Only 2-miles to Atlantic Beach!

Boat trailer parking (RESTRICTIONS: to prevent damage to lawn boats are limited to 26' max, single outboard, and dual axel trailer max. Non-negotiable.

Perfect place for a stay! Convenient to all attractions. Enjoyed the decor! Host was so kind! Plenty of room to park! Room was very clean & well stocked for morning coffee! We loved staying here!
We had an amazing stay in Morehead City! The property was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect—close to the waterfront, local restaurants, and all the charm that Morehead City has to offer.The host was friendly, responsive, and made sure every detail was taken care of. The accommodations were exactly as described, and we felt right at home from the moment we arrived.We especially enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful coastal surroundings. This was one of the best stays we've had, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area. We look forward to coming back again!
Perfect for two and a dog for a quick getaway weekend at the beach! All the amenities you need and a fully gated yard for the pup to run freely. A small propane grill sits outside if you want to cook (microwave, small sink, and single-serve kuerig inside too). This is a studio room off to the side of a garage, but you’d never know! It is a completely finished space. Parking is easy, communication with the host is great — would recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Ted Kenneally
Your hosts, Kathy and Ted, lived in NYC for ten years and the coast of Maine for seven, prior to moving to Morehead City in 2007. Eastern NC reminds us a good deal of coastal Maine believe it or not, minus the snow! We enjoy travel ourselves but always enjoy coming "home" to Carteret County.
Why they chose this property
Ted is a history buff and appreciates the quiet little neighborhood the cottage is in due to the fact that it once was an army base in the early 1900s called, Camp Glenn. As a matter of fact most locals refer to this neighborhood still as, "Camp Glenn." So if anyone asks where your delightful cottage is just tell them that and they'll know where it's located! North Carolina soldiers trained here for the Spanish American War in 1898.
What makes this property unique
The studio is unique in that it is in a great central location for exploring the Crystal Coast. Atlantic Beach is a 7-minute drive, Beaufort is 12-minutes, Big Rock Baseball Stadium is 5-minutes. The hospital is so close that the helicopters occasionally land and take off nearby for some excitement but never a disturbance. The Crystal Coast Welcome Center is just across Arendell/Hwy 70 as is the public boat ramp, community college and civic center. Super market is 2-minutes away.
