About this property

~Creek front heaven! Stunning View~ Private dock~

Waterfront!!! 4BDR 3 bath house on Dill Creek in Morehead City. Unbelievable views throughout the day. Large live oak trees give a down east vibe. Large private dock with covered patio for relaxing. Living room boasts an all glass view of saltwater wildlife. Its very common to see Egrets walking around to marsh. Enjoy fishing, crabbing, or kayaking in your front yard. Tide dependent boat access to fishing all over Morehead City. At night the dock glows blue to light the path to the patio. Less than a mile from the Morehead waterfront and three miles to Atlantic Beach. Property is close to Morehead baseball stadium and Rotary park. Great backyard for families. Covered parking. Quite neighborhood.

We loved the large rooms, especially the living room with a wall of windows and sliding glass doors to view the large deck and back yard. Always lovely views and room for the whole family. We loved going to Atlantic Beach and Fort Macon which were very close. It was a beautifully decorated, cozy, comfortable home.

About the host

Hosted by Mel Petersen

Host profile image
My wife and I have been coming to the Atlantic Beach area since we were both kids. I actually met my wife at the old Atlantic Beach circle. We had always wanted a house of our own in the area. After searching for years we found this house on Dill Creek in Morehead City. When we first looked at the house we immediately walked in the backyard and knew we wanted the place. The views are incredible all day and my kids love playing around the live oak trees. The long private dock is so convenient for kayaking and boating. We really hope you enjoy staying at the property as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The views!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Private dock!!!!!!!!

What makes this property unique

Waterfront view from the living room and upper bedrooms.
