You will appreciate this classic beach home that sits right on the ocean with upstairs and downstairs porches affording striking vistas and ocean access! It is comfortable and cozy, old school, with no frills, but with all that is needed for a fun stay at the beach in a super location.

There are 2 full baths with showers, a third bath with a claw foot tub, and another half bath.

The downstairs master has private bath and king bed. The upstairs has 4 bedrooms, 2 with king size beds. One of the king rooms also has 3 twins and is usually claimed by our grandchildren. The other 2 bedrooms upstairs have queen size beds. There is a full bath with shower upstairs as well as a half bath.
Additionally, there is an outdoor shower which we all seem to prefer in the summer. All linens are supplied, towels and sheets, as well as a outfitted kitchen, including mixer, blender, processor, toaster, coffee maker, pots/pans and cooking silverware. There are games, books and puzzles that tend to accumulate over the years. Bikes, beach games/toys, rafts etc camp out in the basement/garage. The washer/dryer are in the basement as well. Most of our time is spent on the porch and front deck, overlooking the ocean. There is most often a phenomenal breeze and always a spectacular view. A gas grille can be rolled out of the garage for grilling. A second refrigerator is in the basement which comes in handy for additional drinks, overflow food and a little additional freezer space.
This home has been in our family a very long time and our memories from all the years are rich. It is an old classic, which we appreciate, and very comfortable, inviting you to relax and appreciate your stay at the beach. You can feel the adore when you walk in the door. The location is super, in a very friendly, family aligned neighborhood. Conveniently, groceries, eateries and stores are all within a mile.

How to get the best Morehead City rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

Summer is high season in Atlantic Beach. Booking your Morehead City vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning, picking, and booking the perfect Morehead City rental:

First, have your family choose the best dates and a maximum budget.

Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. If not, call the property manager before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.

Have a wonderful stay:

Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
During arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.

Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.

Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
