Our Family Story

Graley Cottage has been part of our family for more than 70 years.

Our grandparents, Staley and Grace Cook of Burlington, North Carolina, purchased the cottage in the 1950s. The name “Graley” comes from the first names of our grandparents - Grace and Staley - and has been part of our family’s history ever since.

In 2006, our mother, Nancy Cook Moore, lovingly renovated and expanded the cottage while preserving the charm and character that made it so special to our family.

Mom eventually left Graley Cottage to her five children and grandchildren, with the hope that we would continue to enjoy it together and preserve it for generations to come.

Over the years, Graley Cottage has been the setting for countless family vacations, long summer days at the beach, dinners on the porch, children’s adventures, and memories that our family treasures.

We think of Graley Cottage as a little piece of heaven on earth. It is a very special place to our family, and we feel fortunate to be able to share it with other families.

We hope that while you’re here, you’ll relax, have fun, make some wonderful memories of your own—and perhaps fall in love with Graley Cottage the way we have.

We hope you’ll come back year after year.

Why they chose this property

Our grandparents chose Atlantic Beach in the 1950s because our grandfather loved to fish and they wanted a special place where their children and grandchildren could gather and enjoy the beach together. That tradition has continued for five generations.

We especially love the Club Colony neighborhood because it has the feeling of a true family beach community. Graley Cottage is located on a quiet cul-de-sac, yet it’s close to everything that makes Atlantic Beach special—from the beautiful beach and ocean to Fort Macon and all of the activities, restaurants and attractions nearby.

It’s the kind of neighborhood where you can slow down, enjoy the beach, and simply spend time together as a family.

What makes this property unique

Five generations of our family have enjoyed vacations at Graley Cottage, and we believe there is truly no place quite like it. Over the years, our family has fished, searched for shells, surfed, explored Fort Macon, jogged along the beach, read in the hammock, and spent countless hours together on the sun deck overlooking the ocean.

Graley Cottage isn’t just a beach house to us - it is a place filled with family memories and traditions. We hope that when you stay here, you’ll make wonderful memories of your own and discover what makes Graley Cottage so special.
