Our home is located in the Down East area of Carteret County. We're on the coast, so there's tons of water-related activities!!

Our home is located in the area called Down East, which is part of the Outer Banks National Scenic Byway. The area was chosen due to the natural landscape and, specifically, the community-based culture of the thirteen communities that comprise Down East.

Beach area is within 1/2 mile offering opportunity to savor water sports. Located on the shore of Harkers Island is a nice stretch of beach appreciated by many locals and visitors. It is very kid-friendly with a gorgeous shoreline. Parking is limited, so get there early!!

Kayak units are available 1/8 of a mile from our home at Down East Kayaks. Prices are very reasonable. They deliver and pick up the kayaks for you! www.downeastkayaks.com

Cape Lookout National Seashore ferry is within 4 miles. The ferry will take you to Cape Lookout Lighthouse and surround beach areas. You let them know the time you want to return, and the ferry will be at the dock to pick you up! You can choose to go to the Lighthouse side of the park or Shackleford Banks island.
Take food, umbrellas, water and anything else you would like to have with you on the beach. Rest room facilities are available at the lighthouse but the visitors center only sells water and a limited amount of snacks.

Shackleford Banks is home to 130 wild ponies and they are pretty to observe from a distance. Remember - they are wild so follow the rules that are posted on the island.

Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center is located on Harkers Island, roughly 4 miles from our home. The museum contains an impressive collection of Down East history, duck hunting, and culture.

A little further away is Cedar Island Horse Stables. There you can rent horses to ride along the beach. It's a humongous hit with the visitors. The drive is about 30-40 mins. from our home but well worth the trip.

You can appreciate our deck with table/chairs facing the back yard.
Space is supplied if you bring along your boat!!

Beaufort, Morehead and Atlantic Beach are within a 30-min. drive. A few of the attractions are Fort Macon State Park, Fort Macon beach area, tons of stores and eateries for you to choose from.

Available at our home is a book containing a thorough listing and description of these attractions as well as local eateries !

Morehead City rental home tips and tricks:

Get the best rental home value:

• The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your Morehead City vacation in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the perfect rental home in the Morehead City area:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Coastal SeaClusion Vacation Rental is located in Down East, Carteret County, NC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Morehead City vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, call the host before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.
• If there's a specific Morehead City attraction you are enamored with, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
