The Salty Cottage at 6th-Downtown Morehead Historic Gem-Waterfront District!
Welcome to your perfect getaway in the heart of Morehead City's vibrant waterfront district, The Salty Cottage at 6th! Built in 1910, this stunning 2300 sq. ft. home offers 4 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, and unbeatable views of both the water and the nearby Katherine Davis park. Step outside and rest awhile on your huge front porch with plenty of rocking chairs! Enjoy socializing and plan your fun vacation day ahead, or relax and recoup after a long day of offshore fishing. Or if you desire a little more privacy, head out back to the fully fenced in yard with a pergola, hanging outdoor lights, comfortable seating and dining, and mature peach, pear, and fig trees. There's a gas grill out back to cook up all that fish you just caught! Head Downtown and check out the boutique shops, spas, yoga and art studios, world-famous offshore fishing docks, including the Big Rock Blue Marlin weigh station and the Blue Marlin fountain commemorating every winning boat in the tournament since it's start! Don't forget to grab a selfie with the Mer-Man! Enjoy a seafood dinner at one of the many top notch restaurants, (The Catch, Redfish Grill, Full Circle, The Sanitary, and more), many with a water view.

Reviewer Comments:
I rented this lovely home for my goddaughter and her bridal party for a weekend of fun. They absolutely loved the house from the minute they entered. Each day, they walked to local shopping boutiques and fabulous restaurants, such as Catch 109 and Redfish. Also in the evening, they enjoyed walking over to Rock the Docks, a dueling piano bar, and to Jacks for a little dancing. In addition, they loved the location to Beaufort for more shopping and restaurant dining. The home was perfect for the six girls! They also commented that their communication with the property manager, Heather, was on point! TY!
