By: Mary Cheatham King / 07 Nov 2025

If your idea of coastal living includes big skies, open space, and quiet water views, 221 Bayview Drive on Harkers Island is your kind of place. This unique waterfront property on just over 4 acres offers a blend of comfort, character, and possibility — whether you're dreaming of a full-time escape, a weekend retreat, or an investment on the Crystal Coast.

Inside the Home

Step inside and you're greeted by an open, light-filled main living area, where the kitchen, dining, and living room flow together with big windows and views toward the water. Easy-care LVP flooring, abundant natural light, and a relaxed layout make this space feel instantly welcoming.

This fully furnished home features:

  • 2 bedrooms, 2 baths plus a flex room that can serve as an office, bunk room, or extra guest space

     
  • A bright kitchen with plenty of counter space and open sightlines to the living and dining areas
     
  • Multiple spots to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view — from cozy corners indoors to the outdoor spaces beyond
     

4+ Acres of Waterfront Possibility

What truly sets 221 Bayview Drive apart is the land itself: roughly 4.12 acres stretching from the road all the way to the water.

Here, you'll find:

  • Room to spread out, garden, or simply enjoy the open space
     
  • A fenced yard close to the home for pets or playtime
     
  • A large metal workshop/garage
     
  • Plenty of parking for guests, coastal toys, and all the gear that comes with life by the water
     

There's also an unpermitted 2 bed / 2 bath Road Warrior camper with its own deck and covered hot tub, currently used for entertaining guests however, once it has been removed it cannot be replaced.

Life on Harkers Island

Set along Harkers Island's peaceful bayside, 221 Bayview Drive offers the kind of quiet coastal lifestyle people dream about — think salty breezes, starlit nights, and easy access to some of the prettiest water in Eastern North Carolina.

 

You're just:

  • Minutes from the ferry to Cape Lookout National Seashore, with its iconic lighthouse and wild, undeveloped beaches
     
  • A short drive from historic downtown Beaufort, where you can enjoy waterfront dining, local shops, and strolls along Taylor's Creek
     
  • Surrounded by some of the best boating, fishing, and exploring on the Crystal Coast
     

It's the best of both worlds — a quiet, tucked-away setting with easy access to everything that makes this area so special.

Investment, Retreat, or Home Base

Currently used as an Airbnb, this property already has a track record as a coastal getaway, offering built-in potential for those looking for short-term rental income or a part-time home that pays for itself when you're away.

Whether you:

  • Keep it as a weekend escape,
     
  • Transition it into a full-time home, or
     
  • Continue leveraging it as an investment property,
     

221 Bayview Drive gives you flexibility, space, and a setting that's hard to find — especially on over 4 acres of waterfront.
