A New Inn, Handsome and Economical Our Traveler looks at Carteret, especially Sea Level's Inn. tty OLD TRIIllfli: For a spring or early summer trip, here’s a new place for you — as hand¬ some and appealing as they come. It is Sea Level Inn. a beautiful 16-unit place next door to the new Sea Level Community Hospital in east Carteret County, and in the heart of the Core Sound country. The rooms are large, Drcxel-furn- ished. with tub-shower combinations, roomy closets, twin dayette beds. Fach room has two doors — the back one opening on a terrace leading down to i he water. The inn is on the edge pf Nelson Bay. which connects with Core Sound and has ample water for siz¬ able yachts. Boats are available for fishermen, and the wading is fine for children. The back wall of each room is made of full-length, floor-to-ceiling windows and the door in the center. The lobby is spacious, glass-walled with a large fireplace. The small dining room, backed by a modem kit¬ chen, serves excellent and abundant meals. This is good for families, honey- mooners and fishermen. Also for those wishing to get away for some reading, work or rest. Quietness and comfort prevail, and if you arc convalescing, the hospital and staff are next door. The visitor here is within 3 miles of Atlantic, with its fishing guides and boats. On the way (20 miles from Beaufort) he passes through the little sound-side and riverside communities of Carteret. So from here he can do a lot of exploring — to Cape Lookout and Core Banks, just four miles away, or to Ocra- coke, via the daily ferry.
