Island hopping & fishing on Masonboro Sound

Winter fishing at its best! Pick your adventure in this 1-of-a-kind cottage on the Masonboro Island Estuarine Reserve.

Make the ~20 min paddle to experience the unspoilt beauty of Masonboro Island’s pristine, 9 mile white sand beach. Or chill on the dock (shared with owners) and take in the jaw dropping views with a glass of wine.
