The ideal spot for your Atlantic Beach hideaway! This one-level, four-bedroom home is roughly 1/3 of a mile from beach access and 1/4 mile to the sound. A public fishing pier and boat launch on the sound is just one street over. You'll be three miles west of the circle at Atlantic Beach and three miles east of the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores and Theodore Roosevelt Natural Area. Fort Macon State Park is within a five-mile drive. You can also walk up the street to multiple bars, stores, and eateries, including a beach/tiki bar.

Outside, there is a sizable covered side porch with a fan, Blackstone grille, and propane fire table; a patio under the deck with a porch swing and rockers; and an elevated sundeck with sound vistas, where you can hear the ocean waves crashing and watch the sunset. There is also a putting green out front to brush up on your game between beach visits.

If you are visiting with kids or teens, this setup is ideal! The double bunk room is a fun and comfortable space. Living room plus adjacent sunroom with shuffleboard, puzzles, and games offering the option to all hang out together or have your own private space. (The fireplace is not operational.) Cozy beds, TVs in each bedroom, and bright-beachy decor make this the ideal calming vacation spot.

The eat-in kitchen is supplied with all the essentials, including an air fryer. The Blackstone grille on the covered side porch is a fun touch for those who like to prepare.

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal Havelock rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Atlantic Beach. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Havelock area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing and booking your prefectvacation home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Sweet, walkable beach cottage with elevated sundeck, patio & shuffleboard has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges applied to your contract.

Tips for a great stay:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
