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!
