drive to New Bern to shop and sightsee. We did all those fun things as well as just enjoying the views of nature from our rental.

Another wonderful stay at Journey's End

This is our second time staying at this property. We love it! It is charming, cozy but with lots of space, and the attention to detail is just perfect. You feel like you are staying in a home well loved, where joyful memories and lazy days on the river flourish. I am sure I will be back for a third stay.

The Journey IS the Destination

Lovely well-appointed cottage provided a sweet spot of serenity and possibilities. Furnishings are lovely and comfortable for those lazy afternoons or settling in after a day of outdoor adventure. There is a wide variety of activities on site: bicycling about the neighborhood, swimming, kayaking, fishing and crabbing, as well as reclining, napping, and nature- and boat-watching. The cottage is close to historical and/or nautical sights and activities, and the (free!) ferry to get there if needed - google maps includes it in the route. The artists at the Village Gallery due east in Oriental are varied, talented, and prolific. There is much to see (and touch!) there with artists in-house, conveniently next to a coffee shop. My favorite things: rain on the metal roof, sunrises and sunsets out on the dock with fish jumping, cool breezes, and a welcoming 'home' to return to when we sought out adventures to the beach or sea-facing communities nearby. The favorite things of the teenagers with me: hammock, proximity to shenanigans and escapades, and flawless Wi-Fi (of course). I cannot say enough about the host and the neighbors if there are questions about anything: there is so much love and knowledge about the area. The provided Alexa was no match for that - it was only good for weather and random noises. We can't wait to plan our next getaway!

Beautiful property! An older home, but beautifully maintained and restored. Everything you need is there. My girls loved the outdoor shower and thought showering "au naturel" was fantastic! The views from the porch are amazing. Open the windows and let the river in!!!! Come and stay. Sit back and relax. Let the river speak to you!

Nicely appointed, clean cottage overlooking the Neuse River in a quiet neighborhood. The owner provided bikes and kayaks which we enjoyed during our stay. The location is perfect for day trips to beaches, quaint friendly small coastal towns, and Croatan National Forest. The cottage’s back porch provides an excellent view of the river where you can spot many different bird species, as well as porpoises, and otters. The back porch is also a great place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee or have a nice afternoon nap. The owner of the cottage is very accommodating, check-in and parking easy. We felt revitalized after our stay and appreciate all the things the owner has done to make this charming cottage so inviting and relaxing. A+++

More One Indoor House Bathroom Disclosure Is Needed Prior to Booking

The property provides access to the Neuse River from the backyard with a dock to kayak and fish. More upfront details should be provided related to one bathroom in the house and a shower outside in the yard before booking. The listing stated two bathrooms. Also, the house's bathroom has to be accessed by either walking through the connected bedroom or going through the enclosed front porch. The enclosed front porch is not heated and has windows facing the street. My family member who slept in another room was not comfortable utilizing the front porch at night or early in the morning to use the house bathroom. I would not have booked this location if I had known the details of the house bathroom.

Another perfect stay at Terry’s place

This is our third stay at Terry’s beautiful cottage. This comfortable, clean, well-equipped house on the river has been a perfect spot for our family (and friends who rented Terry’s cottage next door) to relax, unwind and refresh. Great seafood market in Oriental and the ferry for Beaufort is nearby. We walked down the street to the country club and purchased day passes to the pool one afternoon and that was fun. Kayays and bikes are also provided. Nothing but kudos for Terry’s cottage!

When we arrived at Journeys End….it was just the beginning!

Our arrival to the cabin was so easy even if it was dark and unfamiliar. As we approached the door we were greeted by the most aromatic flowers lining the entrance. Once inside, it was delightful! A real cabin feel. We enjoyed the back porch after in packing. It’s so quiet…we could hear the waves hitting the dock and we watched the fire flies dance on the plants along the property’s edge as a hill with stairs leads to the dock. We met the friendly neighbors on the street in the morning all eager to share information about their neighborhood. It rained the next evening. The raindrops played wonderful music on the metal roof. After a busy day and rides on the ferry it was a perfect end to our day. The ferry is literally just down the street. So easy access to other spots along the ocean is very acccessible. The places on the other side were nice but, no comparison to the quaint little cabin and neighborhood in Minnesott Beach. A pure delight! If you are reading this I urge you to stay at Journeys End it’s adorable and peaceful the perfect getaway!

It was exactly as you see n the pics! Decorated beautifully and very well equipped.It was built in 1909. We loved the quaintness of house and yard. It literally sits right on the water what a view, especially at sunset!. The other houses around are lacking the character of this place...they need to take lessons. The owner was wonderful to communicate with, very accommodating. I look forward to coming back!
