This is our second time staying here. Great location,beautiful ocean view, pet friendly, many extras, owner quickly responded to questions. We'll be back next year!
We really enjoyed our stay!! The place was clean, well stocked and clean place. Really an enjoyable stay! The walk to the beach, pier and the near by restaurant was very very amazing.
Have stayed here a few times now and it’s always been clean and ready to go when we arrived. Plenty of kitchen items to get started for the week in fantastic location. Great vacation again!
Spoiled by the views from the master bedroom and the easiest access to the beach. The house feels like an old family home that you visit at the end of the season.
Direct access to the beach and the pier is a very short walk. The view is awesome, especially the sunrise and sunset. We had the pleasure of meeting Lee and Dawn during our vacation, and they are great hosts! This house has everything you need for your stay, but restaurants and grocery stores are very close by. This will be our go to place to stay in Atlantic Beach!
We LOVED staying here . We will definitely be back! It was everything plus more . The home was clean and the location was AMAZING . Direct access to the beach was the best . Homeowner provided everything you could need for fun at the beach as well.
Awesome location, walkable to many restaurants and the beach is your backyard. The pier (and pier restaurant) are 4 houses away down the beach. The house is well equipped with household needs and has tons of beach toys, chairs, etc. this is our second year staying at this home and we expect next year to be our third!
The pictures don’t do the property justice…the property was clean, beautiful, and relaxing. Getting in touch with the owners was never a problem. They were very responsive. I would love to go back again! Thank you for a wonderful vacation!!!
Whithaven 2 was well-stocked and had everything we needed to enjoy our time just steps from the beach. We found the rental description spot on and the owner was readily accessible. The property highlights included the view and the easy access to the beach. Two of the guests were elderly and not able to walk through the sand but thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the decks to soak up the sun and sounds while reminiscing! We highly recommend this property and look forward to staying here whenever we are in the area!
My family thoroughly enjoyed our week here! The location is great!! Walk to restaurants, bike to Ft Macon, or just wander out the deck door to the ocean. The well-appointed kitchen and family friendly seating made mealtimes easy and a great space for connecting after our sunny days outside. The spacious deck was also a family favorite. The house was clean with great light and plenty of space. The managers/owners were super friendly and easy to connect with. Highly recommend this place for family vacations!!
The house is ideally located as it overlooks the dunes, the beach, and the ocean. The generous deck lets you enjoy your morning coffee while relaxing to the sound of the waves. Deck is equipped with comfortable chairs, a grill, and a shower to rinse of at the end of your day on the beach. The kitchen has enough dishware to feed about 10 people. There are modern appliances in the kitchen. The house is clean upon arrival and has the means to keep it up while you are there.
The duplex is an excellent choice for relaxing at Atlantic Beach, NC. The space is very clean with comfortable furniture especially the king bed in the master bedroom. Great views of the ocean from the living room and master bedroom and a pet friendly environment. Our dogs enjoyed our week here too! The kitchen has everything you need for a great stay so well furnished if you want to cook.The owner is a terrific communicator. We had two questions during our stay and Lee answer quickly in a very helpful way. The location is perfect with plenty of restaurants nearby or a short drive away in Morehead City. A five star experience and we plan to return on 2025!
Great location and ocean front was spectacular!Walking distance to plenty of sites and restaurants. You can see the sunrise and sunset from the balcony deck. Wonderful time would love to come back.
The house was perfect and easily accessible to the ocean. We all enjoyed our vacation and the location was great! Our best family vacation. The owners were extremely nice and offered excellent recommendations. We will rent again for sure.
