Ell's Room

Come stay with us in Ell's Room! Clean, comfortable, unique studio apartment in private home. Kitchen has air fryer/convection oven/toaster oven and small hot plate. Washing machine and drying rack in bathroom. Stocked with everything you'll need for an amazing island vacation. Pet friendly.
The space
The house is an old fishing cottage with multiple additions put on over the years to house the owners' growing family. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside has recently been renovated into two units, a studio (Ell's Room) and a two bedroom (Papa's Place). Both have been updated with new heating/cooling units, Wifi, new bathrooms, etc. There is a shared patio out front with a dining table for 4 and two Adirondack chairs for guests in Ell's Room and a private space around the side of the house. There are a few outbuildings (an old garage and shed) on the property. It's definitely 'rustic' outside but very comfortable inside and in a great location for getting around the island. We priced it accordingly and it's a great value for the money. Please reach out if anything is not to your liking and we hope you enjoy your stay!
Other things to note
The owners manual for the heating/cooling split, air fryer/toaster oven and washing machine are in the kitchen cabinet closest to the bathroom wall. I keep the temperature set around 70 and set to 'dry' to keep moisture down. Feel free to adjust to your liking but keep it on 'dry' rather than 'cool' if possible. If it's not cool enough feel free to switch to the cool setting during your stay. The washing machine is 'technically' a washer/dryer combo but the dry cycle only really works for very small, light loads. If you use it I would strongly suggest drying your items outside.

There is no recycling on the island (I know, it's terrible) so all trash can go in the black garbage bin outside the door. There is a local dump just off the island where recycling can be dropped off.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be close to Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center.

The location was perfect for our ferry ride to Cape Outlook. Michelle was super friendly and went out of her way to make sure that our visit was unforgettable. My 3 year old wants to know when we are going back!

Family vacation
My husband and I loved the space. It was beautiful inside and well layed out for a small space. This property allows pets and we couldn't have been more grateful for the opportunity to bring our dogs with us. It was very affordable.

Hidden Gem!
My husband and I booked a 4th of July/Anniversary getaway at Ell's Room in Harker's Island and had a fantastic stay! Ell's Room is truly a gem. It is a cozy studio apartment in a beautiful community. The property manager Michelle is very sweet and communicative. The property is clean, comfortable, and in close proximity to dining (restaurant just up the road), the ferry to Cape Lookout, as well as many beaches and outdoor activities. We definitely plan to stay here again!

Michelle, a happy woman host greeted us and let us know information about the place we were staying and the surrounding areas. Elise the peaceful, clean extended room with warm tones and tasteful furniture was were we stayed. which Yhe simply sweet two rooms had everything you needed for your stay, a place to eat, talk, rest , cook.sleep and a bathroom. We rested, met the locals at a convenient, tasty, friendly one of a kind resteraunt. Elise, the extended back apt.was near a Dollar General for snacks and bottled water for our day trips and close to a trail to walk near the Waterfowl Museum. Michelle, our host was very personal making us feel quite at home and comfortable. The backyard had a table and chairs and a firepit, we sat at both areas but watched the full moon and took in all the many stars. I even did yoga outside prior to going to bed, but should of put more bug spray on. Thank you, I hope to visit again and walk more since we had a injued hubby and used our car more on this trip.Elise, the back apt has a great staff and was more than I expected. Thank you for all your hard work and hospitality. SWalker
