Welcome to Whithaven, your ideal beachfront getaway! This direct oceanfront duplex offers unparalleled access to the sand and sea, with a humongous deck overlooking the dunes and the Oceanna Fishing Pier. When you vacation at the beach, you want to be at the beach, not just near it—and that’s exactly what you’ll get here.
Why You'll Appreciate It Here:
???? Prime Location – Step out your door and onto the wide, clean, dog-friendly beach. Whether you're looking to relax, fish, or catch the ideal wave, this is the ideal spot.
Unbeatable Sunsets – Atlantic Beach is famed for its elegant sunsets. Check out our photos, and you’ll see why!
Walkable to Eateries & Attractions – Stroll along the shore to The Circle for eateries and beverages, or head east toward Fort Macon State Park, where you’ll find spectacular walking trails and historic sites.
Pier Access Just Steps Away – The Oceanna Pier is just a few hundred yards away, offering great fishing, a lively restaurant, and an outdoor bar ideal for Happy Hour. Take a charming sunset walk on the pier, or just appreciate the ambiance.
Comfort & Convenience
Family-Owned for 27+ Years – We take great pride in maintaining and updating our home each year for your comfort. Recent renovations include new floor, modern appliances, refreshed deck furnishings, and fresh linens.
Outdoor Showers – Savor a private enclosed outdoor shower with hot & cold water—the ideal way to rinse off after a beach day!
Painless Self Check-In – A lockbox key system accepts for a smooth, contactless check-in.
Clean & Allergy-Friendly – We’ve added a UVC germicidal light in the ductwork to help purify the air, making our home cleaner and more comfortable for guests with allergies.
Entirely Stocked & Ready for You
Well-Equipped Kitchen – We provide everything you need to prepare, including spices, quality cookware, a coffee maker (drip & K-cup), blender, paper goods, toilet paper, foil, zip-top bags, parchment paper, and more. We simply ask that, if you have time, you restock for the next guest.
Outdoor Living Space – The giant deck is ideal for calming, dining, or simply taking in the ocean vistas. New stainless steel grille included!
Beach Gear Included – We supply beach chairs and toys—just bring your own beach towels.
Cavernous & Cozy Accommodations
3 Bedrooms | 2.5 Baths (Plus Outdoor Shower!) – Each side of the duplex is a mirror image of the other (except for color schemes and floor) and is updated annually. If you need more space, check out our sister unit (Vacation Rental By Owner #666411).
Uncrowded Beachfront – Our section of Atlantic Beach is primarily single-family homes, meaning fewer hordes and more space to relax on our big wide beach!
Explore the Area
Bicycle-Friendly Neighborhood – Rent a regular or electric bicycle to cruise the side streets or discover the island.
Local Dining & Nightlife – Walk to Amos Mosquito’s (a must-visit!), Island Grille, or grab a casual drink at The TackleBox the main local bar or savor Idle Hour’s outdoor seating with live music. You can walk to roughly 10 eateries within a 10 to 15 min. walk and 3 of them within 5 mins..
Day Trips – Take a short drive to Morehead City or historic Beaufort for waterfront dining, boutique shopping, and boat tours to Cape Lookout or Shackleford Banks to watch the wild horses.
Surf, Fish, Unwind & Repeat
Surfing & Fishing Heaven – The waters around the Oceanna Pier are known for some of the best surf breaks on the island. Prefer to fish? Try the pier or cast right from the beach—you might just catch dinner! Atlantic Beach has a fleet of fishing boats for day or half day units too.
Garage Storage: The enclosed garage can accommodate 1 mid-size car but also can be used to store your kayak, fishing gear, bicycles and whatever else you bring. You can also use the dart board on the occasional rainy day or at nighttime for your family tournaments.
Parking is available for 2-3 cars per unit. If you need additional parking, please contact the owner before booking.
Whithaven is more than just a vacation rental—it’s a special place where families and friends return year after year after year. Book your stay today and become part of the Whithaven tradition!
