DIRECT OCEANFRONT Duplex with large 3 level deck next to Oceanana Fishing Pier.

Beautiful DIRECT OCEAN FRONT duplex a few hundred yards from the only Fishing Pier on the west end of the island. Both Whithaven 1 & Whithaven 2 are owned by the Whitley family. The Oceanana Pier is just steps away from 'Whithavens' extra large deck. Each side has 3 BR's (king, queen and 2 twins) and 2 1/2 baths plus an extra large L shaped couch. The kids love sleeping on the couch too so everyone can enjoy themselves. (dog friendly too with additional pet fee).

During our covid period remodel, the whole unit was repainted, new ceilings and more upgrades plus increased parking up front from renovating our entry enclosure is sure to please. We use lock boxes for keys so no in person contact is standard for our units. We have an outside enclosed shower with HOT and cold water to rinse off after the beach or to use for your everyday shower (which I highly recommend and great for pets too).

As an added feature we recently installed a UVC germicidal light in the ductwork to kill any viruses or mold to help keep the air clean and provide help for allergy suffers.

We provide pretty much everything you need to walk into the unit and enjoy your stay. We provide linens, bath towels, paper goods when available (restock if you can and bring some just in case), fully stocked kitchen including many spices and almost everything you need other than food and your favorite beverages. We have a hammock, beach chairs, beach toys, outside grill and hotel grade deck and lounge chairs. We can't promise sunshine but the weather is usually better than at home. Bring your own beach towels and toiletries and you will be ready for a relaxing vacation.

Our neighbors own and manage the only privately owned Event Venue on the NC coast "The Cottage at The Crystal Coast" which is 5 houses up from ours. They host live events, concerts and weddings so check them out at www.thecottage.com. You might see a concert listed on their "live events" calendar and decide to walk to the concert with your friends or book a wedding event for the future and have guests stay at our units.

Also, our new cleaning service is focused on providing the best possible service for each and every stay with enhanced cleaning procedures per 2023 guidelines.

We have a fully stocked kitchen with various spices, zip lock bags, aluminum foil etc. are standard. Spare paper products (when available) are in the bottom drawer beside the refrigerator. Please replace what you use if you can for the next guests.

Let's face it, you come to the beach to enjoy the beach so you might as well be RIGHT ON THE OCEAN with a massive deck made for 'enjoying' all the beach atmosphere you can. While we make the inside as comfortable as we can with TV's, nice beds and full kitchen, it's really about being outside at the beach.

That's why we tore down our old deck and replaced it with a 3 level deck. Each side has their own 3rd level upstairs deck off of each master bedroom with a privacy wall in the middle. It's perfect for working on your tan in private or enjoying the sunsets. The main living area has an extra large deck with a bar top built around each side of the privacy wall. This gives you privacy when you want it but makes it easy to enjoy your family and friends outside whenever you want. We provide plenty of chairs and picnic tables so you can choose to eat outside or simply enjoy your favorite beverage (or 2 or 3) while watching the waves crash on the beach or watching the fishermen on the pier. The extra wide walkway (perfect for strolling hand in hand with someone special) takes you down the steps to the lower deck that is perfect for some extra privacy or can be used as a smoking section away from the main unit.

The ground level has picnic tables and a gas grill for each side. When you come in off of the beach if you feel like an outdoor shower each side has their own covered and enclosed shower underneath the deck with HOT and cold water. Rinse off your surfboard (one of the prime surfing spots on the whole Island), your pets or rinse off the sand from the supplied boogie boards and beach chairs.

The garage is perfect for storing your bikes or extra outdoor items like kayaks, paddle boards or parking a car. Dart board and corn hole give you something to do on those rainy days. Whithaven really is a special place. Please book your stay and become one of the Whithaven clan.

If Whithaven 2 is unavailable for your dates the other side of the property may be avalable or book both for your group. Whithaven 1 (666413) is the sister side of the duplex and also is on VRBO/HomeAway. If you can't find it send me an email and I will check the status as well. If you have any other questions please email, text or call Lee.
