About this property

Oyster Shack by the Bay / 4 minutes to Morehead City Waterfront/Big Rock Landing

This immaculate 2 bedroom, 1 & ½ bath cottage, including an enclosed double car garage, is located within minutes of downtown Morehead City’s waterfront and all the fun activities and restaurants it has to offer. The cottage can house 4 people comfortably, and I just recently replaced the couch with a sleeper sofa that can accommodate 2 additional guests. It is in a transitional neighborhood and within walking distance of the Calico Creek Boardwalk/Bird Sanctuary and Morehead City Waterfront where the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament and NC Seafood Festival are held each year. Many other water accesses are close by, including the Intracoastal Waterway and sandy beaches overlooking it. Historic Beaufort is 9 minutes away by car.

The cottage is equipped with a full kitchen, high speed internet, and 3 smart TVs. There is also a gas grill and all kinds of equipment to enjoy the beach or try your hand at catching fish or crabs. Bring your boat as there is parking space for 3 cars and a boat with trailer.
Well behaved pets are welcome for an extra fee. If you would like to let them outside for a while unleashed, the enclosed garage has a doggie door that leads into a small fenced-in area outside. There is also an off-leash dog park at the Rotary Park Dog Park a few miles away from the cottage.

The property was beautifully decorated, the host, Pamela, was so nice and promptly responded to any questions I had. This was probably one of the best vacation homes I’ve ever stayed in. We had a great time and hated to leave!

Pamela was so easy to chat with. We just got home from a great time at the oyster shack. The house has everything you need. We had a 3 day baseball tournament and the location to the field was perfect as well as the home run derby. Tower 7 was our favorite restaurant and all the kids loved sunset slushy. We cooked out on the grill 3 times and we even used the ball field down the street for some hitting practice. Thanks again Pamela for a great stay.

Property was great and was perfect for what we needed it for. Myself and a buddy were in town diving with Olympus Dive Center, and this accomodated our needs perfectly. The house was super clean, and super comfortable. There was a hose where we could rinse off our gear, and a garage where we could hang stuff to dry. Honestly I could not have asked for anything better. The neighborhood is in transition, but I have had zero issues the multiple times I have stayed on this side of the tracks. I hope this place is available again next time I am in town as I would definitly stay here again.

Excellent Beach Escape

The house was immaculate! The 15 yo boys loved the garage and all the fun things it had to offer. It was a great relaxing weekend. Owners really thought of everything you may need. The welcome bottle of wine was a great personal touch! Bathrooms included essentials like toothbrushes, q-tips and all the little things travelers typically forget!
