About this property

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 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 dogs are welcome for an extra fee. There is a fenced in area for them at the cottage and there is also an off-leash City dog park close by.

5 year plan

My husband traveled south from Maryland to begin to figure out the next chapter of our life together. Our VRBO was our head quarters for a few days. We chose well. Our was inviting and well equipped. We felt at home the moment we walked in. Our dog was a fan as well!

Absolutely stunning

Attention to detail was amazing. Loved our brief stay. Wish we could've stayed longer. Will be back!! From the moment we walked in I was amazed. The home looked and smelled fresh and clean. Ms. Patty really thought of everything. Kitchen stocked wonderfully. Beds and furniture was so comfortable. Our pooch was completely pampered with the dog toys, and abundance of beds. Everyone we met was so nice.

Lovely View in a Quiet Neighborhood

We came up to Morehead City to enjoy the NC Seafood Festival and really enjoyed our stay here. The home has a great view, the home is clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. We had everything we could need and were close to the downtown and a nice coffee shop- The Mug Shot. We highly recommend staying here!!

Too Short A Stay

We had a wonderful overnight stay at “Oyster Shack By The Bay”, and only wish it could have been a longer stay! The house was amazing! Pamela is an exceptionally wonderful host, she is a diligent communicator and makes her guests feel right a home with her above and beyond attention to detail and anticipating her guests every need for a special getaway. We give this property the highest recommendations!!!.

Wonderful place

This was our 2nd stay at Pamela's place. It's a wonderful house and it's stocked with everything imaginable. Truly, from kitchen to bathroom to beach toys she has it covered! This is also the best dog friendly stay I've ever experienced She puts dog beds and toys out if you're bringing your pups. We will be back many times!

Long weekend with a teen and a dog

This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had with a VRBO rental. The house was exactly as described, well stocked and cared for. Way too many extras to list! The cornhole and darts were a much appreciated surprise. Pamela was quick to respond and we felt right at home. Great location and view and I loved that she provided so many amenities even for my dog! We will absolutely be back!
