This three-story home rests on a peninsula just yards from Bogue Sound and the Intracoastal Waterway. In-room amenities might include a massive whirlpool tub, a clawfoot tub or fireplace, and each of the guest suites feature a beautiful water view. The décor is done in a modern, coastal style. Multi-course, gourmet breakfasts begin with fresh juices, coffee, tea and an appetizer, perhaps a stuffed mushroom. From there, guests enjoy a fresh fruit dish followed by a creative entrée. All of which is served in suite or deckside. Museums, an aquarium, historic sites, Hammocks Beach State Park and harbor tours are among the attractions. Fort Macon State Park affords guests an opportunity to view a restored Civil War fort. Popular beaches and horseback riding are just minutes away.

When I walked into my room the first thing that hit me was the CLEAN aroma then my breath was taken away with the view of the ocean. The Inn Keepers were extremely attentive. My husband and I had a very romantic and restful weekend. The room was beautiful and looked better in person than on the internet. The in-room massage was awesome. We had a great quiet time. Can't wait until I can return again.

This Emerald Suite is nestled in a beautiful waterfront location. The three rooms, wrap-around private deck, and superior service are only a few of the amenities to make Harborlight exquisite! If you are looking for privacy and a romantic getaway, look no further.
