**Before booking: Send message to confirm you've read our policies and agree to honor them. We'd also love you to share a bit about who's coming and maybe a bit about your adventure. Trust me, this extra step matters! It helps us focus on families/groups, allowing us to best prepare for your visit. brbrNew: Ask us to create personalized souvenir tickets (free w/booking)!brbrOUR JOURNEY: As a family, we often struggled to find space within our budget, central to adventures, where our family could build memories and sometimes bring extended family along. And so, when unexpected blessings allowed us to, we set out to create a home away from home that we could both enjoy with our loved ones and share with other families. We hope with all our hearts that you'll find Joyful Days and Restful Nights here. brbrTHE HOME: Turtle's Tuck has room for the whole family! [If over 4 adults - please message me.] Our breezy beachy-themed 1100' sg. ft. home had quite the facelift! The entire interior was repainted. We stripped black paint from the southern pecan floors, to regain their original beauty. You'll find fun furnishings, new textiles (curtains, bedclothes, couch, chairs), creative spaces, and even a little laptop desk (in case you just HAVE to take that meeting!). We've carefully considered each family-friendly amenity. brbrA white picket fence surrounds a front garden with flowers most of the year, while a fenced-in back yard and deck provide plenty of space for grilling, gathering, games, or giving the dozens of visiting birdies a little treat. (We'll even leave a bit of birdseed. ) With one grocery and pharmacy just blocks away, and many more stores nearby, shopping for supplies is a cinch.brbrUpdate: 2026: Year 4brWe are incredibly grateful that our little house has received such love. Please read the reviews we have received. These, along with many guest communications, show we're accomplishing our mission of supporting families in special ways. Still, we continue to tweak bits here and there, thanks to guest suggestions.brbrTHINGS TO DO:brBounce from beach to beach on Bogue Banks, a barrier island at the southernmost part of the Outer Banks. Distances: Atlantic Beach - 3 mi., Ft. Macon - 6.2 mi. (our favorite for families), Public Parking at Pine Knoll Shores - 9 mi., and Emerald Isle - 15 mi. brbrYou'll reach downtown Morehead's waterfront in 3 miles. There are parks, boat slips, mini-golf, an arcade, shopping, restaurants, historical sites, fishing, and water sports options nearby. Morehead City itself is on Bogue Sound. Between the local offerings and the Atlantic Ocean, there is much to see and do. We recommend reserving at least 1/2 a day for the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. With an easy 6-mile drive, Beaufort's quaint waterfront boats restaurants, docks, and twinkling twilight times. Visit the Rachel Carson Reserve, or try a Shackleford Wild Horse and Shelling Safari.brbrThe Turtle's Tuck Guidebook, in the living room, includes house policies, along with information and suggestions to help you get the most out of your stay. Kids can play in local parks, play mini-golf, or seek a new high score in the local arcade, brbrIf you care to explore a little more of the eastern seashore, Harker's Island is about 20 miles up the road, though it's part of an area called Down East. The Davis Shore Ferry will take you to the Cape Lookout National Seashore. Climb the light, visit the Keeper's Quarters, swim, or just enjoy the wildlife. For a great day trip of a different sort, 40 miles on Route 70W will lead you to the 300 year-old town of New Bern. Bordered by the Trent River, New Bern is home to Tryon Palace, a historic trolley tour, walking tours, and much more. The Cherry Point Marine Base is about 20 miles away. Regardless of your interests, be sure to check seasonal hours, restrictions, reservations, and costs in advance.brbrALLERGY NOTEbrOur family has a beagle mix rescued dog that visits the house. We also accommodate registered service dogs (not comfort companions). If you have allergies, this is important to know as we DO NOT recommend those with dog allergies stay at this home.

There's no smoking/vaping anywhere on the property. No motorized scooters or mini vehicles.

This house was built by my grandfather around 1940. It has been passed down through the generations and there is lots of family history between it's walls.

There also is a new playground with splash pad, tennis courts and pickleball courts available just blocks from the house. It is only a short walk down the alley to the Bogue Sound where you can sit and relax on the beach and watch the boats go by and the sun set. The Atlantic ocean is a short 2 1/2 mile drive across the bridge to Atlantic Beach. Just east of Morehead is beautiful Beaufort, a must see while you are in the area, which is the third oldest town in North Carolina.brbrThe house has two separate apartments. The downstairs is for our guests and the upstairs is my personal apartment. Everyone has their own private entrance.

