Quality accommodations and so clean that we did not feel the need to use the Lysol we typically use upon arrival to a rental! The back deck was perfect for watching the fireworks in Morehead. Short walk to the spacious beach.
Quiet neighborhood.

We stayed at the EPEC Retreat for a family wedding in Havelock and it was perfect! We had 6 adults at the property and hosted other family members that were staying elsewhere for happy hour/meals. The location and amenities were great - the house is a short walk from the beach and had everything we need to prepare meals and entertain. The communication with the host was easy and timely leading up to and during our stay. I would definitely recommend this property!

We enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable and offered plenty of space for our family of 4. It is a short walk to a public beach access. The beach was not crowded, my children had plenty of room to play in the sand and water. The owner was easy to communicate with and responded promptly. We would recommend!

* A relaxing family beach trip to remember :)
We decided to do something different this year and venture to the beach with our two young sons (2 and 6 years) on the July 4th weekend. We had such a great time! :) The property was clean and had plenty of tools for us to work with in the kitchen. I especially loved the electric griddle, which was perfect for our frequent pancake mornings. :) I also really liked the layout of the property. The front entry door opens to a great room which contains the living area, a dining table with bench (perfect for our kids), and a kitchen area with bar seating. On one side of the great room is a large bathroom with shower/tub and double sinks, a room with two twin beds, and a room with a bunk bed and changing table. We stayed on this side (which also has the washer & dryer) of the property with the kids while the grandparents stayed on the other side of the great room, which had two additional rooms, each with a queen bed and private bathroom. We loved the front and back deck areas for chatting in the evenings. We especially had a great time viewing fireworks over the marina from the back deck--the kids really loved this. :) The beach is about a 5 minute lazy walk away, which was not a problem for the grandparents or the children. :) There are also other fun activities nearby (i.e., aquarium, movies, parks, horse tours, etc.) and Fort Macon Road (right out back) has a nice sidewalk for jogging/walking in the morning too. We can't say enough good things about the property! We would be happy to stay again and would recommend the property to others. Many thanks for helping us make some great new memories with our family. :)

Seaside cottage
The place was exactly as pictured. Close to the beach, very clean, and updated interior. I was also grateful for the small amenities provided (hand soap, tissues, paper towels, etc..) which most places don’t provide. It was very helpful if you arrive late, as we did. I would highly recommend the place. It was a great get away!

Had a GREAT stay!
We have rented this house before and have always enjoyed our stay - this was no exception. House comes well stocked with lots of essentials (trash bags, household supplies, etc). That is much appreciated as it is somewhat rare. Great location with easy beach access. We had a great time on a sunny April weekend.

Thanksgiving with Family in 2021
Our family enjoyed our stay here at Sarah’s family beach house. The location was great. Everything was clean and perfect. We loved the layout of the house and was so convenient to everything! Our family will be back next year!

Excellant trip second year in a row!
This was our second time staying here and our experience was once again a wonderful one. The house is beautiful and has everything we needed, even with kids! The communication with the owners is always excellent. We can't wait to come back again next year and hopefully many more after!!

Spa Baths
What a great property! The listing doesn't include pictures of the bathrooms which maybe the best part! There are two master suites with luxurious spa ensuite bathrooms on one side of the great room. The shared bath on the other side between bedrooms three and four is incredibly spacious. The hosts provide a very generous supply of towels and toiletries. A well equipped kitchen in a huge open floor-plan great room is the perfect place for extended family gathering. Everything is updated, open, airy, and tastefully decorated in a whimsical beachy style. The neighborhood is very nice and beach access is easy. The beach is wide and well tended with clean public restrooms steps away. Just a great vacation spot.

Perfect House
This house is perfect for multiple adults and children. There are two masters and two children's bedrooms. The house was clean and just a short walk to the beach. If we come back to the beach to visit, we will definitely be renting this house again!

Happy to Be Home
I have high expectations when visiting the SOBX and coming back home to Atlantic Beach; and this beautiful home exceeded them all.
Location is perfect, the house is beautiful and well appointed with anything you may need, the beaches are fabulous, and the locals are amazing. Hoping this place stays available for quite a while!
Our family recommends body boarding on Indian Beach, Italian Ices from Sunset Slush, and the Fish Bites at Shark Shack.

Perfect family vacation!
We traveled from Germany with a 1 and 4 year old to spend a week on the beach with family from CT! Our stay was everything we hoped and more thanks to this beautiful property! Clean, spacious, perfect location - the kitchen was a dream and everyone had their own bathroom and space. Easy walk to the beach which made beach days low-stress. Our highlight was watching 4th of July fireworks right from the back porch! We hope to be back again and will definitely pass on to friends!

Awesome Location
Thoroughly enjoyed the week. Property was as advertised, comfortable and convenient to the beach, shopping and dining. Would definitely rent again when visiting Atlantic Beach.

Absolutely Amazing!!
This house is even more beautiful in person than described. Our entire stay was perfect. The beds were extremely comfortable and the house had everything we could have ever needed or wanted (and that says a lot since we were traveling with two small kids). The whole rental process was seamless and we can't wait to come back!

Beautiful Property / Strong cigarette smell
The property is beautiful and newly renovated. Great location. Sadly whoever stayed previous to us smoked inside the house. The smell was so powerful that even after a 3 day stay and opening the windows it was still lingering.
I hope the owners are able to fix this issue. Otherwise a great stay.

Ideal beach house for adult group
This property is well equipped and very close to everything Atlantic Beach/Morehead City has to offer. We were a group of 5 adults and the bedroom and bath layout was ideal for our group, as was the parking (plenty of room).

Excellent experience!
Could not ask for a better house and host. Everything was as described or better. So clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend this property and if we are ever back in the area we will hope it is available for us again.

Wonderful, peaceful beach retreat!
5 min walk to a beautiful beach, spacious, well appointed, super clean, really well set up kitchen, comfortable beds! A few miles to wonderful walking/biking state park, about 10 min bike ride to the busier AB area with restaurants and such. About 15 minute drive to cute Beaufort shops. Quick, friendly communication with property manager. The neighborhood was so quiet we were able to sleep early and lie in (perfect for vacation!). The beach was easy and perfect. We were able to lock our bikes at night in the garage room, which was so convenient. ....I'd like to say something could be improved just to try balance this review, but it simply doesn't need any improvements :) Great place, great location to chill, beach,. walk and bike. 5 starts all the way.

A Great Place!
We had a great time last week at this property. It is so nice and so clean. The owners left us a welcome basket and a lot of little extras. It was very reasonable and we hope to stay here again. Thank you for being so accommodating.
