Good to know

Have a clean and comfortable house to yourself! An awesome nature retreat right on the tidal creek called Ollies Creek. Osprey, heron, ducks, geese and many other coastal birds are regularly within sight behind the house to see! You'll have full and private access to all main floor areas (owner's quarters upstairs are locked off and not in use while you visit) - including a large master bedroom (with a king size bed), and adjoining full private bath, well appointed kitchen, laundry room, living room with a big screen TV and Cable, dining room, and delightful screened in back porch. If you have one extra person, the couch could also be available for sleeping. The kitchen has everything you need to cook your own food, including full stove, spices and kitchen supplies, a bullet for your smoothies, and an airfryer! Notes: This is a private home that is deep-cleaned and shared when the owner is not in town. This is not just a vacant rental unit. Linens and towels provided. We welcome nice, responsible humans of all races, ethnicities, origins, genders, orientations, and religions! This home is in Eastern North Carolina, near the water. While we have regular pest control visits, you may still encounter a bug or two. The home is professionally cleaned between every guest and bugs just sometimes appear in this region.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

The home is nestled in a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood. Those looking for a nice quiet stay, wanting to enjoy nature, or be close to the beach without being in the hustle and bustle of the busy main streets will love this location. Not a suitable spot for those looking to crank the tunes, let loose, and have a good time with some friends. Nearby Atlantic Beaches' are pristine, sandy beaches that are only minutes away and feature plenty of recreational activities like Morehead City's sport fishing charter boats, golfing, kayaking and swimming. Search for Blackbeard's treasure at nearby historic Beaufort and watch the fish swim at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. Civil War-era Fort Macon State Park is only a 10-minute drive from the cozy house.

Guest Access

Parking is in the spacious driveway off street. Temporary boat trailer parking available if needed. An electronic door lock code will be sent to you after you book, so you can check yourself in and out. We have helpers and friends around to assist locally should you need anything.

The house was clean well equipped with kitchen tools and dishes to eat in. Great location and the host was very responsive to any questions we had, went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed.

Above and beyond hospitality- everything we could have asked for (and more) was there! The hosts are so kind to check in and make sure that you are happy through your stay. The home is just perfect and we really enjoyed sitting on the back deck! The home is in a lovely quiet neighborhood, but only a couple minutes drive from restaurants and bars and many other to-dos. We really hope to come back to this home in our future, as it was a genuinely lovely experience.

Great home convenient to Morehead and Beaufort. Unfortunately weather and tide did not allow us to kayak. We hope to return in cooler weather. Home is larger than it looks in photos.

I loved this little gem! Super clean, great location, comfy furniture, relaxing views, thoughtful touches/supplies and nice host. We came for the wooden bat tournament and it was close to all the fields yet less than ten minutes from the beach. Couldn’t be happier with this home and would definitely rent again. Thanks Linda!

Great home to relax and use as a home base for the Morehead City / Atlantic Beach area. We really enjoyed staying at this home. It was tastefully decorated, very clean and well appointed so we could just unpack and make ourselves at home. We love sitting out in the screened in porch enjoying the birds and the fresh air. The location was super quiet with friendly neighbors. It was a great home base to visit nearby Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle, Beaufort and Morehead city. Linda was a great host, provided clear instructions and quick responses to our needs. We found opportunities to go to the beach, ride our bikes, kayak, visit Fort Macon and attend a wedding at the nearby Beaufort Hotel. We would definitely book this property again next time we visit.
