About this property

~Creek front heaven! Stunning View~ Private dock~

Waterfront!!! 4BDR 3 bath house on Dill Creek in Morehead City. Unbelievable views throughout the day. Large live oak trees give a down east vibe. Large private dock with covered patio for relaxing. Living room boasts an all glass view of saltwater wildlife. Its very common to see Egrets walking around to marsh. Enjoy fishing, crabbing, or kayaking in your front yard. Tide dependent boat access to fishing all over Morehead City. At night the dock glows blue to light the path to the patio. Less than a mile from the Morehead waterfront and three miles to Atlantic Beach. Property is close to Morehead baseball stadium and Rotary park. Great backyard for families. Covered parking. Quite neighborhood.

Perfect House on the Water

Our stay at this VRBO rental was fantastic! The house was beautifully decorated, incredibly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. With four spacious bedrooms, it easily accommodated our group, and the beds were wonderfully cozy—everyone slept so well! The fully equipped kitchen was a highlight, allowing us to prepare meals with ease. It was stocked with all the essentials, making cooking a breeze. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short distance from the inlets and the ocean, offering a perfect blend of serenity and convenience. We also loved being close to grocery stores for quick errands, and the nearby restaurants provided plenty of great dining options. The price was fair for the quality and amenities provided. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and will definitely consider returning for our next getaway! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing, well-located, and comfortable vacation home.

Quiet Creekside Adventure

This turned out to be one of our favorite beach house rentals that our family has stayed at. The creek and kayak provided endless fun for kids. There was plenty of room to spread out in the house and the street was very peaceful. Living room with plenty of large windows overlooking the creek made for a cozy setting. Location is great - short drive to the beach, Fort Macon, Beaufort, and the aquarium.

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND BOOK THIS PROPERTY!

Communication was so great, and super fast! Owners went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure our trip with a toddler on oxygen was perfect- from getting our oxygen delivery to the house days before our arrival, checking in on us, etc. Inside is beautiful, and perfect! SOOO SPACIOUS! Outside is perfect, and we loved the water in the backyard, even got out a canoe one evening! Location is great. I feel like we did everything around Morehead City/Emerald Isle/Crystal Coast- but we're definitely looking for a reason to come back to this property!!

Great family house!

We were in Morehead for our wedding and used this house for our family, for our rehearsal dinner and for the girls to get ready on Saturday! It was perfect! Great space and beautifully located on the creek. Perfect views and pictures, plus the kids had a great time running around in the back yard! The house was decorated lovely- simple and beachy and Mel is great as a host. Easy communication and very kind! Will definitely stay there again!

About the host

Host profile image
My wife and I have been coming to the Atlantic Beach area since we were both kids. I actually met my wife at the old Atlantic Beach circle. We had always wanted a house of our own in the area. After searching for years we found this house on Dill Creek in Morehead City. When we first looked at the house we immediately walked in the backyard and knew we wanted the place. The views are incredible all day and my kids love playing around the live oak trees. The long private dock is so convenient for kayaking and boating. We really hope you enjoy staying at the property as much as we do.
