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.

Home away from home

Our family stayed for one week to attend our daughter's wedding at the Crystal Coast Civic Center. The house was very clean and had everything we needed such as bathroom supplies, soap, shampoo, q-tips and lotion. The location was close to all of our activities and site seeing during the week including the North Carolina Aquarium Pine Knoll Shores, Fort Macon, Beach, Beaufort, Lookout Cruises, Offshore Outlaw charter boat fishing, shopping, restaurants and Olympus Dive Center (owned by our daughter's new in-laws). The bottle of champagne and snacks made us feel welcome. Thankful to have beach chairs which came in handy since we went to the beach twice. Pam was a great host and communicated well throughout the process. Even the neighbors were friendly and offered to move the garbage can to the curb the night before pick up. When we visit from Michigan, we hope we can stay at the Oyster Shack again. Thank you.

Excellent Beach Escape

The house was immaculate! The 15 yo boys loved the garage and all the fun things it had to offer. It was a great relaxing weekend. Owners really thought of everything you may need. The welcome bottle of wine was a great personal touch! Bathrooms included essentials like toothbrushes, q-tips and all the little things travelers typically forget!

Attention to detail was amazing. Loved our brief stay. Wish we could've stayed longer. Will be back!! From the moment we walked in I was amazed. The home looked and smelled fresh and clean. Ms. Patty really thought of everything. Kitchen stocked wonderfully. Beds and furniture was so comfortable. Our pooch was completely pampered with the dog toys, and abundance of beds. Everyone we met was so nice.
