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 and well-groomed pets are welcome for an extra fee per pet. 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.

The house was very clean and nicely decorated. Pamela, the host, was very accommodating. We didn't have a truck to move the kayaks to a launch site, and she offered to move them for us. I would definitely rent her home again.

Really adorable place. Love the open floor plan of the kitchen, dining room and living room. I liked the decor. The shower is real nice. Giant bath towels provided, & loved the double sink. (2 people can get ready at the same time.) The bedroom closets are SO spacious. The beds are comfy too. Well stocked house..... Great location! I enjoyed morning coffee on the deck looking out at the bay. The owner went above and beyond with added touches of supplies, etc. The owner is really great I would recommend it to anyone (except senior citizens with staircase issues!) Long staircase to get up to the main level and then another half staircase to a landing, then a long staircase to get up to the bedrooms (while dragging luggage..... We were laughing at how ridiculous we must have looked!) Top notch place!

This property has it all. It has smart tvs, games and equipment in the garage, and a washer and dryer. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom and kitchen were full of anything you could need for your stay. The view of the water was amazing and the home is located only blocks from local shopping and dining. My only improvement would be to specify to guests where to park. I was a bit confused but there is parking behind the garage by the trash cans. I wasn't sure but the neighbors were kind and let me know where to park when I arrived. The host welcomed us with a nice message and snacks left on the kitchen counter. It is a great place for families to stay just be aware there are steps up to the front door and it has two stories so there are stairs inside as well. I would definitely stay again.

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.

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.

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.
