Walk to the beach from the house whenever you want. No trolley rides or electric carts necessary! The beach is only 200 footsteps away on the sandy dune trail behind our house, or, walk/ride bikes around the block on the flat paved road. Amazing views of the ocean and the sound surround the home.

You will find this home well stocked with beach equipment, books, movies, toys, games- all updated regularly. With plenty of room for multiple families to spread out- over 3,700 square feet of living space on 4 floors with high ceilings and pine hardwood floors. Beautiful antiques, comfortable furniture, original art, relaxing outdoor decks, swings- you'll feel right at home. Coastal camper families? We are a 45 minute drive to Camp Seagull and Seafarer.
Special features of the home include: Two full kitchens, a 4th floor kids’ playroom decorated with custom 'Blackbeard the Pirate' mural by North Carolina artist, filled with toys and video games, 52' flatscreen TV and entertainment center, wireless internet, 5 outdoor decks, 2 screened porches, freight elevator for groceries and luggage, new appliances, outside hot shower and gated privacy fence around property.
Atlantic Beach is located on the southern outer banks of North Carolina, in an area known as the Crystal Coast. Besides relaxing and having fun on the beach, there’s plenty to do while you visit. We send our guests a welcome package with links, info and descriptions of area activities, including:
Go antiquing, shopping, or enjoy great restuarants in Atlantic Beach, Morehead City or Beaufort. Tour historic places like the NC Maritime Museum and Fort Macon State Park. Visit the incredible NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, about 5 miles away. Take a day trip to Ocracoke Island by ferry and visit some of Blackbeard's haunts. Spend the day at Cape Lookout National Seashore; the deserted island that boasts the diamond shoals lighthouse and a herd of the spectacular wild Shackleford ponies.
Go fishing: inshore, off shore, or off the pier…Atlantic Beach is a boater's delight and marina access is only a few blocks from the house. Play golf at the nearby courses. Enjoy fantastic waterfront restaurants for the adults, or family-friendly places if you have the kids in tow. Ride bikes. Read. Walk the beach…Do as much as you want, or as little as you want, just ENJOY!

This house is amazing. We had my husband's surprise retirement party in September with plenty of room for all! The house is beautifully decorated with all the amenities. The owner was easy to reach for any questions and very accommodating. Our family and friends felt comfortable and at home in this lovely beach house. Hope we get the chance to rent again.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

While this expansive house is spacious enough to provide a large group a room of their own and a place to be quiet for a nap or to read a book, it's a warm and welcoming retreat for an individual or couple as well. The house features yards and yards of golden pine floors furnished with comfortable upholstery accented with original art and good books on the shelf. My favorite spot, though, would be the large porches where I can rock or swing myself to sleep as I enjoy the sun and hear the waves crash beyond the sand dunes. While there is a nod to the simple pleasures of the beach, this house also offers flat screen tv's, granite counters in the kitchen and other luxuries that make coming in for the night a treat. For a diversion, I love a drive over to Morehead for some antique shopping and, then over the bridge to Beaufort for a history lesson and a nice meal at Beaufort Grocery. Staying here is a wonderful experience, especially if you have the time to stay for a week or more.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

The house was perfect to accomodate family & friends on my recent engagement. The weather forced us to spend signifigantly more time than I had originally planned but the house made it very enjoyable. Very spacious, clean, comfortable, and had a tasteful beach decor. The Owner's made the process to rent the house very streamlined and my fiance & I are planning on renting the house again next year for our family & friends coming in town for the wedding!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

This was a great house for the large number of people we had coming ranging in age from 8 months to 61. Everyone had their own bed, no couches or pull outs were needed. One bedroom is only accessible by passing through another. Not a problem for us but it could be for others. The bathrooms were plentiful which made it very easy to accomodate all. The entertainment equipment, TV's, movies, games, etc were great. The best dinning table I have ever seen for a large group. Kitchen was great but could use a few more pots (stove top griddle pan and a large pasta/lobster pot). The owner was terrific, responding to all my emails and answering all my questions. They have this down to a science. Location was great.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway.

