About this property
Spectacular Oceanfront Family Cottage Retreat in Atlantic Beach!
Graley Cottage exudes all the charm of a classic beach cottage from the 50’s but has been renovated and beautifully furnished to include all the modern conveniences. Just a short walk from the deck over the dunes to the beach and surf, Graley Cottage is oceanfront in a quiet family neighborhood on a cul-de-sac in the highly desirable Club Colony area of Atlantic Beach. It features 6 bedrooms (including two separate master suites), 6 baths, 3 separate family/tv areas (great for when the kids want to watch their own movies and ground floor playroom has a sofa pull out queen bed so can serve as 7th bedroom), a spacious oceanfront family room and adjoining spacious dining room for your family gatherings, and a fabulous deck for enjoying the dunes and ocean views
The cottage is equipped with high speed internet , wireless internet, a 55 inch OLED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV in the first floor family room, a 32 inch Smart TV in the second floor family room and 42 inch OLED HD Smart TV in ground floor playroom. Each of the bedrooms have a 10 inch tablet for your entertainment convenience. There is ample outdoor parking for up to 5 cars.
The first floor exterior features a large covered beach side porch and sun deck with dining table, dining chairs and rocking chairs perfect for enjoying that first cup of coffee in the morning and for relaxing sunset dinners or late night cocktails. While you are relaxing on the deck, the kids can play in the swings, swinging bench or hammock below. The first floor exterior also features a covered street side porch perfect for just hanging out in the rocking chairs. Both beach side and street side porches are connected by a lovely wraparound deck (938 sq ft decking).
The interior first floor consists of the spacious family room and master bedroom (with a Queen bed and ensuite bath with tub & shower) both overlooking the beach, two additional bedrooms (each with a Queen bed) that share a jack & jill full bath with walk-in shower, another smaller study/bedroom with a twin bed and a nearby full bath with tub & shower, a beautiful fully-equipped kitchen (including new induction range with full convection, air fry and air sous vide) with custom made cabinetry and granite counter tops which opens to the dining room.
The second floor features a second master bedroom with a queen bed, ensuite bath with walk-in shower, and walk-in closet and nice panoramic ocean views, a second bedroom with two queen beds and a nearby full bath with a tub & shower, and a second family room perfect for kids to hang out and play or watch tv. These upstairs rooms are stocked with books for all age levels.
The street level features a utility room with washer/dryer, packed beach bags and a large playroom with sofa pull away queen bed, smart TV, bath with 2 walk-in showers and bathroom. The playroom is stocked with games and crafts to entertain the kids. There is an adjoining garage with a second refrigerator/freezer, a large Weber gas grill, a Weber charcoal grill, a large storage area with road bicycles, beach toys, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, outdoor games and related beach gear. Outside the garage beachside are more beach toys, kayak, 2 paddle boards, long board, boogie boards and an outside shower with hot/cold water- good for post beach showering.
In short, Graley Cottage is the perfect place for family fun where you can enjoy all the ocean has to offer from just a shells throw from the surf. You will want to return every year.

About the host
Hosted by Stephanie Kuykendall
Graley Cottage has been owned by the same family since it was purchased in the 1950’s by our grandparents, Staley and Grace Cook of Burlington, NC (hence the name “Graley”). It was lovingly renovated and expanded by our Mom, Nancy Cook Moore, also of Burlington, NC in 2006. Mom left it to her children to enjoy and preserve for generations to come. We consider it a little bit of heaven on earth and hope you will too!
Why they chose this property
What makes this property unique
Four generations of our family have enjoyed vacations at Graley Cottage. Whether it is fishing, shell hunting, surfing, exploring Fort Macon, jogging on the beach, reading in the hammock, or hanging out on the sun deck with family and friends, we think there is no place like Graley Cottage.
