About this property
Walk to beach / Cozy 3-Bedroom /Wrap-around deck
ESCAPE to this 3-bedroom, cozy home! Come inside to a great spacious living, dining/kitchen with two private bedroom areas, (one side has master, and second side has two guest bedrooms both with privacy), washer and dryer! Step outside to the wrap-around deck on private lot surrounded by trees for a tranquil experience (to read a book or enjoy a glass of wine or coffee). This beach house is located in cozy, non-tourist Pine Knoll Shores, so you can enjoy a peaceful vacation. Yet, it is close to the aquarium, dining, nightlife and shopping in Atlantic Beach & Morehead City. Close proximity to beach, causeway and golf course! Bringing Kids is highly recommended, but “NO PETS”!)

Wonderful property in a great location. Just a short walk to the beach. Clean and well located in a quiet neighborhood. Will definitely stay again next time I am in town.
We’ve been coming to our friend’s house for the last 3 years with our family, and every time has been wonderful thanks to the comfort and amazing location of this home. We’ll keep coming back every year—huge thanks to Jeff and Patty for another great stay!The house is in a perfect spot, surrounded by everything you might need. It’s a family-friendly and welcoming place, perfect for a relaxing getaway.

Thanks for choosing our home for your family vacation. We love the area, and while not on the water, we are steps away. With all the available homes to rent, we are happy you continue to choose ours.
The house was great for a family vacation. The number of DVDs was impressive and we enjoyed hanging out in the evenings. Ten minute easy walk to beach. Lovely that it was a community beach and not crowded. Would stay here again.

We appreciate you staying at our home for your vacation!
Home is beautiful and just as described. Would definitely stay there again, very peaceful and quiet. Little bit of a walk to beach access but well worth the walk. At night can sit on front deck and listen to the ocean waves roll in. Couple miles from food store and shopping plaza which was very convenient. Thank You for sharing your home with my family.

We appreciate you staying at our home for your vacation!
The property was close to family with a home at Pine Knoll Shores. Beach access was convenient as well as restaurants and grocery stores. The indoor space worked for our group of 5. It would have been nice with more substantial outdoor seating and an umbrella because the deck was quite sunny. The place was clean but there was a significant pest issue. I understand that can be common at the beach. Definitely would recommend staying on top of it with routine pest control. Other than that, the place was comfortable and met our needs.
We found this sweet cottage home across the main road from the beach. The beds are comfortable and bedrooms and bathrooms are nice and updated. The kitchen is not equipped for cooking and needs updated items such as; cookware/serving/storage/etc. The inside of the cabinets were not neat nor clean. Not a big deal if you are eating out. Ziplock bags saved the day.The walk to the beach is 7 minutes at a normal pace by walking a few houses on the main road to a side street leading to the beach access (1 long block). There was not a pull cart available, we managed just fine (2 adults).The beach is not crowded at the neighborhood access, very nice.Overall, it was a lovely stay and a great location.

Thanks for the feedback! We appreciate it along with you choosing our home to stay. There is a cart to pull chairs in the utility building in front of house. I’m telling you this in case you stay again with us. Again, thanks for choosing our home for your vacation!
The property was very clean, beach-y decor (but not over the top), cute, comfortable, well equipped. Beds were comfortable.
The house and property both felt very roomy. The property site was large and added to privacy. Nice backporch.
The walk to the beach, door to toes in ocean, was about 7 minutes, at low tide. Potential renters should note, however, that half of the walk is down the main road, ie, quite busy, with no sidewalk. For my teen son and I, this was ok during the spring. Families with younger children should know this, especially during busier summer months, when I imagine the highway could be stressful crossing.
Overall, very nice stay.

Failure in execution
We arrived at 6:30pm to a property that had not been cleaned and was not terribly dirty but clearly with recent guests.
We called the property manager and someone was out to clean within 2.5 hours. It didn’t quite make for a very smooth check-in and both VrBO and the owner said we would be compensated for the delay but then no refunds were ever issued. So it was a failure in execution twice.

First of all, thanks for your feedback. We did make a mistake and had not realized we had a guest. However, we quickly called our cleaning company to get the place properly cleaned. Thankfully, my family had used the house prior to this guest and the place was decent. We contacted VRBo and asked what would be reasonable and customary, and we told VRBO based upon their feedback to issue a night stay credit. They gave this credit to him. He wanted the full week refunded because he had another free place to stay and he offered a 5-star in conjunction with this. We followed VRBO policy. We do not deserve a 3 star for this incident. What we gave the guest was reasonable and fair!
Our stay was great! Within walking distance if a public beach access point with cross walk, if you don’t mind about a mile walk. Having never rented before, I wish I had looked around the house and property when we got there, just so I knew where everything was. My only wish was that the house rules were visible upon entry - they were hidden under some magazines. I would definitely rent this property again!!
I’ll be honest, treating it like a hotel rental I did not do my due dilligence and contact the owner for the check in information before I left for the trip, luckily the neighbor has the contact information and I was able to reach the owner and get inside the property. For what it is the place offers you a lot. There is a DVD player and movies for you to watch at night. Personal parking is nice. They have towels laid out for you. There’s plenty of things for you that if you went and got your own food you could have a comfortable and convenient stay if you didn’t want to eat out. The place was clean and the bed were comfortable. I disliked the plumbing job on the toilet in the side set of bedrooms, but other wise the place was great. My family loved it and would love to stay again.
Perfect family home. The convenient location allowed us to take advantage of the different excursions in the area. The shady yard gave everyone a respite from the sun. The beach cart came in handy for family beach trips.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay! I had 2 elderly family members with me, and it was very easy for them to get around in the house! The decor was beautiful! We loved sitting outside. I have nothing bad to say about the home! The beach access is a little walk but nothing crazy. There weren't a lot of people there which was nice, and they even have a water spout to clean off in the yard before going back inside. The house is so close to everything. We look forward to going back again!
This property was clean with easy access to the beach. It is secluded by trees. I would stay again.
