We loved the house. The furnishings were so nice, and the views from the decks were incredible. All the amenities were great plus sleep number beds which were very comfortable! Short walk on a private path from the house, over a small sand dune, to the beach. I hope we can visit again. We loved it! Thank you!

Perfect location and has everything!

I stayed here with my 2 college aged 'kids'. The kitchen is fully stocked, we used the grill one night and walked to dinner the other 2 nights :) The view from the bedroom was a perfect treat! We loved using the outdoor shower every day and the hose to get all the sand off. We had enough room to play games at night, hang out on the deck during the day and space to be apart. Really, it's a great VRBO! (Oh, and the 2 bigger beds are super comfortable!) The only things you need to bring are beach towels (lots of chairs and toys in the garage), beach shade thing (didn't see one, but it might have been there), beach towels, and shoes for the beach (sand gets hot in the afternoons!).

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.
