Sea Haven is a cavernous, seven-bedroom, five-bathroom, two-kitchen oceanfront beach home that is located in handsome Atlantic Beach. The home lies in a peaceful, calming neighborhood, yet still sits within walking distance of the Atlantic Beach Boardwalk and a fishing pier with a wide variety of activities and eateries available. The beach in front of the home is relatively peaceful and secluded, and you will often find yourself alone with your thoughts in the early morning. This broad beach escape is 3 stories high and an AMAZING value for such a big place!

The main home is on the 2nd and 3rd floors. It is entered through stairs on the parking side, or via the deck stairs on the ocean side. The 2nd floor has a entryway, full kitchen, dining area, living room, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a washer/dryer. The 3rd floor has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, with one of the bedrooms offering a modest breakfast table overlooking the ocean.

The 1st-floor unit is entirely self-sufficient, with a separate entrance, another full kitchen, two more bedrooms, 2 baths, and a washer/dryer. This floor is wheelchair accessible through the ground-level french doors next to the parking area. It’s a great unit for people who can’t climb stairs, or want a separate unit away from the traffic in the main home. This floor has a “game room” with a professional-grade air hockey table and TV.

Bedrooms: there are enough beds to sleep 18 people in 7 separate rooms. The bed layout is as follows:

1st Floor: Bedroom #1 has a queen bed and a private bathroom. Bedroom #2 has a Double bed and a private bathroom. There is a den/game room on this level with a TV as well as an additional dining area, an additional full kitchen, and another washer/dryer. This floor has a private entrance from outside, so it can be used as a entirely independent apartment.

2nd Floor: Bedroom #3 is oceanfront, and has a king bed, a TV, and access to a shared bathroom. Bedroom #4 has a queen bed, a TV, and access to a shared bathroom. This floor has the kitchen, living room, TV, a DVD player, and deck access. You will also find the main dining area and the main completely-equipped kitchen.

The other bathroom on this floor is located between the bedrooms for convenient access (Jack & Jill style, with the bathrooms, entered through the bedrooms). The 3rd-floor bathroom is also located between the bedrooms. On the 1st floor, each bedroom has its own adjoining bathroom.

Main Floor Shower/Faucet Instructions: Gently, pull the lower of the two handles towards you to turn the shower on. Then turn the handle to the left or right to adjust the temperature.

The deck is exceptionally sizable at over 500 square feet and has an attached outdoor shower shed (groundwater temperature). There is also a covered 400 square foot porch with two huge picnic tables, which are great for inclement weather or for just getting out of the sun. The view is unmatched...Sea Haven faces due south on an east-west beach, so during certain times of the year, you can appreciate both a sunrise and a sunset from the same location (this is one of the few beach locations in the US where this occurs). From the steps of the deck, the waves at high tide are only about 15 yards away.

Linens and towels included with beds made (weekly stays only).

Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Atlantic Beach. To get the best value, try changing your family's Morehead City vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Choosing and booking a perfectrental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Sea Haven, Oceanfront House in Atlantic Beach, NC! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
