Atlantic Beach, NC. Guests are sure to appreciate a memorable vacation in this cedar shake, all-wood interior, completely furnished, 4 bedroom/ 4.5 bath beach home. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, the others are furnished with a queen-sized bed, 2 twin beds and an additional enormous bedroom featuring 2 doubles. The home sleeps 8-10 comfortably. The indoor spaces feature original artwork, unique furnishings, and the kitchen is equipped with nearly new appliances and cookware. Located on the second row, the beach is just steps away. On the cavernous front porch, guests can savor ocean vistas, cool breezes and enchanting sunsets. And the best nap/ book reading in the world is to be found while calming on the front porch hanging bed. There is also a sizable side screened porch, back deck & outdoor shower.

When not on the wide, soft sand beach (less than a three-min. walk), enjoy close by attractions such as cycling in various parts of Bogue Island, touring historic Fort Macon State Park, taking boat excursions (or your own boat) to Cape Lookout National Seashore and Lighthouse and other close by islands, seeing weekly concerts at Fort Macon, visiting the colonial town of Beaufort and its waterfront scenery and eateries, the NC Aquarium, and Morehead City eateries and nightlife, savoring a Sunset drink at the bar located at the end of the close by Oceana Fishing Pier which gives a expansive view of the coastline, or water activities including kayaking, canoeing, and surfing.

The water remains warm enough for swimming well after Labor Day so consider a long-weekend as fall begins. In winter, enjoy seeing the sun set directly over the Atlantic Ocean due to the island's orientation along the coast and the location of the sun. A sight to see!

Tips to get the perfect Morehead City vacation property experience:

Finding the best value:

• To find the best rental for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Morehead City attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Atlantic Beach Classic Family Cottage has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before booking the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a particular Morehead City beach you love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
