Sea Haven is a cavernous, seven-bedroom, five-bathroom, two-kitchen oceanfront beach home that is located in striking Atlantic Beach. The home lies in a peaceful, calming neighborhood, yet still sits within walking distance of the Atlantic Beach Boardwalk and a fishing pier with a wide variety of activities and eateries available. The beach in front of the home is relatively peaceful and secluded, and you will often find yourself alone with your thoughts in the early morning. This broad beach escape is 3 stories high and an AMAZING value for such a big place!

The main home is on the 2nd and 3rd floors. It is entered through stairs on the parking side, or via the deck stairs on the ocean side. The 2nd floor has a entryway, full kitchen, dining area, living room, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a washer/dryer.

The 1st-floor unit is entirely self-sufficient, with a separate entrance, another full kitchen, two more bedrooms, 2 baths, and a washer/dryer. This floor is wheelchair accessible through the ground-level french doors next to the parking area. It’s a great unit for people who can’t climb stairs, or want a separate unit away from the traffic in the main home. This floor has a “game room” with a professional-grade air hockey table and TV.

The other bathroom on this floor is located between the bedrooms for convenient access (Jack & Jill style, with the bathrooms, entered through the bedrooms). The 3rd-floor bathroom is also located between the bedrooms. On the 1st floor, each bedroom has its own adjoining bathroom.

The deck is exceptionally enormous at over 500 square feet and has an attached outdoor shower shed (groundwater temperature). There is also a covered 400 square foot porch with two huge picnic tables, which are great for inclement weather or for just getting out of the sun. The view is unmatched...Sea Haven faces due south on an east-west beach, so during certain times of the year, you can savor both a sunrise and a sunset from the same location (this is one of the few beach locations in the US where this occurs). From the steps of the deck, the waves at high tide are only about 15 yards away.

Our top Havelock vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Havelock visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Finding the best rental home in Atlantic Beach:

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Sea Haven, Oceanfront House in Atlantic Beach, NC! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your family.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the rental manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to inspire future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
