About this property

Oyster Shack by the Bay / 4 minutes to Morehead City Waterfront/Big Rock Landing

This immaculate 2 bedroom, 1 & ½ bath cottage, including an enclosed double car garage, is located within minutes of downtown Morehead City’s waterfront and all the fun activities and restaurants it has to offer. The cottage can house 4 people comfortably, and I just recently replaced the couch with a sleeper sofa that can accommodate 2 additional guests. It is in a transitional neighborhood and within walking distance of the Calico Creek Boardwalk/Bird Sanctuary and Morehead City Waterfront where the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament and NC Seafood Festival are held each year. Many other water accesses are close by, including the Intracoastal Waterway and sandy beaches overlooking it. Historic Beaufort is 9 minutes away by car.

The cottage is equipped with a full kitchen, high speed internet, and 3 smart TVs. There is also a gas grill and all kinds of equipment to enjoy the beach or try your hand at catching fish or crabs. Bring your boat as there is parking space for 3 cars and a boat with trailer.
Well behaved pets are welcome for an extra fee. If you would like to let them outside for a while unleashed, the enclosed garage has a doggie door that leads into a small fenced-in area outside. There is also an off-leash dog park at the Rotary Park Dog Park a few miles away from the cottage.

What a hospitable host! The lights were left on for our after dark arrival. There were a variety of snacks and beverages available for nourishments as well as a collection of toiletries should we have forgotten anything. So incredibly thoughtful and oh BTW - the house was also super cute and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will likely be back again.

We absolutely loved this place. My husband and I got away for the weekend for our anniversary. This place has everything you could think of. The kichen was fully stocked which was my favorite part because we both love cooking. It was the most homey feeling away from home. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom was perfect too. I cant express how much we loved this place. We will definitely be returning.

Pamela was an amazing host! She truly has thought of everything! From a well stocked kitchen and snacks already waiting for us, toys for the kids and pups, anything you would need for a beach outing, and more! We could have packed only our clothes and I think we would have still been covered! There was a mixup on arrival and we couldnt find the keys but she quickly remedied that! Our pup escaped his kennel and caused some mischief but she was soooo understanding! The neighbors were so kind as well, offering our little one some candy on halloween. We will absolutely be staying with her again soon!

This is an excellent property for your stay in Morehead City. The owner has everything you could possibly need or want stocked at the property. The pictures in the owner's listing are accurate. Everything shown is really there, plus more. The kitchen is fully stocked as is the garage. From towels to trash bags the owner assures you have more supplies than you could need. Having the washer and dryer is a plus for any beach trip. Property is well maintained and beautifully decorated. Communication with the owner was clear and quick. The location is short drive to the Big Rock Landing or the Atlantic Beach Causeway. Overall great week at the property.

This is our third stay here. We LOVE it. The home has everything you could need or want. The kitchen has extra appliances, spices, etc. The host also provides extras like a case of water, snacks, lots of extra bathroom amenities if you've forgotten anything, etc . We bring our dogs and are always delighted to find dog beds and toys ready for us. The garage is full of beach toys if you need anything. We also enjoy fishing at the public dock- a 2 minute walk away. We are always the only people there which is nice.
