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.

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.

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!

    We visited in winter (Dec. 25-28) and enjoyed the great location for beach walks, Fort Macon St. Park, restaurants, sightseeing. Clean, comfortable, well-kept, well-stocked rental with porch decks that offered wonderful oceanfront views. Easy access to beach. Prompt, welcoming responses from host. Thank you!

    GREAT beach house! Perfect for our 4-day stay in mid-September. I was thrilled to find this on VRBO because we could not stay for a whole week. When I go to the beach, I’m not interested in a pool. This duplex offers easy access to the sand. The location is terrific because the beach is not crowded (no big condos nearby) and you can walk to the restaurant on the pier. The Island Grille is also just yards away, but even post-season we could not get a table! We did walk to Amos Mosquitos and had a lovely meal there. This rental stands out because it supplies beach chairs and toys! We four adults could drive from Raleigh in one car because we did not have to bring that stuff! Also five-stars for the well stocked kitchen! We cooked dinners twice. The grill is in great shape and the kitchen offers everything you need, plus basic spices, oil, condiments, etc. Loved the view from the large deck w/ plenty of seating. Appreciated the retractable gate to keep our dog on the deck! The beds were super comfortable. Parking is really tight and probably impossible in peak season, but this place was perfect for us. We will be back!!

It is beautifully decorated, very clean and situated on a quiet dead end street. Everything you need is very close by. Highly recommended!

    The house is in a great location steps from the pier and beach. The house was clean and furnished with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Parking can be a bit tight if you have a large SUV and multiple cars, but we made it work. One thing I will mention is the shared deck space. If you’re a person who wants privacy while sitting on the deck, this is t the place for you. The deck is large but shared with the other side of this duplex. Luckily we had family staying in the other side, so it was what we were wanting, but just be aware that the main deck is not private. Thank you for a great visit to the area.

    Great stay right on the beach. Many places say that they are beachside but this is the real deal with the back porch directly on the beach. And while not empty, the beach wasn’t crowded at all. The house was great, with a good kitchen and comfortable bedrooms and living area. The outdoor shower was unexpectedly nice. Absolutely recommend!
