Immaculate 3.5 Story First Class Beach House with Elevator
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Atlantic Beach
My Wife and I are fell in love with the Crystal Coast of NC the first time we visited there about a decade ago. From pristine beaches to wild horses; fine restaurants to world class fishing... what is there not to love? The waters around the area with all of the channels and creeks are so inviting and the activities both on and off of the water are endless. Every time our family visits we just fall more in love with the area and can't wait to come back. We are both so happy to be able to share this with our children and friends and look forward to sharing it with you and your family.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our property's location is wonderful. We are a sound front community with great access to fishing, crabbing, kayaking and dolphin watching. There are many wonderful beaches close by and all major amenities are within walking distance or no more than a short drive. We enjoy nice views of the sound and have a direct view to the pool.
I think once you experience "Timeout" you will understand why we just love it so very much.
The gradual entry pool is located directly behind our home. This is a wonderful amenity that has an outdoor fireplace, elevated viewing area and plenty of shade when it gets too hot.
This is our private island in the sound. There is a half a mile elevated wooden walkway which leads to the island. From the island you can fish, kayak, swim, catch crabs and watch Dolphins. This i
This is an extremely convenient shopping area that has a movie theater, a grocery store,an ice cream shop, and an awesome Steakhouse called "The Watermark". Our electric vehicle makes the grocery run
This is the closest street to Public Beach Access. Multiple access points are accessible between its origin and the "Circle".
This is the most common and popular public beach access in Atlantic Beach. There are refreshment offerings here, several showers to wash off the sand, and a play ground. Parking is very limited and
This is a great place to spend a day fishing. You can catch just about anything here, so be prepared for that 6 in croaker, 25 inch redfish or 5 foot shark!

We had a triple celebration at the "Timeout" beach house. My husband turned 80 in December and so our family decided to have a 3 in one celebration -- Thanksgiving, Christmas and my husbands big 80! It was grand. Our children came in from NY & SC and we had ample bedrooms with their own baths for both families. My husband and I loved basking in the beautiful 'Master Bedroom" -- what luxury. The house was convenient to many attractions on the Island and when we were home there was a closet full of board games to play. We loved walking the long pier overlooking the Bogue Sound -- so beautiful. We took a day trip up to New Bern and took the historic tour -- don't miss that. But best of all was cooking in the beautiful kitchen with two dishwasher. Our family loves to cook -- all of us have so much fun in the kitchen. Time Out was clean, comfortable, and cozy -- all at the same time. The beds were so comfortable and the electric golf cart was a hoot! Thank you Craig & Valerie -- we had a blast. Fondly, Jean & Pete Brain

I want to thank Craig for allowing us to share in his beautiful home. We loved it! Everything is well thought out and the kitchen (with its HUGE walk-in pantry) was amazing. TWO dishwashers and a large ice maker were the icing on the cake. The bedrooms were well appointed and the screened in back porch was our favorite place to hang out. There were plenty of restaurants to choose from. Craig gave us great advice on some local specialties and everything he suggested was delicious. Although, I must say, we didn’t go out every night. We just couldn’t leave the house. It really was marvelous. I could go on and on about the great time that we had here. I just want anyone that is considering this home for a rental to know that the owners are honest folks who are there to make your stay absolutely perfect. I have never witnessed such pride in customer service as Craig displayed. If we called with a question, he would return our calls immediately. He was kind, polite and a joy to chat with. Speaking to him made us feel like we had known him forever. Thank you, Craig. Your hospitality was superb.
Owner response:I am truly humbled by your kind words. You and your family were an absolute joy to work with and were perfect guests. I am so happy to hear that you made such wonderful memories while staying with us and I hope to be able to work with you again soon. I look forward to your return. My best wishes to you and your family for a happy an healthy 2012!

Good value

Review Submitted: 11/15/11
House was well furnished and clean. Nice kitchen and living area. Bedrooms were adequate. Linens were not included. House phones did not work. Distance to beach parking was farther than advertised. Very nice and clean shared pool just behind house. Electric vehicle was useful but the seatbelt on the back row was broken. Limbs from tree next to driveway scraped our van every time we drove in/out of garage. Poor customer service. We notified property manager of above problems on our first day and we never heard back from her. Owner took about two months to return our security deposit. Beach was nice and fairly quiet. Local dining was a bit disappointing. Fort Macon was our favorite activity. Overall, the house was a good value.
Owner response:Wow, I am not quite sure what to say. I am almost at a loss for words. I did not expect this bad of a review from this customer. First, customer booked last minute and his payment did not show up when he said it would. I let them into the house without receiving payment anyway. When I finally received it, the check bounced. His deposit check cleared. He did send another check but I wanted to make absolute sure it cleared. So yes I held onto his deposit longer than normal. I have an imbedded Google map on my site. The Map shows our house location and beach location. Not sure how distance is misrepresented. If you look at the map, I assure you the ocean is where Google says it is and my house is where indicated on the map. This guest stayed shortly after Hurricane Irene directly hit our area. My phone did not work yet as our modem was damaged in storm. We also had some limbs overhanging the left side of the driveway. If customer would have parked on right side, scratches would not have happened. Regarding poor customer service, simply not true. Items may not have been fixed as quickly as he would have liked, but the folks who take care of the property were tending to other homes they take care of that had major damage from the Hurricane.

Wonderful place to spend your vacation!

I would highly recommend spending your vacation at TimeOut Beachhouse if you are wanting a relaxed atmosphere close to shops, restaurants and easy access to the beach and/or pool. My four children LOVED the pool and also the daily walks we took to the private island- early mornings were great as well as watching the sunset in the late evenings. The scenary of the sound was just amazing! We also enjoyed spending MOST of our "family" time on the outside porch- PRICELESS! The owners reached out several times to make sure we had everything we needed and were a pleasure to deal with. I hope to spend many more vacations at TimeOUT!

A Great Place To Get Away

Our entire family (there were 10 of us) all enjoyed our stay in "Timeout". The house was very clean upon arrival. We had a wonderful relaxing vacation. The men golfed, the women shopped and we all had a day at the beach and at Ft. Macon. We definitely like the 2 dishwashers and ice maker in the kitchen and the washer and dryer...all were used alot. I am handicapped, so the elevator was a bonus. The large dining room was an ideal place for board games after dinner. We would recommend this home for others to use, in fact we have already recommended it to our friends.

I can not begin to describe how much my family and I enjoyed the Time Out Beach House. We lived in a fantasy world for a week! The home is amazing, not to mention the neighborhood. Every amenity you can think of is supplied, from a grill, electric car, screened in porch, elevator, games, beach accessories, etc. Regardless of your age, or what you are celebrating, this is the perfect choice. We could not have asked for a better vacation destination. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to have the oppoortunity to do it again very soon!

We stayed at Timeout over the Columbus Day Holiday. Lots of family and plenty of elbow room. We really enjoyed the quick access to the beach and shopping. The pool and porch were our favorite hangouts. Owners allowed weary travelers to check in and refresh before our photo shoot at Fort Macon. A memorable moment for the grandchildren riding in the electric cart. Thanks to the owners!

What a wonderful place to stay. We have stayed at your home twice. Once when our son left for Afghastian and a year later when he came home. I can't say enough about the house. The beds are very comfortable and the master bath is fabulous. The elevator was great so that the grandparents could also come with us and be able to get around the house with ease. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us
