About this property

Oceanfront on Highly Sought After Ocean Ridge

509 Ocean Ridge is the perfect place to spend your vacation time on the beautiful Crystal Coast at the Southern Outer Banks of North Carolina. The house is situated right on the beach overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It is 1/2 mile from the Atlantic Beach Circle and several dining establishments. Our cottage is well suited for a large family to enjoy time together with ample room for everyone. There are five bedrooms and three bathrooms. One bedroom includes an attached nursery with a crib and a toddler bed. There are two king beds, four queen beds, and one double bed. Sheets, towels, and paper products are available through a local linen service, or you can bring your own. A large dining room table sits right off to the side of the beautifully updated kitchen area and is adjacent to the spacious living room. There is a second refrigerator downstairs, a refrigerator for seafood/bait, and an outdoor grill available for use. Just a few steps off the deck and you will feel the sand between your toes! Catch the beautiful sunsets as the waves roll onto the shore while relaxing on the sun deck or in the enclosed sun porch. A third deck is on the front of the house where you and your family can have a relaxing outdoor meal or just relax. Our home is a short distance from the Coral Bay Club, numerous fine dining restaurants and coffee houses, Fort Macon State Park, the North Carolina Aquarium, and several museums in nearby Morehead City and Beaufort. Atlantic Beach Town Park is within walking distance and features mini golf, a skate park, and a splash pad. Oceanana Pier is a popular fishing site, as well as charter boats and surf fishing. Local shops in the nearby towns offer great shopping featuring local arts and crafts. While you are in the area you might also catch a local festival or fishing tournament! There is plenty to offer for the entire family.

Family Meet Up
Our stay was great and relaxing. There were 8 adults and 4 kids in our party and we were very comfortable. Lots of out door covered space to gather, eat and hang out. Walking access to the beach made life easy if you needed to get something from the house. We prepared all meals at the house, due to short stay, with no issue. Communication with the owner/manager was promoted and friendly, and much appreciated.

Wonderful week at the beach
The house was perfect for our family (6 adults and 3 teens). There was ample bedrooms and space for everyone to spread out. We especially loved being beach front and all the outdoor space. We ate dinner on the deck facing the street and then retired to the ocean front deck each night to enjoy the breeze and ocean sounds. We would absolutely rent this house again!

Even Better than Advertised!
Check in was easy. Property managers responded to questions quickly. House was so absolutely immaculate, gorgeous, spacious, and comfortable, it far exceeded our expectations, even though the VRBO posting made it look amazing enough!! Access to the beach was such a short and easy walk. Nice amenities everywhere on the property. It’s clear the house and property are well maintained. We will definitely be returning!

The property was very clean and everything onsite was as promised in the listing. The back porch is huge and while we were a family of four this house would comfortably fit multiple families.

Awesome property on the beach!
Five girlfriends take a beach trip every year and this will be a house we will come back to. The owners were so helpful, the house was roomy and you can tell they visit often because the house had everything we needed and more. The views were amazing and there were two GREAT porches with lots of seating. There was a mixup about the linens and we didn't bring ours. One of the owners came out after her day of work to let us into the personal linens so we didn't have to try and get them somewhere else. She stayed to visit for about 30 minutes and we told her that we could have fit her right into our group. :)

Perfect!
We could not have been more pleased with our recent stay! The cottage reminded us of bygone glorious summer vacations at Atlantic Beach. We could not have asked for a more perfect place to come together as a family to celebrate the life of my remarkable mother, whose memorial service was held in Morehead City over the weekend.

Wonderful Oceanfront Vacation Experience
The Ocean Ridge neighborhood is one of the nicest in the Atlantic Beach area. The beach house is spacious and very well maintained. We have enjoyed the area for over 50 years. 20 years of that time, family members owned a beachfront home. The remaining years we have rented. For us, some homes have the right feel to them and this property is definitely one of them. The hard pine flooring and paneling in some of the rooms, the large ocean front windows, a spacious eating area and kitchen, multiple seating areas for relaxing, the modern bathrooms, large bedrooms, beautiful sand dunes and much more. And any questions or needs we had were attended to quickly and professionally. This property facilitated a wonderful relaxing time for our family. We highly recommend it.

Family enjoyment!
My family and I enjoyed the home. They had plenty of kitchen utensils that most other places don’t offer. Although the propane tank was empty and I planned on grilling out. Great property and I will definitely recommend this property for big families. The three patios were amazing!

Holiday Weekekend family gathering
We had a wonderful time over the Labor Day weekend staying at this beach house. Beautiful neighborhood, plenty of parking, great location, warm water and lots of beach toys and chairs. We had a great time and there was plenty of room for everyone to hang out and not feel crowded. Large fridge and nice appliances, plenty of dished for big family dinners. We used the grill twice and it worked fine. A few notes to be aware of: While at the beach on days when there wasn't much wind, the sand fleas ate us up. Use bug spray if you plan to be on the beach each day just in case. This was the first time we rented a place that didn't include linens, so we were not prepared and needed to buy towels and sheets the day we arrived. Had we realized that was even a possibility we could of brought items with us. We would stay here again!

Awesome House
Our group of women thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room to spread out and we were impressed with the large size of most of the bedrooms. The kitchen was well-stocked. The multiple porches came in handy on the day it rained. One remark heard over and over was how sound-proof this house was compared to others we have stayed in on our annual trips. This was the only house we all agreed we would like to book again in the future.

What a great way to end our summer!
This home is exactly as it's shown online. We had a mini family reunion and the home accommodated us perfectly. The beds were comfortable and the home was clean. The ocean front viewing was an amazing way to begin our day. The beach was very clean and fun to walk. Kristen was a great help throughout the entire booking process and prompt to answer all my questions. Can't wait to come back again!
