In late 2007, we fulfilled a dream by purchasing a waterfront condo, a weekend getaway.  Our condo is located at Day Beacon in Belhaven, NC, right on the intracoastal waterway (ICW).  We also got back into boating after a nearly 30-year hiatus!

Day Beacon consists of four buildings, each with 9 units, spread over three floors.  All are brand new, and the whole project was really a victim of great idea, wrong timing.  As of mid-2009, half the units are still available.  Belhaven is a sleepy farming down in Eastern NC, but it has a lot of waterfront.  This is the first attempt at condos, and assuming it's successful (as the economy recovers), it is paving the way for other similar projects. 

Each 2-bedroom unit is well constructed, complete with sprinkler system in each unit and elevators.  When you buy a condo, a boat slip is included, and there is a pool.  Prices are far more reasonable than, say, New Bern or other more established waterfronts.  The town even has a grocery store, gas stations, drug stores, 4+ restaurants, liquor store, wine store, video store, etc., so even though it has a small town flavor, it has basic amenities.  Belhaven is a straight shot from Raleigh all the way on the same good road, Rt 264.

Additional units are still available, so please use the link on my home page to contact me for further information if you would be interested in learning more!
