It functions as a true second living room, usable across all four seasons on the Inner Banks. Grace Harbor is a 400-slip protected inland-basin marina rated among the finest stops on the entire Intracoastal Waterway, a proven hurricane hole with floating ipe docks accommodating vessels to 150 feet, with immediate access to the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound.
