Sandbar Cottage - Close to downtown Morehead City
About this house rental
This house was built by my grandfather around 1940. It has been passed down through the generations and there is lots of family history between it's walls. The Sandbar is located in a quaint, quiet neighborhood within walking/biking distance to downtown Morehead where beautiful boats are docked and great restaurants, bars and shops await you. There also is a new playground with splash pad, tennis courts and pickleball courts available just blocks from the house. It is only a short walk down the alley to the Bogue Sound where you can sit and relax on the beach and watch the boats go by and the sun set. The Atlantic ocean is a short 2 1/2 mile drive across the bridge to Atlantic Beach. Just east of Morehead is beautiful Beaufort, a must see while you are in the area, which is the third oldest town in North Carolina. The house has two separate apartments. The downstairs is for our guests and the upstairs is my personal apartment. Everyone has their own private entrance. You will find the newly remodeled kitchen and dining room ideal for cooking and entertaining your family and friends. The space includes a bright sunroom and outdoor deck for grilling out and relaxing. There is a washer and dryer in the bathroom off of the sunporch for your use. There is also an outside shower with hot and cold running water for your convenience to rinse off or shower as you come in from the beach.

The cottage decor made our brief stay very calm and peaceful with the beach just a short walk away. Ludie is a gracious host and provided very comfortable furnishings. We were attending a wedding
Labor Day weekend and appreciated the close proximity to the event yer located far from the holiday crowds. Perfect location!

From the moment we walked in a saw the bottle of wine, fresh cake, Mylar balloons, and customized message board, we knew this was a special place owned by special people. The perfect location and a house that easily could have been the local beach museum, this wonderful home was truly a blessing to behold. Ludie made us feel as though we were part of her family and in today’s world, that is a wonderful thing.

We had an amazing time - thank you so, so much Ludie! The home is wonderful, has great accommodations and the sweet additional touches were much appreciated. If you don't mind a walk, it's about 15 minutes to the downtown restaurants but a quick drive to anything in the area. Beds were comfortable, lounge area in the living room was perfect for our small group, and had everything we needed in the kitchen. Would stay here again any time!

This cute cottage is close to everything. There are a lot of great restaurants in the area.
The cottage is just a short walk to a small beach on the inter coastal waterway. It is a nice quiet place to sit and enjoy the water and watch the area boaters.

There is beach access within a 5-minute walk. Everything you could possibly need or want to do is within a quick drive. We look forward to staying there again next year!

We had an incredible time at The Sandbar cottage. By far the neatest, cleanest rental we've ever stayed at complete with all of the amenities listed, and some. The home has been beautifully renovated while still maintaining the charm and originality of the 1930's house that it is. The beds are comfortable, with plenty of extra pillows/linens if needed. This quiet, quaint spot on the map feels like home, with the all-important added bonus of being within walking distance of your own beach on the Bogue Sound. We definitely recommend, and will return ASAP! Thank you, Ludie, for being the best host!

Location, location, location
This 1930s home is charming and comfortable, with a modern, well-equipped kitchen. Evans St is one block off the main drag, so the noise of traffic is buffered but getting to places is easy. Three blocks west is the causeway to Atlantic Beach and 10 blocks east is Morehead City’s waterfront district. If you’re a walker/runner, you’ll love passing the nearby homes in the Promise’ Land.
