About this house rental
Atlantic Beach, NC. Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable vacation in this cedar shake, all-wood interior, fully furnished, 4 bedroom/ 4.5 bath beach house. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, the others are furnished with a queen-sized bed, 2 twin beds and an extra large bedroom featuring 2 doubles. The house sleeps 8-10 comfortably. The indoor spaces feature original artwork, unique furnishings, and the kitchen is equipped with almost new appliances and cookware. Situated on the second row, the beach is just steps away. On the spacious front porch, guests can enjoy ocean views, cool breezes and lovely sunsets. And the best nap/ book reading in the world is to be found while lounging on the front porch hanging bed. There is also a large side screened porch, back deck & outdoor shower.
When not on the wide, soft sand beach (less than a three-minute walk), enjoy nearby attractions such as biking 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 nearby islands, seeing weekly concerts at Fort Macon, visiting the colonial town of Beaufort and its waterfront scenery and restaurants, the NC Aquarium, and Morehead City restaurants and nightlife, savoring a Sunset drink at the bar located at the end of the nearby Oceana Fishing Pier which gives a panoramic 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!

This property is as gorgeous and comfortable as the pictures show. It truly has an upscale, classic beach feel. There are three ensuites – the bedroom on the first floor can be converted to an ensuite using the pocket doors.
It's not oceanfront but does have an ocean view from the front porch. There is plenty of parking – which seems to be at a premium in this neighborhood.
Hannah, the owner, was overseas during our stay but was very proactive, making the check-in process extraordinarily easy. She was just a text away if there were any problems - which there wasn't.
I highly recommend staying there.

Our family had a wonderful vacation at the beach. The location could not have been better with the ocean access across the street. The house was clean and well stocked. We really enjoyed spending time on the porches. Thank you Hannah!

My family and I stayed in this lovely home this past weekend. We loved everything about the house. The porches are amazing, we ate diner on the screened in porch and drank our coffee on the front porch each morning. The kitchen is well stocked and we had everything we needed to be able to relax and enjoy the stay. We will definitely book again.

Excellent beach house
Beautiful home for our annual family vacation. This house is lovely and the location to the beach is excellent. The owner is a quick communicator. This is our second stay at this property.

Fishing trip
We rented this house as we booked a fishing trip out of Morehead City. The location was a perfect combination for proximity to the beach and a short drive to the docks. Loved it!

Wonderful Beach Property
This is a wonderful beach property that is very close to water but also is convenient to grocery stores and other shopping. The home is large and spacious which gave us plenty of room to spread out. The property does have several sets of stairs but that is well documented in the property pictures. We loved the property and would absolutely stay here again on our next visit to Atlantic Beach.

Wonderful stay
This house is the perfect vacation place and provides great amenities. The kitchen is well stocked and the house is spacious and clean. The front porch is the perfect place for morning coffee or afternoon drinks. Enjoyed the bikes and beach chairs as well along with the porch swinging bed. Great for naps. Thank you Hannah, for a great stay.

Gorgeous house and great location
You can tell that the owners take a lot of pride in their home. It’s beautiful and has lots of personalized decorations. The house feels homey and every room has ample space. The beds are extremely comfortable with a softer king bed and firmer full beds for those who have a preference. The bedding is beautiful and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and the layout of where things are in it makes sense. We had food delivered (door dash) a couple of times and had no issues. The beach access is a couple houses down and even though it’s public beach access, it felt very private with only a few residential neighbors being around when we’d go. The house is a short maybe two or three minute drive to Fort Macon and it’s definitely worth checking out. Definitely head into Beaufort for some quaint, local shopping! The only thing I’d caution is there are some fragrant oil diffusers that smell amazing but may be too strong for someone with fragrance sensitivities or it could possibly be an eczema trigger.

The perfect house for multi-generational family celebration
Our family had a wonderful stay. There was more than enough space for our group of 7 to not be crowded at all. Places for front porch relaxing to game night, puzzle building to quiet time to family meals together made for the ideal setting for a long weekend filled with celebrations.

