Stacy offers salt-sprayed coastal quiet along Core Sound, with big skies, broad marshes, and a pace set by tides and seasons. Along scenic NC 70 between Davis and Atlantic, residents launch skiffs at daybreak, scan for waterfowl in winter, and swap seafood recipes on porches by dusk. Adventure sits close by: hop toward Harkers Island for the ferries to Cape Lookout National Seashore, explore decoy heritage at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center, or take the Cedar Island–Ocracoke ferry for a day on open water. Everyday errands and dining expand in nearby Beaufort, while county services are anchored across Carteret County. Wild shorelines and productive estuaries around Cedar Island lure anglers, paddlers, and birders year-round.
Families benefit from Carteret County Public Schools, with Down East campuses that keep class sizes manageable and community tight-knit. Teens commonly matriculate to East Carteret High School, and middle-grades students are served at Down East Middle School, both known for spirited athletics and hands-on marine science opportunities. Whether you’re seeking a waterfront cottage with room for a skiff or a low-maintenance home that makes weekend getaways effortless, Stacy blends authenticity with access to some of the coast’s most extraordinary natural assets.
