This was a great VRBO rental. I look forward to renting it again. The property description is spot on. Location was great. It was a quick, easy walk to the beach. We enjoyed listening to the surf as we relaxed on the deck in the quiet evening. Amenities were great, and the unit was very clean and comfortable.

Plenty of space for a family of 5. Could easily have more people comfortably. Easy walk to beach. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would certainly choose again.

Excellent

We had a blast staying at the property. It was big enough for our group of 11 and still had room. Mike and Judy are super nice and super helpful. If we ever come back to North Carolina I would definitely stay here again.

My family and I can down for my birthday weekend . The owners were awesome and extremely friendly, they went over and beyond to make us feel welcomed . Brought over cupcakes for my birthday . The house was great, relaxing , beautiful. Could not have asked for a better place to stay . Can not thank them enough for making us feel so welcomed .

This place is AWESOME! The owners were very helpful and made our stay even better! The owners showed us southern hospitality at its finest! The house is spacious and very clean! Everyone slept comfortably on the beds, which are amazingly comfy! The TVs were great for family movie nights after long days on the beach! They also provide beach chairs and some kids beach toys and games which was awesome and very helpful! The walk to the beach was short! The public beach access is great and not crowded with too many beach goers. The deck provides an awesome spot to sit and relax and still get sun! Restaurants and local beach shops were close by and a short drive away from the house! This place provided me with an awesome beach experience and the owners told us about local places that I never would’ve thought to visit on my own! I will definitely be making another trip next summer to come back here!

This duplex is beautiful! The owners are awesome and attentive. The beach is a gorgeous little walk from the house. They have many beach chairs and towels already at the condo. The house sleeps many guests comfortably. The beds are so comfortable. The owners also offered us food and treats during our stay! Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous vacation rental.

VERY disappointing stay. We came for a short family vacation- 4 nights. The pictures of the house are better than in person & it looks more spacious than it actually is. The house is an old beach house- which I gathered going into it. The is no central AC- only a window unit upstairs & it's VERY loud. The floors slant, esp in the upstairs bathroom. The toilets take two flushes to flush. The furniture is fine. There was sand on the furniture when we arrived- a lack of a through cleaning from previous renters. There is a small set of actual dishes & glasses , but the majority if the kitchenware is plastic. The beds were comfortable, except for the downstairs bunk beds which were very rickety & would make me nervous to have anyone sleep on the top bunks. The stairs going up to second floor are pretty steep & very narrow. The owners are literally RIGHT BESIDE YOU on the front deck. If there are people on their deck, and there always was, you can hear every word. They were also over on our side of the deck rearranging the deck furniture, putting covers on & off the furniture because of rain, putting up and taking down flags. At one point I had just gotten out of the shower & was cracking the sliding door from the master bedroom & there was the owner on our side of the deck covering a chair- she just laughed & stood rt there in front of me! They washed their car in the driveway- not really what I want to see on vacation in front of me. They had friends coming and going, which came up the main stairs to the deck that we were on, there is a private entrance under the deck that they should've used while having renters on the top deck. Very intrusive- there was no privacy whatsoever. Not sure if they thought they were being helpful, but our polite no "thank you's" and "we're fine" should have been an indicator that we did not want to be bothered. The worst situation was when we informed them that the downstairs toilet was not flushing properly. We only had one more night and we told them it was fine & we could just use the upstairs one. We told them this as we were going out to get something to eat & that out teenage daughter was taking a nap inside so they could look at it later. Sure enough, when we came back, the man said he had gone in and fixed it AND checked the upstairs toilet as well! Again our 14yr old daughter was inside napping ALONE! I was outraged, but did not say anything because we were leaving in the morning. Will never stay/recommend

The owners of the property who live right next door are AMAZING!! Thank you so much Mike and Judy for all of your graciousness and helpfulness. We loved your property. It was perfect for everyone. I was worried with the amount of guests we were bringing that it was going to be a little difficult to accommodate, but I was wrong. Plenty of space, and EVERYTHING we could have needed was available in the Kitchen. We especially enjoyed those chocolate cupcakes when we arrived. The distance to the beach is such a nice walk. We will definitely be staying there again. Thank you so very much :)

We arrived very late on Friday night, we sat on the front porch and it was very relaxing to hear the waves of the sea after driving for two and half hours!! The next morning we got up, had breakfast and went to the beach walking, because it's close and also went walking to the pier! Mr. Mike and his wife, who are in the next door, make you feel very welcome ( They left brownies for us as a way to welcome us to their place)! We just went for the weekend and sure we will book again and will do for more days! Thanks Mr. Mike and Ms. Judy for sharing your place with us!

Mike and Judy were wonderful hosts. They ensured every part of our visit was perfect. There was plenty of room for 9 guests to sleep, eat, and hangout. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy this spot even more. They had everything provided for a convenient stay including bedding, towels, games, and even beach chairs! We took advantage of the short walk to the beach and they even brought us a bottle of champagne to celebrate the bride-to-be. Thank you so much! I hope we can come back soon.

The property location was perfect, everything was clean and ready upon arrival. The property owners were very friendly. Absolutely wonderful! My family will definitely stay again!

Clean close to beach and house had everything we needed to feel at home

Super clean with plenty of space for the family. House had all the comforts of home.

good location. easy reach to atlantic, morehead city, emerald isle beaches. easy walk to the beach. quiet neighborhood. everything you need is there- kitchen, washer and dryer, linens, air conditioners, TV and internet availability -

We stayed in Atlantic beach for the weekend for my nephews wedding, the house was very large & the accommodated our group of 12 easily. The homeowners were next door and very kind and helpful.

We participated in a 200 mile running relay that ended in Atlantic Beach and this place was perfect for our group of 11! Perfect set up and very cozy. Wish we could have stayed longer.

The duplex is nicely decorated and very comfortable, and accommodates a lot of people. Sheets and lots of towels were provided. While the picture makes it look closer to the beach than it is, it is still a very short and easy walk to the ocean. Mike and Judy were very responsive to any problems and very helpful with restaurant and shopping recommendations. There is a back yard with enough room to play corn hole and other games, and a ping pong table too. There is a washer and dryer on site that was very useful, and the outdoor shower was great when you're sandy from the beach. The one issue is that the the wall air conditioner upstairs is loud, and that sometimes makes it difficut to hear others across the room. I recommend this rental - it was great for a beach celebration.

This place is a best kept secret on the island!!!! immaculate accommodations with plenty of room for a large family. You do not feel cramped here. Ocean views, sound views, and short distance to shops and dinning. I never write reviews, but this place has way exceeded our expectations. The owners are easy to get in touch with if needed, yet leave you to enjoy a private vacation. It feels like renting a house without the high rental price. We plan to book this place for years to come.

This duplex is truly a gem by the sea! From the moment you enter, you will know you picked the perfect place for your vacation. It is so beautifully decorated, has all the amenities you could need and is so clean and comfortable. The bedrooms are spacious and the living room is the perfect place for the family to gather. There is even extra room downstairs. The kitchen is stocked with everything and the large dining room table is perfect for those family dinners. The deck is a wonderful place to relax, feel the ocean breeze and watch the beautiful sunsets. Just steps from the ocean, this place has it all. The owners, Mike & Judy, are such wonderful people and have taken great care & pride to ensure the place is perfect. You will just love staying here. This truly is the perfect beach retreat!
