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.

Pamela was great in communication. She left a welcome Basket with some bottled coca-cola and some chips which I greatly appreciated. It was so nice. The place was really clean. As well as dog friendly which I appreciated. Will definitely be in contact to stay in the future.

Pamela was so easy to chat with. We just got home from a great time at the oyster shack. The house has everything you need. We had a 3 day baseball tournament and the location to the field was perfect as well as the home run derby. Tower 7 was our favorite restaurant and all the kids loved sunset slushy. We cooked out on the grill 3 times and we even used the ball field down the street for some hitting practice. Thanks again Pamela for a great stay.

Communication was great. The house is fully stocked and the host has provided anything you could possibly need. The house was very clean and the location is convenient to most anything in the area. Will definitely return on future trips to the area.

This house is incredible! The host has stocked the house so well. Anything you need, she has already thought of it and placed it somewhere. The house felt like "home." She is a very responsive host and the home was very clean. We saw Dolphins from the balcony each morning. She even has binoculars to view them! Highly recommended this place. It is about a 10 minute drive from Atlantic Beach (which is beautiful more touristy and huge waves) and a 5 min drive from Radio Beach (inlet, no waves). Perfect location for some peace and quiet.

Property was great and was perfect for what we needed it for. Myself and a buddy were in town diving with Olympus Dive Center, and this accomodated our needs perfectly. The house was super clean, and super comfortable. There was a hose where we could rinse off our gear, and a garage where we could hang stuff to dry. Honestly I could not have asked for anything better. The neighborhood is in transition, but I have had zero issues the multiple times I have stayed on this side of the tracks. I hope this place is available again next time I am in town as I would definitly stay here again.

This was our first time using VRBO and staying somewhere that wasn’t a hotel, and I cannot say enough good things about this place! The owner has thought of EVERYTHING you could possibly need for your stay. All bathrooms were completely stocked, the kitchen has everything you need. This house is pet friendly (thank goodness) I was having a hard time finding a place that allowed dogs larger than 50 lbs, but Pamela’s house was so accommodating to my boy. There’s 4 dog beds throughout the house with dog toys on them. Along with dog treats, food and extra food and water bowls as well. We will absolutely be staying here every year from now on when we go back home to visit. If you’re on the fence about this place, just book it! You won’t regret it!