We rented the home for two nights and throughly enjoyed the stay. I feel the house is an excellent rental for the rate charged. The living, dinning and kitchen area are a great size with lots of seating and very comfortable couches and dinning table. We slept 9 people very comfortably and could have fit 3 more people in the house still with room to spare. The walk to the beach is a short distance, taking the pathway over the dunes. If you are looking for a home to rent in this area I would recommend it!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.

I can't imagine how our "girls weekend" at Atlantic Beach could have possibly been any more comfortable than what this fabulous, spacious, beautifully decorated but WELCOMING home provided. From the yummy beds, to the sink-in-and-nap sofas to the gorgeous sunrise and sunset views, we were nested in the best place 8 "girls" could ever desire for a weekend away... and we could have added to our numbers and not felt any less privacy! We'll be back!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

My family and I visited this home in late March for a deep sea fishing trip. The home was nothing less than spectacular with pleanty of room for everyone. There are plenty of things in this home to keep everyone happy from kids to grandparents and everything you would need is supplied! Best of all the home was only 4 minutes away from where most of the deep sea fishing boats are docked so it was very convenient even for early mornings. Mrs Duggins is also such a pleasure to work with. We will be back in the future!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We had an excellent stay at your beautiful home! It was absolutely perfect for hosting our family reunion. The open kitchen/dining/living space on the 3rd floor is ideal for gathering and hanging out, but you could still get away to a quiet place when you needed. Our favorite porch is the one overlooking the back of the house and out to the ocean - great for an early morning cup of coffee while the rest of the crew slept in. My kids (11 and 9) were thrilled with the 4th floor game/bedroom and bunk. Lots of kid-friendly games and toys. We also found a great supply of beach supplies in the garage! The beach was beautiful - nice sand, no crowds, shells...You thought of everything, and we talked often about making regular trips/reunions to this wonderful house. There was SO much to do in the area - we ran out of days long before we ran out of ideas!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2004
About the owner: We live in North Carolina with our 3 sons. Our family has enjoyed Atlantic Beach for over 20 years. Our kids love Camp Seagull which is located about 50 minutes away. Boating, beach combing, and exploring Ft. Macon and other area historical sites are our favorite things to do.
Why the Owner Chose Atlantic Beach:
For years we looked at beach property up and down the Carolina coasts. We chose Atlantic Beach for its unbeatable combination of natural beauty, history, and authentic character. Atlantic Beach is a uniquely North Carolina beach, with area history dating back to the 1700's. Nearby Morehead City and Beaufort offer casual and fine dining, boutiques, art galleries, and a boater's paradise. The beaches are wide, full of shells, and not too crowded. Our neighborhood is just that- a neighborhood, with families enjoying the North Carolina coast the way they have for generations.
We find this area to be the perfect destination for a beach trip- for families, for reunions, for gatherings of friends.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
We are located 2 miles down the island from Ft. Macon State Park...a beautiful and historic 400-acre park right on the tip of the island, with gorgeous views of the ocean and sound from every angle. Our home is also just a 5-7 minute ride from the newest North Carolina Aquarium, in Pine Knoll Shores. The sharks that swim with the sunken German submarine are our favorite, but the sea turtles are a close second!
Though these national-calibre attractions are very close, the house is so comfortable, you'll have a fabulous vacation even if you never venture out. The beautiful beach is only 200 footsteps away from our back door, through a sandy trail in the natural dune area that gives our house it's privacy. The views from our home of the ocean and sound are gorgeous. There are swings and rocking chairs on the 2nd and 3rd floor oceanfront decks (2 of 7 decks/porches for you to enjoy).
The beach house is 3,700 square feet- stocked with games, movies, books and toys. We keep the house updated and very comfortable so you'll feel you are visiting a friend's home, not staying in a bland rental house or hotel.
