If
you prefer to live at the beach,
then you will enjoy Bogue
Banks in Carteret County. It is a continuous barrier
island that is approximately 25 miles long. It includes Atlantic
Beach,
which the locals call the Main beach or the circle. A developer has
planned to make some upscale changes to this area. Pine
Knoll Shores is west of Atlantic Beach and is a planned
community sensitive to the delicate ecology of the Maritime
Forest that surrounds it. Leaving Pine Knoll Shores
west you will come to Indian
Beach.
It is known for its beautiful beaches, sunbathing, surf
fishing and water sports. Next you will find Salter
Path.
Many locals credit the early residents with bringing shrimp
into the culinary limelight. Emerald
Isle,
at the west end of Bogue Banks, is a vacation spot with plenty to do
for the entire family. The town offers many beach accesses
for
the locals and visitors.
It is a favorite spot for
visitors traveling by car or boat. Down
East
is a local name for the land that stretches from the North
River on the
east side of Beaufort to Cedar Island which marks Carteret Counties
Northeastern boundaries. The portion of U.S. 70 that runs through
Down East is a North
Carolina Scenic Byway.
This quiet drive is well worth the travel as you will view
picturesque scenery such as marshes, canals and undisturbed places
filled with wildlife.
If you are looking for a little bit of Paradise, then the Crystal Coast is your place to live. Morehead City is centrally located and minutes away from the pristine beaches, world class fishing, excellent seafood, scuba diving, history and of course a quality of life that you deserve.

Morehead City NC Seafood Festival for 2008 was a Great Success!
This years Morehead City NC festival could not have been any better. The weather was absolutely perfect with sunny skies and cool weather. If you have never been, mark your calenders for next year. Everyone has a great time and there is truly activities for all ages. And best of all, it is free.
The North Carolina Seafood Festival is a non-profit organization of Carteret County citizens and business people, in conjunction with the Town of Morehead City. It helps to recognize the importance of Seafood to Eastern North Carolina.
The availability of fresh seafood in the state and even the nation, would be greatly impacted without the fleet of commercial fishing vessels that come from Carteret County. One of the festivals goals is to recognize the many who have given their lives in their occupation and to thank those who do it today. Make it one of your goals to go to the "Blessing of the Fleet." This is a ceremony to recognize all our past and present fishermen and all they have contributed to our communities.
Don't miss out on next years events!

Vickie was everything you could ask for in an agent. If she did not know the answer, she found out. We always felt she was very much on top of things. If it hadn't been so, I don't know if we would have closed. We will certainly recommend her to others when we get the opportunity!

Just a note to let you know that Vickie Barrington has been wonderful to work with. I can't imagine that anyone on your staff could or would have done a better job. Your'e lucky to have her on your staff. (This was written to my broker-in-charge)
Linda B.
As you know, we were out of state, but Vickie was able to make everything happen like clockwork! No Problems. It was a very pleasant experience. We can't wait to visit our new waterfront home.
Claire R.
The seller's agent was telling us how great it was to work with you and how professional and prompt you were with information and paper work. We agree with her and think you were the best! Thank you for all your help with purchasing our beach home.
Jackie T.
The selling of our home was made very stressful due to a family members illness. Vickie's understanding and support helped us get through it and survive. She responded not just as an agent but also as a caring friend. Thank you!
