Just to mention a couple titles from the review page, "Totally gorgeous," "elegant home for a enormous family," "Ideal getaway," "Striking beach home in a Fun location." I think you will find our beach home to be your home away from home and that's our goal! In fact one renter called it "home away from home!"
This is a Giant, Sensational, 6 bedroom, and 5 bathrooms on the sound. The 4th floor sleeps 4 and has a huge sitting room with a HUGE TV--the kids will never leave! The 3rd floor has 3 bedrooms including the king master with high ceilings and extraordinary vistas. The second floor has one bedroom and the rest is living space. The family room is open to the kitchen and a sizable eating area with great sound vistas and a deck right off this space. The home will effortlessly handle 12 people. We newly added a 4/5 person hot tub. The family room has a fireplace for colder weather. One guest commented "the home was definitely handsome. The rooms were roomy and well lit. It effortlessly accommodated my family of 10+."
This Sound View home looks straight at Morehead City. According to one guest, "we had everything we needed for making meals." Wake up in the Master bedroom and look right out into the sound--great way to start your day. You won't want to leave.. Walking to Beach, Shopping, eateries & Bars. Our community is called The Cottages at Bay Ridge and located between Atlantic Stations Shopping Center and the Atlantic Beach Post Office, our coastal community offers all the amenities and privacy that waterfront living deserves! According to a guest, "great home in a great neighborhood." We are a sound front community with great access to fishing, crabbing, kayaking and bird watching. We have a beautiful gradual entry pool. This is a fabulous luxury with elevated viewing area and plenty of shade for when it gets too hot in the sun. There is a half mile elevated wooden boardwalk which leads to the covered gazebo on our private island in the sound. This is great for picnics and fishing and watching the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Many guests commented that the host was conveniently accessible, accommodating and magnificant! I think anyone would agree when renting you want fast answers and we will give you that! And one final comment from a renter--"beyond all expectations!"

Tips and Tricks to get the very best rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Atlantic Beach. To get the best value, consider changing your family's Crystal Coast vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Crystal Coast vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• In the Crystal Coast area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.

Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.

You can also find Crystal Coast visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
