Great week at the beach with my family. Great house very close to the beach. Loved the wrap around deck. My wife and I sat out there every morning and enjoyed our coffee. This house has everything you need. Will definitely book with these owners again. Kids loved the retro arcade game as well. 5 star rating excellent

This was a great house and a great fit for an extended-family get together. The upstairs and downstairs as well as outdoor deck provided plenty of space for three generations. The bikes and beach gear were awesome. Kids loved the outdoor shower which has hot and cold water. We did a puzzle and played games on rainy days - aquarium as well as mini-golf, go carts, and bumper boats are just up the road. Easy drive to Beaufort and Morehead City! Thank you for recycling !!

We were delighted to stay here for the 4th of July week! The property manager was communicative and accommodating. The neighbors were sweet and the place was clean, cozy, and, quiet and convenient. A stone's throw from the beach, the beach house was nestled within a cove of trees that was quite enchanting. We were very fortunate to find this lovely home.

Family Beach Trip

Each year our extended family takes a trip to the area and we all really enjoyed this property. It was very clean and was well stocked with games, videos, and beach supplies. We had children between the ages of 5-18 and all of them found games and toys they enjoyed. We also really appreciated the beach carts to help carry things back and forth from the beach. The adults all loved the peacefulness of the deck and listening to the waves. Great property with a great location!

Thanksgiving with our Marine

The property was a perfect hang out for my family over Thanksgiving weekend. We came out to see our Marine and brought his new niece to meet him for the first time. Weather wasn’t great but we made it work. Was real close to the beach and had just about anything we would need for cooking a big family meal for the holiday. Mannette was very responsive to all our needs, beds were very comfy! We would stay here again. Thanks for all your hospitality.

Fantastic Family Accommodations

This beach getaway was the perfect place for our family visit. Communication was great from the start. This house had everything we needed for the beach and the location was perfect for visiting the Aquarium, Fort Macon, and Shackleford Island. All the amenities listed in the description were above and beyond what we needed. I loved sitting on the deck and relaxing to the sound of the ocean. The beach access was within walking distance or you could use a private residential parking area with easy access. We had the best time coming from California to visit our Carolina relatives. Thank you for providing such an enjoyable place to stay. I would definitely rebook this property again.

Beach Getaway

This property is amazing! The location is very central yet off the main road. Beach access is a short walk. Sitting on the deck, you will enjoy your morning coffee listening to the waves and can see the ocean from across the street. Very relaxing. The deck will absolutely be your favorite spot while here. I love the way the sun shines on different areas throughout the day. The hosts are amazing and leave you everything you could want to enjoy your stay. From bikes to beach toys to video games for the older ones to enjoy. If you are looking to separate yourself from the teens this is definitely the house for you. The downstairs area is a paradise for them while you are able to enjoy the comforts of home upstairs. The hosts are so responsive to any needs or requests. I highly recommend this property and hope to visit again soon.

Absolutely wonderful!

This was a great find! There were 10 of us in our extended family and it was big enough to spread out but also have lots of time together. Access to the ocean was about a block away if walking or two blocks to park. We explored several beaches on the island and this one was by far our favorite. The house was in a very quiet and private location. Even though there were neighbors we felt like we had lots of privacy. The owner had excellent communication. Even though we didn’t have any issues, she texted and emailed just to make sure all was good. We visited bird shoal and found sand dollars and shark tooth island to find tons of shark teeth. The fisherman in our group caught shark off the beach. I honestly cannot say enough good about this place. It was a wonderful stay!!!

Great house - we recommend!

The house is just as pictured, with multiple gathering spaces which is helpful when traveling with multiple families and ages. Beds & rooms are comfy. Kitchen is very well stocked with owners even leaving their spice cabinet unlocked. Although we brought everything we needed with us, it made it feel like they were sharing their home with us, rather than a sterile rental property. Owners seem to visit frequently and thus have lots of extras available that a pure rental property wouldn’t. We drove in so we were able to bring our own beach gear but they have everything we would have wanted, including a cart (which we did happily use)! There isn’t a view of the ocean, but you can hear the waves from the porch and it is a super quick easy walk to an uncrowded beach. Owners were thoughtful and responsive with all communication. One thing I wish Vrbo would share with renters is exactly what the check in/checkout process is for each property so I will share that here. At check-in, clean sheets are left in each bedroom for you to make the beds yourself. There is a code so you can let yourself in - no office check-in needed. At checkout, take kitchen trash & recycling to outside cans, put all used towels & sheets in laundry room, and wash and put away all dishes. We loved our time here and would heartily recommend it to others.

About the host

Hosted by Neal and Marietta Craft

Host profile image

My name is Marietta. My husband and I live in North Carolina, enjoy the outdoors and traveling. We love the Pine Knoll Shores area because of the quiet neighborhood and beautiful beach.
We want our home to be your home during your vacation. If you are looking for great food or some night life, it is not far away. This is a great place to entertain family and friends with plenty of places to spread out and chat or play a game or two. I love to read and so there is a collection of books to choose from. We have more than one gaming system. There are two main gathering rooms; one upstairs and one down. This enables the gaming crowd and the those who want to chat to have separate areas. There is also a pocket door between the large kitchen area and living room for privacy.

Why they chose this property

Our 3000 sq ft home is located in a quiet, safe neighborhood next to the beach. It offers privacy and is much better than having tight space with other people on all sides.
Take in a sunrise or sunset walk on the beach or enjoy the view from the deck with a warm cup of coffee in the morning or cocktail at night. Relax, kick back and enjoy time with your loved ones. This home has something for everyone. Are you into sports and cycling? There are bicycles for your use and boogies boards for hitting the waves at the beach. Into gaming,? There is a Wii, Playstation and arcade games? These are available in the downstairs den. Want to pamper yourself, take a seat in the full body massage chair. The kitchen is fully equipped for those into cooking and plenty of seating for those into eating. Several sitting areas for being with family and friends both inside and out.

What makes this property unique

Very spacious 3000 sq ft with massage chair, corn hole, beach chairs, wagons and carts for hauling things to the beach, bicycles, and beach toys are here for you to enjoy. If you need things for a baby, I can supply you with a stroller, car seat and changing pads, as well as toddler toys and equipment
