About this cottage rental
Graley Cottage exudes all the charm of a classic beach cottage from the 50’s but has been renovated and beautifully furnished to include all the modern conveniences. Just a short walk from the deck over the dunes to the beach and surf, Graley Cottage is oceanfront in a quiet family neighborhood on a cul-de-sac in the highly desirable Club Colony area of Atlantic Beach. It features 6 bedrooms (including two separate master suites), 6 baths, 3 separate family/tv areas (great for when the kids want to watch their own movies and ground floor playroom has a sofa pull out queen bed so can serve as 7th bedroom), a spacious oceanfront family room and adjoining spacious dining room for your family gatherings, and a fabulous deck for enjoying the dunes and ocean views
The cottage is equipped with high speed internet , wireless internet, telephone, Hulu live service, a 55 inch OLED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV in the first floor family room, a 32 inch Smart TV in the upstairs family room and 42 inch OLED HD Smart TV in ground floor playroom. Each of the bedrooms and common areas have a 10 inch tablet for your entertainment convenience. There is ample outdoor parking for up to 5 cars.
The first floor exterior features a large covered beach side porch and sun deck with dining table, dining chairs and rocking chairs perfect for enjoying that first cup of coffee in the morning and for relaxing sunset dinners or late night cocktails. While you are relaxing on the deck, the kids can play in the swings, swinging bench or hammock below. The first floor exterior also features a covered street side porch perfect for just hanging out in the rocking chairs. Both beach side and street side porches are connected by a lovely wraparound deck (938 sq ft decking).
The interior first floor consists of the spacious family room and master bedroom (with a Queen bed and ensuite bath with tub & shower) both overlooking the beach, two additional bedrooms (each with a Queen bed) that share a jack & jill full bath with walk-in shower, another smaller study/bedroom with a twin bed and a nearby full bath with tub & shower, a beautiful fully-equipped kitchen with custom made cabinetry and granite counter tops which opens to the dining room.
The second floor features a second master bedroom with a queen bed, ensuite bath with walk-in shower, and walk-in closet and nice panoramic ocean views, a second bedroom with two double beds (and a fold out twin in the closet) and a nearby full bath with a tub & shower, and a second family room perfect for kids to hang out and play or watch tv. These upstairs rooms are stocked with books for all age levels.
The street level features a utility room with washer/dryer, packed beach bags and a large playroom with sofa pull away queen bed, smart TV, bath with 2 walk-in showers and bathroom. The playroom is stocked with games and crafts to entertain the kids. There is an adjoining garage with a second refrigerator/freezer, a large Weber gas grill, a Weber charcoal grill, a large storage area with road bicycles, beach toys, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, outdoor games and related beach gear. Outside the garage beachside are more beach toys, kayak, 2 paddle boards, long board, boogie boards and an outside shower with hot/cold water- good for post beach showering.
In short, Graley Cottage is the perfect place for family fun where you can enjoy all the ocean has to offer from just a shells throw from the surf. You will want to return every year.

We chose this home for an extended family weekend to celebrate my fathers 80th birthday. As this is the first birthday after my mother passed away in December of 2022 (after 59 years of marriage), this time away as a family group was extremely important for all of us. Thank you for providing your lovely home as it was the perfect setting. There was absolutely nothing that could have been better for the family healing and celebration of our patriarch.

We invited our adult children 5 grandchildren, and one boyfriend to stay with us. The house was perfect with separate spaces, comfortable beds, and amenities galore. The photos don't do it justice. The kitchen is small but efficient and very well stocked. We had everything we needed for the beach and a lot of extras. we will definitely be back!

We loved our stay at this charming home at Atlantic Beach. The house is beautiful with every thing you need for a week at the beach provided. We had every age and there was lots of privacy when needed. The living area was comfortable but we spent must of our time, when not on the beach, on the porch and deck. This home is in a nice area away from the crowds yet close to everything we needed in Atlantic Beach, Morehead City and Beaufort. Stephanie is a wonderful hostess! We finally found a beach house that we look forward to going back to year after year.

We very much enjoyed staying at this property. The house has everything you could ever need for a great beach vacation including being super clean. You can walk straight to the beach from the front of the house or the public access is 2 houses down and super easy. We will definitely be back.

Our family just returned from another wonderful week at this house. Stephanie has done a great job furnishing the house and has not left out any detail. It definitely feels like a home away from home as opposed to a rental property. The location is A++. We've already booked again for next summer!

College Reunion
We had a great time staying at Graley Cottage! The house was equipped with all necessities for a great weekend, from kitchen/cooking supplies to activities (games, books, etc), as well as beach going/play supplies. The owner is very kind and easy to contact. We thought that there was an extra bed in one of the upstairs bedrooms, as described by the website. It was okay though, as we were able to work out sleeping arrangements. Each of us would highly recommend staying at Graley! :)

Absolutely amazing place to stay!
The house is amazing, and the location is perfect. The house had everything we needed including toys, chairs, and everything you can think of for the beach. The sunrise was beautiful. We had the super moon come up over the ocean and was stunning. I’ve stayed in a lot of vacation homes, and this was far better than the rest I’ve stayed at. Everything you need is close by. I plan on going back.

Beautiful Cottage
Our family stayed at Graley Cottage Thursday-Sunday to attend a wedding in Beaufort. We had 7 adults with plenty of room to spare in the large and well appointed home. Everything we needed was there, with all the best quality bedding, kitchen supplies and comforts. All items and supplies for every beach activity you could think of is also provided. It’s a beautiful, well decorated and comfortable home away from home. Stephanie was helpful and I was very impressed with her communication. She thought of everything you would need to make your trip effortless. The location is ideal. On the beach, quiet street, and a short drive to the bridge. I highly recommend and hope to return.

Summer Beach Vacation with Family
The house was perfect for our week's stay in August and exceeded expectations. Stephanie was very easy to deal with and responsive. Often times we have found that beach rentals are beat up and not quite what was advertised given the wear and tear they receive during the summer, however, this house was excellently maintained and did not at all feel like a "rental." It's obvious that it's well cared for throughout the year by the owner. We'll be back next summer!

This house has everything you need for a fantastic beach vacation!!
What a comfy, cute, full of character & charm house! Check in was a breeze. We only needed our clothing, groceries & sun screen! We were a little bummed we couldn't see the beach from the deck, the dune is too high. The deck had plenty of furniture to sit on. The walk to the beach was easy & convenient. The house provided carts, chairs, toys, floats bags and beach towels, amazing. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, paper towels, sheets, blankets you need not bring! The beach is quiet, well maintained. A few of us had to work remotely or take classes and had no problems with the wifi.. We had a few other issues but Stephanie was in constant contact with us. The week we were there it rained A LOT but we made the most of it!

Beach vacation paradise
Can't say enough good things about about our stay at Graley Cottage. The Atlantic Beach location is a great starting point for area activities and the beach is just a short walk out the back door. Two couples plus three single adults each had their own bedroom and bath, plus plenty of common space (most evenings spent on the deck enjoying the sea breeze). Nicely furnished with authentic beach ambiance; comfy beds, real linens and special touches like embroidered beach bags and towels. We all really appreciated the owner's obvious commitment to making her guests comfortable and we hope to be able to return to Graley Cottage again sometime in the future. Thanks for the wonderful memories!

2021 R4R Fishing Tournament
Came down from Massachusetts with My brother, his best friend, my middle son and met a cousin and my brothers father in law for the Reelin 4 Research fishing tournament. Lots of planning was involved to make it all happen, and the easiest and most seamless part of the trip was or stay at Greely Cottage.
