Overview
Airy, comfortable home on a pristine beach. family gatherings.
Enjoy the most beautiful beach on the East Coast from this serene light-filled oceanfront home. The clean design and wonderful open floor plan make it the perfect place to bring family and friends together with the Atlantic Ocean as your front yard. Due to the unusual orientation of Bogue Bank, you can watch the sun rise AND set from the dramatic deck of this modern contemporary house. This home is a 40 years
mid century modern design that has been updated in 2018
Simple pleasures for all ages abound: long morning walks, body surfing, world class shell collecting, watching porpoises play from the deck, sunbathing and just getting lost in a good book. Food even tastes better at this location! Serve up a casual seafood supper on the breezy screened porch as the sun begins to set.
Three comfortable bedrooms and two baths on the main floor, including a bright and spacious oceanfront master suite. The lower level with direct beach access offers an additional bedroom, bath and a large bunk room to sleep 6, perfect for cousins or single guests. This is accessed from the steps from the great room.
There are only ten steps to the beach from the lower level.
The home is located in a sleepy beachside community. The nearest major attraction is the wonderful North Carolina Aquarium less than five minutes away. Enjoyable restaurants are within a ten-minute drive.
This home was built in the late 1970's and has remained in our family. It has been enjoyed by four generations and it is 40 years old.
If your group is 'all about the beach,' this is the house for you.
About Monica Heckman
Our family has created many happy memories here on the most beautiful beach in the country. This very special home has been the perfect place to celebrate retirement, new babies, family reunions, Easter, Thanksgiving and even a Spring wedding. We still vacation as an extended family every year. As the family grows, we fill every inch of this home with laughs and good times.
The home was designed for private spaces. You can get away from the activity and enjoy a spot on your own, be it on the hammock, or just in your quiet bedroom.
Monica Heckman purchased this house in 1979
Why Monica Heckman chose Pine Knoll Shores
Quiet, restful, natural location where the ocean is front and center. You will definitely have your place of solitude and privacy on this near-empty stretch of beach. You just don't find this type of beach anymore.
The furniture and decor has been updated in March 2018

Great views
The views are amazing! We enjoyed our stay and look forward to a return trip.
Loved it!
The beach was glorious. What a view!
Amazing location
The house is in a perfect location and as close to the beach as you can get. Yes, the house is a dated and worn but you can tell it is a well loved family home and we felt it had a lot of character and didn't mind it at all. The deck, screened porch, large dining table with open concept kitchen/living worked perfectly for an adults only birthday weekend. While the house was stocked very well overall, toilet paper and trash bags were not and the house manager did not return calls until over a day later (we thought we just couldn't find them because I've never stayed in a VRBO property that only provided one roll of TP per bathroom and only one kitchen size garabage bag). When she did call back, she left a message that someone would drop some by (and by then too late) but no one ever did. Was an inconvenience to run back to the grocery store for two pretty critical items. There also was confusion about check-out time being different on VRBO website than what owner intended which caused a rush on last morning. I shared this feedback with owner after my stay. If these things were corrected I would consider staying again simply because the views and access to beach are unbeatable.
Incredible home with all the amenities
What an amazing experience---location + beautiful well-equipped home = terrific vacation. This is a spacious, open floorpan house with LOTS of windows to see the spectacular views of the beach, sunrises AND sunsets. So comfortable. The big deck and screened in porch are great for unwinding, beds are really comfortable, and furnishings lovely. Thanks so munch Monica! We'll be back :)
Beautiful view, well equipped ,great family house, we had a blast!!
We had everything we needed but needs a little updating. Great property!
I could live there!
So comfortable! Big enough for adults & children to be inside & not be crowded. Fabulous ocean/beach view & access. Well equipped kitchen & plenty of beach chairs & toys. I didn't want to leave!
Map
5 minute drive from the nationally respected North Carolina Aquarium, a great activity for all ages. Other day trips include shopping and sightseeing along the marina in historic Beaufort, NC or a trip to Fort Macon State Park, complete with a preserved Civil War Fort with educational exhibits inside.

I require a $500 security deposit at booking and payment in full 90 days prior to arrival. Guests can contact VRBO to obtain travel and hurricane insurance. This is strongly suggested

To get away from the rest of the "gang" we have a delightful double hammock in a quiet shades area under the main deck.
We do provide starter items, etc. 1 roll of papertowels, 1 roll of toilet paper in every bathroom, fresh cake of soap in every bathroom. There are a few beach chairs and some beach towels. There may be some beach toys in the
