About this property

Oceanfront Home with Coastal Charm


Treat your friends and family to this mid-century architectural gem and enjoy breathtaking views of pristine beach and the namesake waters of the Crystal Coast. With so many amenities, including a screened-in porch, outdoor shower, and other thoughtful, practical details, you will have everything you need while you rest and relax the days away on your getaway! The house features striking architectural elements like wood-paneled ceilings, exposed beams and floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the Atlantic Ocean to your doorstep. After beach walks and swimming, enjoy lounging in the cozy living room or chatting with your travel companions on the upper-level patio and screened-in dining porch—the perfect perch year-round for taking in sunrises and sunsets in fiery hues, sipping coffee and watching sea life, or toasting with a glass of champagne. The fully-equipped Heckman House boasts five bedrooms and three bathrooms, sleeping 10-14, including close and extended family and friends. The layout makes gathering as a group easy with bright, open, well-appointed spaces, including a spacious kitchen, dining room and living area with a game table. The dining table extends with an extra leaf to accommodate more guests! On your way up from the beach, enjoy a private enclosed hot/cold outdoor shower amid the sounds of seagulls and roaring surf. The primary bedroom features a king bed and the same dramatic ocean view on show in the spacious living area. Even the window in the en suite master bath offers the perfect picture of the Atlantic Ocean, with the dunes and the waves to watch. Four additional guest bedrooms offer a variety of options for sleeping; a queen in one, a double bed in another, two doubles and two twins, and another ocean-view king just steps from the sand.

A Location to Love

The house is situated in the desirable Pine Knoll Shores neighborhood of Pine Knoll Shores, on Dogwood Circle, known for jaw-dropping ocean views. Located on a pristine stretch of the Carolina coast between Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle amid a heavenly combination of maritime forest nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the sound, this spot is the best of both worlds with privacy and accessibility, with so much to do nearby. Spend time at this incredibly comfortable 2800 sq ft beach house and enjoy swimming, surfing, fishing and building sand castles ’til dark. Head to Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle, nearby Morehead City or historic downtown Beaufort and enjoy everything from pirate tours to ferry cruises, Fort Macon and the NC Aquarium. Shop, explore and dine in a variety of cafes and restaurants. This beloved home, with its unmatched location, is the perfect spot for your Crystal Coast holiday!

About the host

Hosted by Monica L Heckman

Host profile image
Our family has created many happy memories here on the most beautiful beach in the country. This very special home has been the perfect place to celebrate retirement, new babies, family reunions, Easter, Thanksgiving and even a Spring wedding. We still vacation as an extended family every year. As the family grows, we fill every inch of this home with laughs and good times.
The home was designed for private spaces. You can get away from the activity and enjoy a spot on your own, be it on the hammock, or just in your quiet bedroom.

Why they chose this property

Friends,
My Dad was a beach person and when summer vacation time rolled around, he wanted to go to the beach. Mom was fair skinned and sometimes overruled him, but when they retired in 1980, Dad won the day. They built and retired to the house in Pine Knoll Shores, NC. Dad only had a few years in his dream home and when he passed, Mom, Suddenly alone, moved back to Pittsburgh and her old friends. Since then The HECKMAN HOUSE has been "the beach house" for the Heckman's and hundreds of others, too, guests who come for a week or two and then come back again. These people often act like they own the place and we love that , and understand it.

A lot has changed in the past 40+ years at 125--furniture, carpeting, TV's, appliances and wall colors come and go, but the house and it's main attraction the ATLANTIC OCEAN at your door remain the same. There's bright sunshine and freshness in the Spring, long lazy beach days through the Summer, the best weather in the world come Fall and the solace in the Winter, If you've been missing any of that, or just the front porch, please let us know.

Jock and Monica heckman