Amazing Find
Beautifully located and decorated house in Atlantic Beach. Interior was well-decorated and made you feel like you were part of the family! Three different porches and an amazing family room made it easy to relax and unwind. Easy walk to downtown AC, and the beach is so close! We were very appreciate of the owners cleanliness and offerings. We will come back! Thank you for sharing your amazing house with us.

Labor Day Beach Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Surf Shack. The house is located on a quiet street just steps away from a beach access. The front porch was great for midday naps on the swing and enjoying the sunset. The kitchen was well appointed with everything you might need for making family meals. The house was very clean and felt like a home as opposed to a third party rental. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Charming house with special touches
This house has a great vibe! The variety of cozy porches to hang out is a plus.
Having bathrooms for each bedroom is a bonus. The house is clean and the quality of linens was appreciated.
We found everything we needed including a couple of things we forgot to bring in the pantry. There are some nice views of the ocean from the house and the neighborhood is really nice. We appreciated the close proximity to shopping and stores. The owner was excellent in communication. We would definitely want to come back again.
One thing to note. We brought my elderly mother. The beds were a little high for her but she managed. The tub was also an issue for her but we used outdoor walk in shower and it was perfect! We were appreciative that there was a bedroom on the main level for my parents and the rest of us used the upstairs bedrooms. Each bedroom charming in its own way.
( do wish the VRBO fees weren’t so high, that’s the only bummer (not the fault of the house owners)

Amazing Property
This house was better than I could have imagined. Clean and felt like home, the big front porch was a hit for the entire family. The street is quiet with quick walking access to a wonderful beach. The house has so many amenities, with nice beach chairs, bikes and sand toys for our 3 year old. So many kitchen appliances and utensil included and hair dryers in every bathroom. The process of booking and communication with the owner was seamless. We are already checking each other’s schedules to plan a trip back to this house!!

Beach House Perfection
i can’t say enough great things about this house & the host. The house is decorated to perfection and is at a great location. we enjoyed the short walk to the beach everyday, ran the trails at Fort Macon, hit the skate park many times and enjoyed the many porches at the house. The house is so well equipped, the beds are all very comfortable and Hannah was so quick to respond to any questions we had regarding the house or with things to do in the area. I would recommend this house for families or friends of any ages.

Perfect Beach Getaway!
This house is as adorable as it shows in the photos! The layout is ideal for privacy and communal living....large living room with open floor plan to the kitchen and the several bedrooms with all having their own bathrooms and a half bath. Porch out front is perfect to watch the ocean throughout the day and the back screened in porch is perfect to eat outdoors. There is ample parking and plenty space outside for coolers, grilling and storing your outdoors items securely. Easy access, by foot, to beach via two quick entrances from the home and can walk on the beach to the pier. Great, great fishing!! Would book again!

Atlantic Beach stay
We loved the house! It was comfortable, homey, extremely clean and a great location. It had all of the amenities that we needed. We did find the Internet service service spotty. The beach was just a short walk away amidst a quiet friendly neighborhood. We were close to Morehead City, Beaufort, and Ft. Macon State Park. We would be happy to return!

Stressful Owner -- BEWARE
First, let me give credit where credit is due -- the house is beautiful and in a great location directly across from beach access. It's well appointed, is recently remodeled and shows just as depicted. We came for a family reunion after not seeing each other for almost a year, to celebrate my 50th birthday, and most importantly, to destress after an exceptionally stressful year. When the rental contract was sent and after we made the final payments the first RED FLAG this owner might be a problem came with a two-page list of rules, regulations, and chores including not to lower the a/c below 74 degrees or open the windows. There are Nest thermostats in the house and we suspect these were adjusted remotely when we lowered them to our tastes and not theirs. The house is also ostentatiously filled with pictures of the owner’s family and personal effects which I’ll admit was a bit odd. I was charged $50 for one of these personal items when a small clam plate broke because it had ‘sentimental value’ even though 1. It fell off the wall just from closing a door and 2. I found it on ebay for under $10. We also ran across an UNCOMFORTABLE amount of ROACHES, even one in a ‘clean’ coffee mug. I’m very aware that beaches and roaches go hand and hand but I saw more than a handful during our stay and they are obviously in the cabinets. The owner was notified but seemed to think this was normal. One of our guests also had to clean sand from the sheets of her ‘newly made’ bed. Also beware, you ARE BEING MONITORED. Before we booked, I asked if there was a place to launch our boat. The owner directed me to a marina across the street. When I was sent the original contract there was no mention of any boat restrictions so we bought a small fishing skiff which fit nicely in the paved driveway without issue. Afterwards, I was scolded by the owner for bringing it against their wishes (again, no mention in the original contract) reinforcing the fact that YOUR ACTIONS ARE BEING WATCHED FAIRLY CLOSELY. Way too much drama and stress for us; we will be looking elsewhere for our next rental.

