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.

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!

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!!!.

Paradise and Pets!
We had such a fabulous vacation at this sweet beach house. It had everything we needed and more! We were greeted with friendly, airy beach decor and so many tasty little snacks! Thank you so much for the Anniversary treat! This was a memorable 11th anniversary for us and we were so grateful to spend it with our two pups. They loved all of the toys and dog beds. What a gracious host! Hope to be back soon!

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!!

This location was all it was advertised to be. I aggressively with others that it was excellent. The host seemed to think of everything and then some. The home is beautifully decorated. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is fully stocked. Another time I would love to take advantage of all the extras in the garage. We really enjoyed the coffee extras that were provided and the snacks. Everything was very clean. The location was perfect for us. It is such a lovely area.

The location of this house was perfect for us! My husband and I came to do a little fishing and relaxing. This property is close to everything we wanted. This is one of the most well stocked and comfortable homes I have ever stayed. We arrived to a sweet welcome with so many goodies left by the host. Pamela was very responsive and made us feel right at home. We would love to return soon.

Pam, the owner, was easy to communicate with and prompt with a response about the ice maker. The home was beautifully decorated and extremely clean. Beds were very comfortable and had crisp linens. Bathrooms had great toiletries and plush towels. The kitchen was well stocked and she even left an amazing welcome package of snacks! I felt my two dogs were very welcomed; clean dog beds in every room, dog bowels and even dog toys!! The location is great; walk to the municipal park and pier. Quiet neighborhood and close to everything. The rental was amazing!

Oyster Shack Greatness!
I'm simply cannot say enough good things about the Oyster Shack. It was easy to find and check in. We found the place was clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was more than well stocked. The beds were comfy. Little things go a long way - welcome gifts, soft and fluffy towels just to name a few. Oh and the extras in the garage - a beach lover's dream. No need to rent anything extra. I can't wait to stay at Oyster Shack again.

I can't say enough good things about Pamela as a host! She truly goes the extra mile for her guests. The house is stocked with everything you could ever need and then some. Don't even get me started with the pet amenities...beds in every room, assortment of toys, treats, and even a pair of leashes and collars just in case you need them. Highly recommend checking out the Oyster Shack especially if you need a pet loving place to stay.

From the very start, Pamela was the very best host I’ve ever experienced. The rental was equipped with everything we could’ve ever needed and then some!
