Sandbar Cottage - Close to downtown Morehead City

This house was built by my grandfather around 1940. It has been passed down through the generations and there is lots of family history between it's walls. The Sandbar is located in a quaint, quiet neighborhood within walking/biking distance to downtown Morehead where beautiful boats are docked and great restaurants, bars and shops await you. There also is a new playground with splash pad, tennis courts and pickleball courts available just blocks from the house. It is only a short walk down the alley to the Bogue Sound where you can sit and relax on the beach and watch the boats go by and the sun set. The Atlantic ocean is a short 2 1/2 mile drive across the bridge to Atlantic Beach. Just east of Morehead is beautiful Beaufort, a must see while you are in the area, which is the third oldest town in North Carolina.

The house has two separate apartments. The downstairs is for our guests and the upstairs is my personal apartment. Everyone has their own private entrance. You will find the newly remodeled kitchen and dining room ideal for cooking and entertaining your family and friends. The space includes a bright sunroom and outdoor deck for grilling out and relaxing.

There is a washer and dryer in the bathroom off of the sunporch for your use. There is also an outside shower with hot and cold running water for your convenience to rinse off or shower as you come in from the beach.

Very nicely decorated, furnished, and maintained property in a pleasant, quiet neighborhood. A bit far for walking to downtown but downtown parking is plentiful. Five-minute drive to a grocery store and, incidentally, the best pizzeria I've found anywhere in NC, Loretta's Pizza.

Relaxation at the Sandbar
A wonderful property with easy access to downtown or any of several public beaches. Home-y touches throughout the property, several ceiling fans to dial-in ones comfort level, and very nice hardwood floors that do not squeak at all; quite impressive. The Sandbar is an easy choice when we return to Morehead City.

Peaceful stay
The cottage decor made our brief stay very calm and peaceful with the beach just a short walk away. Ludie is a gracious host and provided very comfortable furnishings. We were attending a wedding Labor Day weekend and appreciated the close proximity to the event yer located far from the holiday crowds. Perfect location!

Awesome place to stay
The house is amazing! It's quaint but has absolutely everything you will need. It is tranquil and the neighborhood is very friendly. There is beach access within a 5-minute walk. Everything you could possibly need or want to do is within a quick drive. We look forward to staying there again next year!
