As soon as you enter WaterDance, you’ll be captivated by it’s soaring wood-beamed ceilings and expansive windows framing spectacular views of the river. An open plan on this level houses a large family room and kitchen, connected by an eat-in bar. This great retro-kitchen offers all the modern appliances and amenities you could want. A spacious wrap-around deck opens off the family room and will b

e a favorite gathering spot with plenty of seating, tables and a gas grill. Just six steps up from the main level are three bedrooms and two full baths. Each bedroom has a queen bed, and the master suite has a study with a sofa bed that converts into a twin bed. On the ground level, you’ll find a large game room, screened-in patio, second kitschy kitchen and another bedroom with a queen bed. Perfect level for a second family, or a great place for the kids to hang out! Both living rooms and each of the four bedrooms have great views of the expansive North River. The fish and shrimp are literally jumping out of the water here! WaterDance has its own private dock, complete with fish cleaning station, running water, comfy benches and soft solar lights that respect the dark night sky out on the river. You can fish or try your luck at clamming or harvesting oysters … right from the dock! Bring your boat to WaterDance. We accept boats up to a 12" draft and you can launch your boat (up to 24') from the neighborhood boat ramp. WaterDance is pure delight for the nature-lover’s soul. More than 160 bird species have been spotted here, including painted buntings, osprey, great blue herons, red headed woodpeckers and ruby-throated hummingbirds. The night sky is magnificent on the river, with stars and planets glittering in countless numbers. And, if you’re lucky enough to be there to see the moon rise over the water, you’ll never forget it! Kayak the winding tidal creeks or head to the shores of Shackleford banks for a swim and a chance to see the wild horses. If you're in the mood to just chill, WaterDance is the perfect place. Listen to the water lapping and the birds calling.

We love to hear what our guests think about WaterDance.

"This was the perfect place for our sibling yearly vacation. We fished, kayaked, watched birds, took in the history, ate well, swam in the ocean, shopped, and enjoyed visiting on the deck. The accommodations were homey with comfy beds and close to everything we wanted to do. Extremely clean!!!!!"

We are so happy you had such a great time!

From a recent guest:
Peace, privacy, and an amazing view
This large and comfortable home is ideally located at the end of a quiet street and features a gorgeous view of the river from just about every room. The great room is a fabulous spot to unwind, and the owner thoughtfully provided binoculars for bird spotting. Bird feeders are all around the property and birds were in the yard and sailed into view out the massive front window. The kitchen is well-outfitted and a pleasure to work in. The private master suite with its own charming den/office is a luxury. As there were only 2 of us, I only went down to the huge lower level to do laundry, but clearly, a large family or gathering of friends can be easily accommodated with plenty of breathing room for all. It was off-season so we did not use the dock — a situation my husband hopes to rectify next time, with his fishing rod in hand. Beaufort has some good restaurants and we found getting out to Emerald Isle and the Cedar Island Wildlife Refuge were equally easy. But the joy is returning home to the calm and utterly relaxing environment the owners have created. It would be hard not to love this property.

From a recent guest:
This was the perfect place for our annual visit to Beaufort. It is not far from town at all (easy, straight shot right to front street), and the private yard and back deck were so peaceful. We liked that it was on the way out to Harker's Island Ferry, where we go for trips to Shackleford Banks and Cape Lookout to see the lighthouse and wild horses. And the SUNRISE from this home -- the sun rises directly off the dock, making each morning a breathtaking, peaceful opening to the day. I highly recommend this place for your Beaufort adventures!

Here's what our latest guests had to say about their stay at WaterDance:
This is a special place that envelopes you in peace and calm. WaterDance is aptly named and the sunlight sparkling on the water mesmerizes. The house was immaculate and the beds were firm, yet soft and comfortable. The kitchen is well-stocked with all the little things you need: Keurig-type coffee maker, vegetable peeler, vegetable steamer, baking dishes and baking sheets, on and on. We took the ferry from Beaufort to Bird Shoal and also did the trip to Town Marsh/Carrot Island (Rachel Carson). Bring your chair and set up a spot on the beach and then explore to your heart's content! We saw Skimmers and Royal Terns. When at Harker's Island (Core Sound Waterfowl Museum), explore the Soundside Trail (1 mile). It has a crushed gravel surface and boardwalks and is a nice spot for viewing ducks and shorebirds. We loved the "quiet side" of the Crystal Coast and would return in a heartbeat!

It's a great time to visit Beaufort NC!☺️

It's a great time to visit Beaufort NC!☺️

Its foal season! Spotted yesterday out on Shackleford Banks was this youngster. Please give them space to bond, feed and explore. For the safety of the foal and its mother stay back at least 50 feet (the length of a school bus). Use a camera with a telephoto lens to take pictures.
