Great weekend

My daughter and I packed up our dogs for a last minute getaway to the beach. Alex’s property was perfect - from the house itself, to the large fenced in backyard, to the location to ocean. Really enjoyed our time there.

Cozy home with a great backyard for pups!

This home was well taken care of and any concerns or questions we had were responded to quickly. We rented for a family wedding and had pups with us, they LOVED the large fenced in yard and made friends with the neighbor's pups. Would rent again!

Great Location- Big Backyard

Great location, super close to Atlantic Beach - Emerald Isle. Quiet neighborhood with all the creature comforts close by. We brought our 2 dogs and they had a blast running and playing in the big backyard. Alex (Owner) is on top of everything and available when you need him. We would stay again.

Visiting Family

Great house and great location! The backyard was perfect for our fur babies---but would be perfect for human babies too---completely fenced and a wonderful large covered patio. House had plenty of room for the 4 of us, but can accommodate more guests comfortably. The hosts were very responsive. Nice quiet neighborhood. Will stay again .

Very clean and family-friendly

The house provided lots of space for my family of 8 to gather for meals, card games, etc. There is indoor and outdoor space and the house was very clean. The description says 5min from the beach but we found it was more like 10min drive (we went several times) but that being said there is even a beach without paid parking just a short drive away. The hosts helped us add a night to our stay and provided helpful details. The check-in was super smooth and flexible.

BEST Overnight Stay!

We could only coordinate an overnight stay at the beach due to conflicting schedules and spring breaks. We absolutely loved the entire home setting. We especially enjoyed sitting around the fire pit and the back deck making smores listening to music, singing, laughing, and talking. Wonderful weather although we all smelled like smoke by the time we went to bed lol. We couldn't get enough of sitting around the fire and watching the night stars. Great memories with our teens/young adult. Everything we needed to feel home away from home. Our dog loved hanging out with us in the back yard too.

Great for families!

We came here spontaneously for a much needed beach weekend and wanted to take our two dogs with us. This home was available at the last minute and it was perfect for our little family. We just wanted to a place to sleep at night, but the home had a lot to enjoy. Although the interior utilities were a bit dated, it was in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood and had exactly what we needed. The dogs enjoyed running around the huge fenced backyard. We enjoyed the hammocks and the fire pit in the evening. Alex was very easy to get ahold of and quick with his replies. We have never been to Atlantic beach before and it was wonderful. The home is very close to the beach and great restaurants. This home was perfect for our first time! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Really bad experience.

It was really bad experience I came to the house and somebody was there. I paid for it. I have to cancel my trip and come back at home on the midnight. Really disappointed

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Aug, 2022
Sorry about your bad experience Daniela. Like I had explained to you before, the issue was not with the host but rather an issue with VRBO and calendar sinking with Airbnb. To help resolve the the issue the host tried to find a substitute home for the guess to stay. VRBO took responsibility for it fix the the calendar sinking issue and immediately refund the guest. This has never happened before and we hope it doesn’t happen again. Thanks

We are a family of 4. My wife Gaby and I have 2 beautiful kids. We moved to Morehead City from Boston Mass. I am originally from Dominican Republic and my wife was born in Guatemala. We love to volunteer our time to help others learn about God and how the bible can help us in hard times.

Why they chose this property

This is a very quiet and relaxing neighborhood. You will be able to relax and 💤 get a good night sleep after a day at the beach or wherever you want to hang out. Home is close to the center of Morehead and about 5 minutes away from the beach
