Sandbar Cottage - Close to downtown Morehead City

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.

Morehead wedding weekend
My (now) husband and I, along with another couple stayed for the weekend while we tied the knot in Beaufort. Really wonderful experience! This rental is full of charm and inviting places to sit and relax. It is quiet and comfortable with all of the cool quirks you find in a property this age. There is a great, eclectic mix of modern upgrades/finishes and vintage coastal town home. The property manager(s) are lovely and attentive. We highly recommend this rental and look forward to staying here again!

Relaxation at the Sandbar
A wonderful property with easy access to downtown or any of several public beaches. Home-y touches throughout the property, several ceiling fans to dial-in ones comfort level, and very nice hardwood floors that do not squeak at all; quite impressive. The Sandbar is an easy choice when we return to Morehead City.

Peaceful stay
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!

A Most Awesome House
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.
