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.
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
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 Central Coast
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.
What makes this house unique
Breezy screened porch, ocean front views from living room, dining room, kitchen, master suite and master bath. Wide deck overlooks the beach. Outdoor shower. No fuss simplicity and comfort - suitable for all ages. Well-behaved pets allowed.

Wonderful!

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!
Best location possible
We had a great time at the Heckman house. I have been visiting the Crystal Coast my entire life and am convinced that this is the best location there is - close enough to the amenities of Atlantic Beach without the crowds. We felt like we had the beach all to ourselves and the view from the house can't be beat.
The house had everything we needed; appliances are new-ish and the kitchen was well-stocked. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the house/furnishings are in need of a facelift in some areas. For example, the mattresses in the queen and full bedrooms are old and noisy, there were huge spiderwebs at the top of the vaulted ceilings, the windows in the living room have a busted seal so they get fogged up and obscure the view, etc. Nothing that had a significant impact on our stay but just wanted to set expectations appropriately - this is definitely an older home with some visible wear and tear from lots of renters over the years.
Will come back.
We loved our vacation and staying at you beach house. We didn't have very good weather but with the view from your floor to ceiling windows, even reading a book inside was enjoyable. It was so nice to have a totally enclosed and gated deck for the little ones and our dog. Loved your remodeled bath downstairs. It was a great vacation and the whole family hopes to come back some time. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
Fabulous
Beautiful house and Monica was very nice to work with! We will return to visit at every opportunity. The property is everything it says and more.
Great time! Nice and quiet.
Just what we were looking for. House felt like home. Would go again.
perfect for family gathering!
Best location ever. Love the back deck, screened porch, outdoor shower and beach walkway. Cottage was comfortable and met all our needs for a relaxing week for all ages. We look forward to returning.
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.
