Oceanfront Beach House on Highly Sought After Ocean Ridge

509 Ocean Ridge is a cozy oceanfront home in Atlantic Beach. The house is situated right on the beach overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Our cottage is well-suited for a large family to enjoy time together, with ample room for everyone.
You will enjoy the vintage beach cottage vibe that begs you to relax and enjoy your surroundings.
The open living space includes a fully equipped kitchen, spacious and comfortable living room and large dining table.
Cook your “fresh catch” on the outdoor gas grill. A deck with picnic table is on the front of the house where you and your family can have a relaxing outdoor meal - or just relax.
On the large oceanfront deck, you can enjoy sitting (or swinging) in the shade, or lounging in the sun. Just a few steps off the deck and you will feel the sand between your toes!
The enclosed sun porch next to the open deck with a table and chairs can be used for dining, games, or writing your next novel.
We suggest that you plan your day so that you can catch the phenomenal sunrises and sunsets from one location due to the south-facing beach! Make sure you have your camera ready!
Our home is a short distance from the Coral Bay Shopping Center, as well as numerous fine dining restaurants and coffee houses. Local gift shops, art galleries, and surf shops are scattered throughout the area.
Fort Macon State Park, the North Carolina Aquarium, and several other museums are located in nearby Morehead City, Beaufort, and Harkers Island. Atlantic Beach Town Park is nearby and features mini golf, a skate park, and a splash pad for the young (and young-at heart) crowd.
For the fishermen, opportunities abound, including charter boats, surf fishing, and dive charters. Or explore nearby Shackleford Island or Cape Lookout National Seashore with one of the local ferry services.

We just finished at 4 night stay at this property. We had 7 adults and 4 children with plenty of room. We enjoyed being able to walk on and off of the beach which only had a few people on it because it’s only open to the few houses right there on the beach. We also enjoyed the outdoor showers for when you come off the beach. We utilized the front and back porches which all had plenty of tables and seating. We had a great stay and would love to visit again.

Wonderful week at the beach

The house was perfect for our family (6 adults and 3 teens). There was ample bedrooms and space for everyone to spread out. We especially loved being beach front and all the outdoor space. We ate dinner on the deck facing the street and then retired to the ocean front deck each night to enjoy the breeze and ocean sounds. We would absolutely rent this house again!

We had a wonderful stay at the house! The location is fantastic, and the layout is ideal—honestly, I could totally see pie family living here! One small suggestion I have would be to include a note in the listing about the need to bring your own linens (whether by renting them or bringing your own). It would help make the experience even more seamless for future guests. Thank you!!

Family Meet Up

Our stay was great and relaxing. There were 8 adults and 4 kids in our party and we were very comfortable. Lots of out door covered space to gather, eat and hang out. Walking access to the beach made life easy if you needed to get something from the house. We prepared all meals at the house, due to short stay, with no issue. Communication with the owner/manager was promoted and friendly, and much appreciated.

Remember your sheets

The place was in a good location. The house was nice, just a little dated (we had an interior designer staying in the house). We were surprised that the linens were not included. Our experience at other places the linens were included. Plenty of room, and even extra rooms we did not even use. Overall a good experience.

Check in was easy. Property managers responded to questions quickly. House was so absolutely immaculate, gorgeous, spacious, and comfortable, it far exceeded our expectations, even though the VRBO posting made it look amazing enough!! Access to the beach was such a short and easy walk. Nice amenities everywhere on the property. It’s clear the house and property are well maintained. We will definitely be returning!

Awesome property on the beach!

Five girlfriends take a beach trip every year and this will be a house we will come back to. The owners were so helpful, the house was roomy and you can tell they visit often because the house had everything we needed and more. The views were amazing and there were two GREAT porches with lots of seating. There was a mixup about the linens and we didn't bring ours. One of the owners came out after her day of work to let us into the personal linens so we didn't have to try and get them somewhere else. She stayed to visit for about 30 minutes and we told her that we could have fit her right into our group. :)

Wonderful Oceanfront Vacation Experience

The Ocean Ridge neighborhood is one of the nicest in the Atlantic Beach area. The beach house is spacious and very well maintained. We have enjoyed the area for over 50 years. 20 years of that time, family members owned a beachfront home. The remaining years we have rented. For us, some homes have the right feel to them and this property is definitely one of them. The hard pine flooring and paneling in some of the rooms, the large ocean front windows, a spacious eating area and kitchen, multiple seating areas for relaxing, the modern bathrooms, large bedrooms, beautiful sand dunes and much more. And any questions or needs we had were attended to quickly and professionally. This property facilitated a wonderful relaxing time for our family. We highly recommend it.

Holiday Weekekend family gathering

We had a wonderful time over the Labor Day weekend staying at this beach house. Beautiful neighborhood, plenty of parking, great location, warm water and lots of beach toys and chairs. We had a great time and there was plenty of room for everyone to hang out and not feel crowded. Large fridge and nice appliances, plenty of dished for big family dinners. We used the grill twice and it worked fine. A few notes to be aware of: While at the beach on days when there wasn't much wind, the sand fleas ate us up. Use bug spray if you plan to be on the beach each day just in case. This was the first time we rented a place that didn't include linens, so we were not prepared and needed to buy towels and sheets the day we arrived. Had we realized that was even a possibility we could of brought items with us. We would stay here again!
