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.
This is a great North Carolina beach house, owned and lovingly maintained by a family who enjoys the NC coast. You will find this home well stocked with beach equipment, books, movies, toys and games. 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- this is the place for family fun at the Crystal Coast of North Carolina. Beautiful antiques, comfortable furniture, original art, relaxing outdoor decks, hammock, swing- you'll feel right at home.

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…
Shop at the Atlantic Beach boutiques or antique stores in Morehead City and Beaufort. Tour historic places like the NC Maritime Museum and Fort Macon State Park. Visit the incredible NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. 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!

Map & Owner's Profile
Fantastic, 4-Story Beach House with Gorgeous Ocean Views
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Atlantic Beach
For 3 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 fine dining, boutiques, art galleries, and a boater's paradise. The beaches are wide, full of shells, and never 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 military 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.
One of the most visited state parks in the country, Ft. Macon dates back to the 1820's and offers unique history and scenic beauty for all its visitors.
Amazing aquarium with nature trails through the sound-side marsh. See sharks, sea turtles, alligators, jellyfish, sea horses, and many, many more coastal creatures. Educational and entertaining exhi
watch the boats come in, and enjoy some fresh seafood as you stroll the historic Morehead City waterfront.
Fabulous shopping, dining, and sight-seeing. Museums, historic homes, even a ghost walk at night! See the historic British cemetery, and stroll along the path to the legendary home of Blackbeard the
Catch one of the many water ferries that run all day from Morehead and Beaufort waterfronts to the Shackleford Banks, Sand Dollar Island, or Carrot Island. See the dolphins, wild ponies, and other co
Owner's Map of Atlantic Beach
We live in North Carolina with our 3 sons. We've been going to Atlantic Beach for 15 years as a family, and my husband - a native North Carolinian- since he was a boy. 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.
