About this property
Oceanfront Beach House on Highly Sought After Ocean Ridge
509 Ocean Ridge is a cozy oceanfront home in Atlantic Beach. The house is situated right on the beach overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Our cottage is well-suited for a large family to enjoy time together, with ample room for everyone. You will enjoy the vintage beach cottage vibe that begs you to relax and enjoy your surroundings. The open living space includes a fully equipped kitchen, spacious and comfortable living room and large dining table. Cook your “fresh catch” on the outdoor gas grill. A deck with picnic table is on the front of the house where you and your family can have a relaxing outdoor meal - or just relax. On the large oceanfront deck, you can enjoy sitting (or swinging) in the shade, or lounging in the sun. Just a few steps off the deck and you will feel the sand between your toes! The enclosed sun porch next to the open deck with a table and chairs can be used for dining, games, or writing your next novel. We suggest that you plan your day so that you can catch the phenomenal sunrises and sunsets from one location due to the south-facing beach! Make sure you have your camera ready! Our home is a short distance from the Coral Bay Shopping Center, as well as numerous fine dining restaurants and coffee houses. Local gift shops, art galleries, and surf shops are scattered throughout the area. Fort Macon State Park, the North Carolina Aquarium, and several other museums are located in nearby Morehead City, Beaufort, and Harkers Island. Atlantic Beach Town Park is nearby and features mini golf, a skate park, and a splash pad for the young (and young-at heart) crowd. For the fishermen, opportunities abound, including charter boats, surf fishing, and dive charters. Or explore nearby Shackleford Island or Cape Lookout National Seashore with one of the local ferry services.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

My family and friends enjoyed our vacation here so much! The outdoor space was great as it included a covered porch and large deck to enjoy, no matter the weather. There is also a beautiful breakfast room with amazing views. Plenty of bedrooms to accomodate our large family. Comfortable living space with room to spread out. Outstanding vacation.

This is a terrific home for a group. It was very clean, comfortable, and the hosts were very communicative and accommodating. Great porch for sitting and taking in the ocean views and peacefulness! We would definitely stay here again.
The house was terrific, check in was a breeze, house was very clean and well stocked. The neighborhood is wonderful and location was just what we needed. Look forward to staying again at this property.

Ideal venue for my family
I recently brought my family down to attend our niece's wedding, and the property was ideal. Well located, in an outstanding neighborhood, and central to everything we needed. Being on beach was amazing.

Thank you. We are glad that you enjoyed our cottage. We hope to see you next year.
We just finished at 4 night stay at this property. We had 7 adults and 4 children with plenty of room. We enjoyed being able to walk on and off of the beach which only had a few people on it because it’s only open to the few houses right there on the beach. We also enjoyed the outdoor showers for when you come off the beach. We utilized the front and back porches which all had plenty of tables and seating. We had a great stay and would love to visit again.

Thank you Heather. We are so glad that your stay at our beach home was enjoyable. It is our goal to give you a comfortable home for your stay. The beach does the rest!
We would love to have you stay here for your next visit.
The house was perfect for our family (6 adults and 3 teens). There was ample bedrooms and space for everyone to spread out. We especially loved being beach front and all the outdoor space. We ate dinner on the deck facing the street and then retired to the ocean front deck each night to enjoy the breeze and ocean sounds. We would absolutely rent this house again!

We had a wonderful stay at the house! The location is fantastic, and the layout is ideal—honestly, I could totally see pie family living here! One small suggestion I have would be to include a note in the listing about the need to bring your own linens (whether by renting them or bringing your own). It would help make the experience even more seamless for future guests. Thank you!!

Thank you for the great review. It was a pleasure to host you and your guests for Memorial Day Weekend.
Thanks also for bringing to our attention the need to include a note about providing your own linens. I reviewed our listing and verified that our linen policy is provided, but I agree that it needs to be more prominently displayed. For future rentals I will make sure I mention this in our communications with our guests.
Our stay was great and relaxing.
There were 8 adults and 4 kids in our party and we were very comfortable. Lots of out door covered space to gather, eat and hang out. Walking access to the beach made life easy if you needed to get something from the house. We prepared all meals at the house, due to short stay, with no issue. Communication with the owner/manager was promoted and friendly, and much appreciated.

Thank you for the positive review. It was a pleasure to be able to serve as the host for your stay in Atlantic Beach. We hope that you will return and stay with us again.
Check in was easy. Property managers responded to questions quickly. House was so absolutely immaculate, gorgeous, spacious, and comfortable, it far exceeded our expectations, even though the VRBO posting made it look amazing enough!! Access to the beach was such a short and easy walk. Nice amenities everywhere on the property. It’s clear the house and property are well maintained. We will definitely be returning!

We are so happy that you enjoyed our beach cottage. We look forward to your stay with us in the future.
The place was in a good location. The house was nice, just a little dated (we had an interior designer staying in the house). We were surprised that the linens were not included. Our experience at other places the linens were included. Plenty of room, and even extra rooms we did not even use. Overall a good experience.

Thank you for the review and the feedback. Your comments will be helpful in determining how we communicate with our guests in the future, and things we might consider for updating our cottage. We are glad that you had a good experience overall.
Five girlfriends take a beach trip every year and this will be a house we will come back to. The owners were so helpful, the house was roomy and you can tell they visit often because the house had everything we needed and more. The views were amazing and there were two GREAT porches with lots of seating.
There was a mixup about the linens and we didn't bring ours. One of the owners came out after her day of work to let us into the personal linens so we didn't have to try and get them somewhere else. She stayed to visit for about 30 minutes and we told her that we could have fit her right into our group. :)

We are so glad that you and your girlfriends enjoyed the house. We are sorry for the confusion about the linens but are glad that we were able to rectify the situation to your satisifaction.
Incredible home with plenty of room and easy walk to the beach. The front porch was the perfect place for kids to hang while the parents relaxed on the covered back porch.

My husband and I needed some relaxation after Thanksgiving, and this Atlantic Beach did not let us down. We enjoyed the beautiful ocean views and colorful sunsets. We felt as if we were staying in someone’s family home place.

I am glad that you and your husband enjoyed our beach cottage and the surrounding towns. Should you ever just need another getaway, please keep us in mind.
The property was very clean and everything onsite was as promised in the listing. The back porch is huge and while we were a family of four this house would comfortably fit multiple families.

About the host
Hosted by Gaye Mashburn
Our beach home is owned by three sisters whose parents, Calvin and Jean Wellons, bought this cottage in 1987 so they could have a place for the whole family to gather and enjoy spending time together. Although Calvin and Jean have both passed away, their children and grandchildren are still making memories here that will last for generations to come. The Wellons Family has opened their home for others to enjoy and make their own special memories while enjoying the amazing oceanfront at Atlantic Beach. Many of our guests return year after year for their family getaways. It is our goal to provide a family-oriented and relaxing home for you to enjoy all that Atlantic Beach has to offer.
Why they chose this property
This home has been beautifully maintained and is a great place for a large family to be accommodated. There are numerous gathering spaces available for people of all ages to enjoy.

If you prefer to dine outside, there is an upper deck on the front of the house adjacent to the kitchen with picnic tables. On the oceanfront, there is an enclosed sun porch and a large open deck. Inside there is a large family room in the center. It is a very comfortable home to enjoy your vacation!
