This house is a great find. House is behind the dunes beach front with a huge backyard area. Kids loved it and we had a blast. Plenty of space inside the home and it is loaded with everything you need including beach toys and supplies. Great host, easy and quick communication.
This was an excellent stay. We had a walking path directly to the beach. Sunsets on the back porch. Comfortably housed 11 people. The host was exceptional with communication.
Property was clean, well organized, and well stocked. Property manager communicated very well. Description was accurate. Enjoyed the weekend at this property!! Be sure to go to the Atlantic Beach Seafood Market and get some Wicked Tuna Salad; soooo good!!
We invited our adult children 5 grandchildren, and one boyfriend to stay with us. The house was perfect with separate spaces, comfortable beds, and amenities galore. The photos don't do it justice. The kitchen is small but efficient and very well stocked. We had everything we needed for the beach and a lot of extras. we will definitely be back!
We loved our stay at this charming home at Atlantic Beach. The house is beautiful with every thing you need for a week at the beach provided. We had every age and there was lots of privacy when needed. The living area was comfortable but we spent must of our time, when not on the beach, on the porch and deck. This home is in a nice area away from the crowds yet close to everything we needed in Atlantic Beach, Morehead City and Beaufort. Stephanie is a wonderful hostess! We finally found a beach house that we look forward to going back to year after year.
We chose this home for an extended family weekend to celebrate my fathers 80th birthday. As this is the first birthday after my mother passed away in December of 2022 (after 59 years of marriage), this time away as a family group was extremely important for all of us. Thank you for providing your lovely home as it was the perfect setting. There was absolutely nothing that could have been better for the family healing and celebration of our patriarch.
We live locally but wanted to be on the ocean for Thanksgiving. This house was perfect for our long weekend stay. The house was very clean. Everything was labeled nicely. We had a great time. Thank you
We very much enjoyed staying at this property. The house has everything you could ever need for a great beach vacation including being super clean. You can walk straight to the beach from the front of the house or the public access is 2 houses down and super easy. We will definitely be back.
Our family just returned from another wonderful week at this house. Stephanie has done a great job furnishing the house and has not left out any detail. It definitely feels like a home away from home as opposed to a rental property. The location is A++. We've already booked again for next summer!
This is our third stay at this property and we absolutely LOVE it! It's homey, beautifully decorated and stocked with the best of everything-linens, beach accessories, beach towels, chairs, etc.. Also, kitchen has everything you would have in your own home including a KitchenAid mixer!
Wonderful property with all the amenities and thoughtful little extras. Great location with a private beach access. Enough parking for three cars. Everything was well organized and the check in/out process was simple. Our family of seven enjoyed our week at this cottage!
We had a great time staying at Graley Cottage! The house was equipped with all necessities for a great weekend, from kitchen/cooking supplies to activities (games, books, etc), as well as beach going/play supplies. The owner is very kind and easy to contact. We thought that there was an extra bed in one of the upstairs bedrooms, as described by the website. It was okay though, as we were able to work out sleeping arrangements. Each of us would highly recommend staying at Graley! :)

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.
