Wonderful beach trip December 2024

The duplex is an excellent choice for relaxing at Atlantic Beach, NC. The space is very clean with comfortable furniture especially the king bed in the master bedroom. Great views of the ocean from the living room and master bedroom and a pet friendly environment. Our dogs enjoyed our week here too! The kitchen has everything you need for a great stay so well furnished if you want to cook.The owner is a terrific communicator. We had two questions during our stay and Lee answer quickly in a very helpful way. The location is perfect with plenty of restaurants nearby or a short drive away in Morehead City. A five star experience and we plan to return on 2025!

Well Received R&R

Whithaven 2 was well-stocked and had everything we needed to enjoy our time just steps from the beach. We found the rental description spot on and the owner was readily accessible. The property highlights included the view and the easy access to the beach. Two of the guests were elderly and not able to walk through the sand but thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the decks to soak up the sun and sounds while reminiscing! We highly recommend this property and look forward to staying here whenever we are in the area!

Great Location and Clean Accommodations

The house is ideally located as it overlooks the dunes, the beach, and the ocean. The generous deck lets you enjoy your morning coffee while relaxing to the sound of the waves. Deck is equipped with comfortable chairs, a grill, and a shower to rinse of at the end of your day on the beach. The kitchen has enough dishware to feed about 10 people. There are modern appliances in the kitchen. The house is clean upon arrival and has the means to keep it up while you are there.

Awesome location, walkable to many restaurants and the beach is your backyard. The pier (and pier restaurant) are 4 houses away down the beach.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our week here! The location is great!! Walk to restaurants, bike to Ft Macon, or just wander out the deck door to the ocean. The well-appointed kitchen and family friendly seating made mealtimes easy and a great space for connecting after our sunny days outside. The spacious deck was also a family favorite. The house was clean with great light and plenty of space. The managers/owners were super friendly and easy to connect with. Highly recommend this place for family vacations!!
