DIRECT OCEANFRONT Duplex with large decks next to Oceanana Fishing Pier.

Oceanfront Duplex with Stunning Views | Steps from the Sand & Oceanna Pier
Welcome to Whithaven, your perfect beachfront retreat! This direct oceanfront duplex offers unparalleled access to the sand and sea, with a huge deck overlooking the dunes and the Oceanna Fishing Pier. When you vacation at the beach, you want to be at the beach, not just near it—and that’s exactly what you’ll get here.

Why You'll Love It Here:
🏖 Prime Location – Step out your door and onto the wide, clean, dog-friendly beach. Whether you're looking to relax, fish, or catch the perfect wave, this is the ideal spot.

Unbeatable Sunsets – Atlantic Beach is famous for its breathtaking sunsets. Check out our photos, and you’ll see why!

Walkable to Restaurants & Attractions – Stroll along the shore to The Circle for restaurants and beverages, or head east toward Fort Macon State Park, where you’ll find scenic walking trails and historic sites.

Pier Access Just Steps Away – The Oceanna Pier is just a few hundred yards away, offering great fishing, a lively restaurant, and an outdoor bar perfect for Happy Hour. Take a romantic sunset walk on the pier, or just enjoy the atmosphere.

Comfort & Convenience
Family-Owned for 27+ Years – We take great pride in maintaining and updating our home each year for your comfort. Recent renovations include new flooring, modern appliances, updated deck furniture, and fresh bedding.

Outdoor Showers – Enjoy a private enclosed outdoor shower with hot & cold water—the perfect way to rinse off after a beach day!

Easy Self Check-In – A lockbox key system allows for a smooth, contactless check-in.

Clean & Allergy-Friendly – We’ve added a UVC germicidal light in the ductwork to help purify the air, making our home cleaner and more comfortable for guests with allergies.

Fully Stocked & Ready for You
Well-Equipped Kitchen – We provide everything you need to cook, including spices, quality cookware, a coffee maker (drip & K-cup), blender, paper goods, toilet paper, foil, zip-top bags, parchment paper, and more. We simply ask that, if you have time, you restock for the next guest.

Outdoor Living Space – The huge deck is perfect for lounging, dining, or simply taking in the ocean views. New stainless steel grill included!

Beach Gear Provided – We supply beach chairs and toys—just bring your own beach towels.

Spacious & Comfortable Accommodations
3 Bedrooms | 2.5 Baths (Plus Outdoor Shower!) – Each side of the duplex is a mirror image of the other (except for color schemes and flooring) and is updated annually. If you need more space, check out our sister unit (VRBO #666411).

Uncrowded Beachfront – Our section of Atlantic Beach is primarily single-family homes, meaning fewer crowds and more space to relax on our big wide beach!

Explore the Area
Bike-Friendly Neighborhood – Rent a regular or electric bike to cruise the side streets or explore the island.

Local Dining & Nightlife – Walk to Amos Mosquito’s (a must-visit!), Island Grille, or grab a casual drink at The TackleBox the main local bar or enjoy Idle Hour’s outdoor seating with live music. You can walk to roughly 10 restaurants within a 10 to 15 minute walk and 3 of them within 5 minutes.

Day Trips – Take a short drive to Morehead City or historic Beaufort for waterfront dining, boutique shopping, and boat tours to Cape Lookout or Shackleford Banks to watch the wild horses.

Surf, Fish, Relax & Repeat
Surfing & Fishing Paradise – The waters around the Oceanna Pier are known for some of the best surf breaks on the island. Prefer to fish? Try the pier or cast right from the beach—you might just catch dinner! Atlantic Beach has a fleet of fishing boats for day or half day rentals too.

Garage Storage: The enclosed garage can accommodate 1 mid-size vehicle but also can be used to store your kayak, fishing gear, bikes and whatever else you bring. You can also use the dart board on the occasional rainy day or at night for your family tournaments.

Parking is available for 2-3 cars per unit. If you need additional parking, please contact the owner before booking.

Whithaven is more than just a vacation rental—it’s a special place where families and friends return year after year after year. Book your stay today and become part of the Whithaven tradition!
