Blount Cottage on Ocean Ridge in Atlantic Beach, NC. Bed Configurations: 2K, 4D, 3T.
Atlantic Beach has a distinct appeal with a modest-town pace and simple-going spirit to match. With painless access to flawless and peaceful beaches and sweet southern appeal, you will appreciate this town's vibe and throwback feel. Ocean Ridge can be found located on the shores of Atlantic Beach like a prize-worthy Easter Egg waiting to be discovered. This spot has maintained an element of exclusivity — year after year, generation after generation, the same folks return to “the beach” on their holidays.

The community maintains its elite status with classic homes like this one located at Blount Cottage. Located beachfront, the home reflects a coastal style from the start with an exterior that is all windows and decks and driftwood-grey colored shakes. The interior is an absolute delight, with wood paneling transporting you to another time. The wood tones bring warmth, depth, coziness and character, which is a amazing welcome. The stark contrast of the modern, white kitchen is fresh and inviting, as is the countertop bar with seating for four.
When staying at Blount Cottage, you will have all the benefits of “the beach” right outside your door. Two cavernous decks, one upstairs and one down, with vistas of the sand and the skyline — this is the ideal place for sipping coffee or drinks and watching the sunrise and fall over the sea. Plan a cookout with a grille at the ready, or head out for any number of dining (and shopping, boating and cafe) options close by.
At this home, there are two bedrooms with king beds and two additional bedrooms, too! One of those features two twin beds and a double, and the other, one twin and one double bed. This means there is plenty of space to all pile in— your close friends, your family —whoever your heart desires! Invite them to join you on your holiday and revel in the simple joys of the Crystal Coast lifestyle.

Our top Atlantic Beach vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at New Bern restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area travel guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.
