Whether you’re searching for a weekend getaway, second home, investment property, or simply a quiet place to escape, this low-maintenance cottage offers an easy coastal lifestyle in a beautiful setting. Inside you’ll find one bedroom, one full bath, a comfortable living area, & kitchen with bar seating. Water views can be enjoyed from every room in the cottage, keeping the beauty of the Albemarle Sound in sight throughout the home. Best of all, the screened porch provides the perfect spot to relax, enjoy the coastal breeze, and take in the waterfront setting. Heron Cottage is one of just four cottages sharing approximately 1.7 acres of waterfront common area, giving owners plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors without the upkeep of a large property. Spend your days fishing from the shared pier, grilling by the water, watching for dolphins, or simply enjoying the expansive Albemarle Sound views. HOA dues provide for maintenance of the grounds, road, pier, shared well and other items. Heron Cottage also offers an appealing opportunity for those interested in short-term rental income. During a brief Airbnb rental period from June 18 through August 15, 2026, the cottage booked 34 nights and generated over $4,500 in gross rental earnings! The owner discontinued rentals when the property was placed on the market, making this a limited but encouraging rental history. Rental performance information is available upon request. With no carpet throughout, luxury vinyl plank flooring installed in 2024 to complement the existing tile, and a new HVAC system with smart thermostat installed in December 2025, this cottage offers comfort and low-maintenance living. Being sold fully furnished, it’s ready to enjoy from day one–just bring your bags! As an added bonus, HOA dues are paid through the end of 2026, with no proration charged back to the buyer at closing. All of this in a peaceful waterfront setting less than 10 minutes from Columbia and approximately 45 minutes from the Outer Banks.