Beautiful house, steps from the beach
Loved our stay at Hannah's house. Brought our two young kids and the house was great for us. Especially loved hanging out on the porches, watching sunsets and (because we have a 1 yr old), sunrises! The walk to the beach was super easy, about 2 minutes, which mattered a lot to us. The interior of the house is beautiful, full of pretty wood paneling and interesting decor, a true beach cottage that is clearly loved by its owners. If you bring kids who still nap or who you'd prefer didn't wake up at the crack of dawn, I'd recommend bringing your own blackout window shades, as the shades in the bedrooms are not light blocking and we had to make an emergency trip to Lowe's! Otherwise, highly recommend this spot to anyone.

Best ever vacation!
We enjoyed a week on Atlantic Beach with our entire family of twenty, our three daughters, their spouses and our twelve grandchildren. My husband and I stayed at Surf Shack with or eight granddaughters in the three upstairs bedrooms! It was a perfect arrangement! Hannah is an excellent host! The house is charming, spacious open living space where we gathered most evenings for dinner and spread out to the lovely front porch to rock, swing and enjoy the ocean breeze. Easy access to the uncrowned beach, quiet friendly neighborhood, good biking street for the children. All my ancestors back Five generations are from Shackelford Banks, Cape Lookout(great/great grandfather and great grandmother were Lighthouse keepers in 1870’s) and Morehead. We spent a day at the Cape and twelve of the family spent a morning fishing for mackerel. Best vacation ever! Thanks, HANNAH,

Wonderful stay in great family vacation home
This is the perfect beach house for a great Atlantic Beach vacation. We brought our young teenage sons and two of their friends. They had a blast with plenty to do. The house is comfortable and has a great set up for hanging out together and also finding your own space. We found ourselves on the front porch with rocking chairs, a swing and a swinging bench in the morning with our coffee and after dinner listening to the waves and enjoying the friendly street . It feels as if a good friend has invited you to their home- it has all the amenities. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need, the open floor plan keeps everyone together. The beach access is right across the street and the beach is wide and absolutely gorgeous. We rode out Hurricane Isaias during our stay and the Hannah checked in with us before and after. She is super kind and available. We hope to come back next summer. We would absolutely recommend this home!

great family trip
Great property. Perfectly setup for a family trip. Grandma slept downstairs, little ones had their own little area upstairs to sleep and have their alone time in the upstairs sitting room. Master has a nice little ocean view and all the beds were nice and comfy. Great location and easy access to the beach as the walk way is right there. Even though we went in off season we still enjoyed the beach for sports and playing. Water was too cold but didnt stop us from having fun. Saw tons of dolphins and had the beach to ourselves. We had 4 adults and 3 kids staying at the house and never felt crowded and made for an awesome and memorable trip. Being 2nd row from the beach doesnt make much of a difference IMHO as you still get some ocean views and the views at the back of the house are great too. Hannah is also an awesome host too. Quick to respond and made sure I knew how to plan things out and made sure I was setup upon arrival. My wife had to work a bit on our laptop while out there and internet is solid. I would for sure recommend this place to friends and family and pretty sure we'll be back someday. We searched tons of places before making out choice and feel very lucky we found one that was perfect for us. I'm trying to think of something funny to knit pick about and can't think of anything :) I guess the back stairs are a little steep so be careful if you've had a few too many. :) Thanks again Hannah!
