Beautiful 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths on sound and walking distance to beach and shops


Just read the reviews for this beautiful five bedroom, five and one-half baths with expansive sound views. Our goal is to make this vacation one to remember and the reviews reflect it!
The 4th floor has a bonus room as well as king bedroom and bath. The views are incredible! The 3rd floor has 3 bedrooms (king, queen, twin) and 3 baths and some have views of the sound. The 2nd floor has a living room, dining room and kitchen with counter seating. There is a porch and deck off this space for bird watching and looking at spectacular sunsets! The king bedroom offers sounds views and a large bath. There is a half bath on this floor. The first floor has a two car garage with a Nema 14-50 for charging electric vehicles. There is also an elevator.
There are many reasons you may be content to stay inside but you also have great options to get outside and enjoy everything Cottages at Bay Ridge in Atlantic Beach has to offer. The boardwalk (approximately one-third mile and right next to our home) which leads to a covered gazebo on our private island on the sound. Fishing, crabbing, paddle boarding, or picnicking are all possibilities while enjoying the outdoor beauty. You are in walking distance to shopping, pool, restaurants, bars and grocery store. We are accommodating and try to respond quickly if you have any questions.

We loved our stay at this property! The owner was very good at providing local recommendations and had a printed document at the house as well. She contacted us after we got settled in the make sure everything was good which was a nice touch! The views from the back porch were incredible at sunset! We look forward to staying at her home again.

Beautiful home with a beautiful view

This spacious home was the perfect choice for our group of 5 longtime friends. Nicely decorated home, and the elevator was an added bonus. The view of the sound and the sunsets in the evening were wonderful. The property owner was great to work with and very accommodating.

Family Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at this vacation rental. The place comes stocked with everything you need. We had a party of 7, and everyone had plenty of room to spread out. The screened in porch got lots of use as well as the beautiful community pool. The elevator was an added bonus. Kaye was nice enough to leave a sheet with recommendations of things to do as well as local restaurants. We would definitely recommend this rental.

Super place for a reunion!

This was a wonderful property. Large enough that we all had some space. Enjoyed the screen porch and its wonderful view.. Kitchen was a great space for 8 people hanging out and chatting as meals were prepared. Would have liked 2 more chairs suitable for the dining table, as the house was advertised that it could hold 10, and we were eight. But we made due. Really appreciated that the property could handle 4 cars, and a tear-drop trailer. It just fit in the garage, out of the way for the 5 days. Atlantic Beach was a perfect spot for easily getting around.

Perfect location

This house was the perfect size and location for my family with 3 small kids and 3 couples. We each had our own floors and the elevator was super convenient for loading and unloading. The boardwalk was great and the views from the rooms and porch/screened in porch were amazing. Also, the pool was perfect for my kids. The owner texted and called me freely and was super helpful with anything I needed. Only things to note if you are staying 3+ days: there are only a few towels for each room so maybe bring extra. There are only a few dishwasher detergent packets and only 2 TP rolls for each bathroom and only 2 paper towel rolls. After supplementing those things the overall stay was pretty spot on perfect. Thanks!

Gorgeous getaway between the beach and sound.

Absolutely loved our stay for the weekend. Granted we had a storm blow through but it didn't dampened our spirits one bit. We pulled out some of the gameboards and played in the living room, put a puzzle together and played cards at the dining table. The views were amazing and even watching the rain, listening to the sounds around the house was relaxing. The walkway to the sound being right next to the house was very convenient and worth a nice stroll first thing with some coffee. Plenty of bedrooms with on-suites and a bonus room for the kids to play their games without bothering the adults. Elevator was really cool to use and helpful bringing luggage up to each floor. Visited the pool one day with the kids are they had a good time exploring community center. Kitchen had plenty of counter space to prep and make full meals with everyone seated at the table and bar stools. Like previous reviews we stocked up on paper products, trash bags since we go through a decent amount over a weekend with a lot of people there and left rest behind for the next visitors. We've already talked about visiting again next year we loved it so much. Thank you to the owners for allowing us to enjoy our time in your home.

Mom’s birthday getaway

We had such a fantastic time at this house. The view was gorgeous, the house was well appointed, everything we could possibly need. Loved the kitchen, the flow of the home, and everything about it actually. Sitting on the back screened in porch was one of our favorite morning and evening activities. Thank you, Kaye for such kind and prompt communication with us. We definitely look forward to coming back!

This was the perfect location for my familt yo stay for our daughter's wedding weekend. Perfectly situated for all activities from rehearsal dinner in Morehead City to the wedding and reception at the aquarium. It was perfect. The house is AMAZING!!! The pictures don't do it enough justice, because it's so much larger in person!! From the amenities to the beautiful decor throughout this house is really spectacular!!

Fabulous home

Our family spent the Christmas week in this beautiful home. It had everything we could need and more. Very spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. While the cold weather prevented us from truly enjoying the lovely porch, we hope to return when we can bask in the beauty of the sound side views as we drink our morning coffee. Definitely a great vacation home!

Over all great place

Kitchen was good, I was able to cook a complete thanksgiving dinner (I did bring a roaster). I missed a few things but I would certainly call the kitchen well equipped. We had a lot of trouble regulating the temperature in the house but that was the only problem we had. There was plenty of common space and bedrooms. The elevator was great, there are a lot of steep stairs. The sound is beautiful and there is a lot to do in Atlantic Beach.

Wonderful home in an ideal location

Our group included a number of elderly folks (5 of our 8 were 65 and above). The elevator was wonderful for getting our luggage and groceries up from the garage AND it was appreciated for the ones over 80 that had trouble taking the stairs. HUGE amenity to have in the house! We LOVED the location and how convenient it was for shopping AND walking to the water on sound side. And it close to get across to ocean side of the island as well. Great communication and tips from the host before our stay, as well as being available when a couple things came up during our stay. We will stay here again if we have opportunity!

Beautiful Sound Views and Access to Shopping

Our family met at this GORGEOUS home for our Summer vacation from VA and NC. The whole well-appointed kitchen area, dining and open great room provided a great space for a large family. We also had a lot of fun on the screened in porch and walking the 1/3 mile to the sound side pavilion. The best feature was the elevator to get all the gear up to the kitchen and rooms, but it was especially helpful for my Dad who has trouble getting around. Our only issue was that we did not find a short cut to get to the beach. I'd suggest driving to the public beaches for sun and fun. Enjoy!
