Sea Haven is a cavernous, seven-bedroom, five-bathroom, two-kitchen oceanfront beach home that is located in handsome Atlantic Beach. The home lies in a peaceful, calming neighborhood, yet still sits within walking distance of the Atlantic Beach Boardwalk and a fishing pier with a wide variety of activities and eateries available. The beach in front of the home is relatively peaceful and secluded, and you will often find yourself alone with your thoughts in the early morning. This broad beach escape is 3 stories high and an AMAZING value for such a big place!

The main home is on the 2nd and 3rd floors. It is entered through stairs on the parking side, or via the deck stairs on the ocean side. The 2nd floor has a entryway, full kitchen, dining area, living room, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a washer/dryer. The 3rd floor has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, with one of the bedrooms offering a modest breakfast table overlooking the ocean.

The 1st-floor unit is entirely self-sufficient, with a separate entrance, another full kitchen, two more bedrooms, 2 baths, and a washer/dryer. This floor is wheelchair accessible through the ground-level french doors next to the parking area. It’s a great unit for people who can’t climb stairs, or want a separate unit away from the traffic in the main home. This floor has a “game room” with a professional-grade air hockey table and TV.

Bedrooms: there are enough beds to sleep 18 people in 7 separate rooms. The bed layout is as follows:

1st Floor: Bedroom #1 has a queen bed and a private bathroom. Bedroom #2 has a Double bed and a private bathroom. There is a den/game room on this level with a TV as well as an additional dining area, an additional full kitchen, and another washer/dryer. This floor has a private entrance from outside, so it can be used as a entirely independent apartment.

2nd Floor: Bedroom #3 is oceanfront, and has a king bed, a TV, and access to a shared bathroom. Bedroom #4 has a queen bed, a TV, and access to a shared bathroom. This floor has the kitchen, living room, TV, a DVD player, and deck access. You will also find the main dining area and the main completely-equipped kitchen.

Bathrooms: The main bathroom on the 2nd floor lies off the entry. A new LG washer and dryer are located here. The other bathroom on this floor is located between the bedrooms for convenient access (Jack & Jill style, with the bathrooms, entered through the bedrooms). The 3rd-floor bathroom is also located between the bedrooms. On the 1st floor, each bedroom has its own adjoining bathroom.

Main Floor Shower/Faucet Instructions: Gently, pull the lower of the two handles towards you to turn the shower on. Then turn the handle to the left or right to adjust the temperature.

The deck is exceptionally sizable at over 500 square feet and has an attached outdoor shower shed (groundwater temperature). There is also a covered 400 square foot porch with two huge picnic tables, which are great for inclement weather or for just getting out of the sun. The view is unmatched...Sea Haven faces due south on an east-west beach, so during certain times of the year, you can appreciate both a sunrise and a sunset from the same location (this is one of the few beach locations in the US where this occurs). From the steps of the deck, the waves at high tide are only about 15 yards away.

Linens and towels included with beds made (weekly stays only).

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Havelock vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Havelock area. To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Havelock area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking yourrental:

• First and foremost, have your group choose a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Sea Haven, Oceanfront House in Atlantic Beach, NC! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