Some houses you stay in. Son of A Sailor is one you play in. A spacious 3-bedroom Morehead City retreat with a game room that runs all night, a one-of-a-kind Soccer Pool in the backyard, and a fenced yard that keeps the kids and the dogs exactly where you want them. Base camp for fishing trips, family reunions, friend group getaways, and anyone who wants the Crystal Coast without the crowds. Impossible to be bored. Guaranteed.brbr✦ AT A GLANCEbr⚽ Soccer Pool — billiards meets soccer, one-of-a-kind backyard game nobody forgetsbrbr Game room — pool table, shuffleboard, 65` 4K TV, board games & morebrbr Fully fenced backyard — kids and dogs free to roam, parents free to relaxbrbr ️ Beds that guests write home about — king, queen, bunks, sleeps 10brbr Fisherman`s base camp — boat parking on-site, ramp access minutes awaybrbr ️ Rainy day proof — more games than you`ll have time for, rain changes nothingbrbr ️ Fully stocked kitchen — coffee, snacks, everything ready for your first morningbrbr 10 minutes to Atlantic Beach — Crystal Coast access without the oceanfront pricebrbrWelcome to Son of A Sailor — Where Nobody Gets Bored.brbrThere`s a specific kind of vacation that Son of A Sailor was built for. The kind where the kids disappear into the backyard with the Soccer Pool and don`t come back for two hours. Where the adults end up in the game room long after everyone was supposed to be asleep. Where the dogs sprint laps around the fenced yard and the parents finally exhale. Where a rainy afternoon doesn`t derail anything because there`s too much to do indoors to notice the weather.brbrThat`s the Son of A Sailor experience — and it`s why guests who stay here once keep coming back.brbrThis spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in the heart of Morehead City sleeps 10 across two well-designed floors, with a first floor built for family living and a second floor dedicated entirely to entertainment. Fifteen minutes from beautiful downtown Beaufort, ten minutes from Atlantic Beach, minutes from the Morehead City boat ramp — and with a backyard that guests consistently describe as the highlight of their stay. Come for the Crystal Coast. Stay for everything else.brbr⚽ Soccer Pool — The Game Nobody Has Ever Played and Everyone Wants TobrAt a glance: Outdoor · One-of-a-kind · All ages · Footpool format — soccer meets billiards*brbrImagine a billiards table scaled up for the outdoors, played entirely with your feet and a soccer ball. Same rules as pool — sink the balls into the pockets in the right order, last ball standing loses. Except instead of a cue, you`re kicking. And instead of quiet concentration, you`re collapsing into laughter by the third shot. That`s Soccer Pool — and there is no other vacation rental on the Crystal Coast offering it. Kids take to it immediately. Adults think they`ll be good at it and quickly discover they won`t be. Friend groups have bracket tournaments running within thirty minutes of arrival. It`s the rare backyard game that works for every age, every athletic ability, and every group dynamic — and it`s the feature guests keep mentioning by name long after they`ve gone home.Dustin put it simply: `the kids loved the new Soccer Pool.` That was their first week with it. The reviews have said the same thing ever since.brbr The Game Room — Where the Second Floor LivesbrAt a glance: Pool table · Shuffleboard · 65` 4K Roku TV · Board games · Upper deck access · Full bathroombrbrThe second floor of Son of A Sailor is its own world. A full-size pool table. A full-size shuffleboard table. A 65` 4K Roku TV. Board games and card games for every mood. An upper deck for fresh air when the room gets competitive. And a bathroom that two independent guests described — without being asked — as looking like it `came out of a magazine.` The upstairs shower specifically earned its own mention in multiple reviews. These are details that don`t make the highlight reel until you experience them and then you can`t stop talking about them. When the weather turns and the beach isn`t happening, the game room is why nobody minds. One guest said the games were `perfect when the weather was too crappy for the beach.` That`s the rainy day guarantee — and it`s fully funded on the second floor.brbr The Fenced Backyard — Everyone`s Favorite RoombrAt a glance: Fully fenced · Soccer Pool · Outdoor seating · Dog friendly · Kids can roam freely · Back porchbrbrThe fenced backyard at Son of A Sailor consistently earns its own paragraph in guest reviews — and that`s rare. Not because it`s a luxury outdoor space with a chef`s grill and a hot tub, but because it solves a problem families and dog owners carry into every vacation: where do the kids go, where do the dogs go, and can I actually relax while I`m watching them Answer: yes. The fence handles everything. The kids run. The dogs sprint laps. The Soccer Pool goes until someone gets competitive enough to demand a rematch. The adults sit on the back porch with a drink and actually decompress for the first time in months. Sarah said it was `very mind easing that the back yard was fenced in.` That`s not a feature review — that`s an anxiety relief review. And it`s the thing that converts a scrolling parent into a booking one.brbr Fisherman`s Base Camp — The Crystal Coast From the Best AnglebrAt a glance: On-site boat parking · Minutes to Morehead City boat ramp · 10 min to Atlantic Beach · Big Rock Tournament waters · NC Seafood Festival nearbybrbrSon of A Sailor is one of the few vacation rentals on the Crystal Coast that was built — intentionally or not — around the serious fisherman`s itinerary. Boat parking is available on-site. The Morehead City boat ramp is minutes away. The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in June puts this property right in the action. The NC Seafood Festival in October draws the same crowd. Atlantic Beach is ten minutes for when the rods go down and the family wants sand.Erik came exactly for this: boat slip one street over, fishing trip with his sons and brother, easy dinners downtown, easy drives to Atlantic Beach. His words: `this place was perfect.` Son of A Sailor doesn`t just accommodate fishing trips — it makes them effortless.brbr Sleeping Arrangements Built for Real GroupsbrAt a glance: King bed · Queen bed · Double bunk room · Queen sofa bed · Sleeps 10 · Room-darkening shadesbrbrBedroom 1: King bed, automatic room-darkening blinds, wall-mounted 4K TV, spacious layout — the primary retreatbrBedroom 2: Queen bed, mirror, TV — perfect for adults or older kidsbrBedroom 3: Two sets of bunk beds — the room kids claim immediatelybrLiving Room: Queen sofa bed for a comfortable tenth guestbrbrThe beds at Son of A Sailor have earned their own reviews. Independently, across multiple stays, guests keep coming back to the same thing — the pillows, the blankets, the comfort. `SO comfortable` was one guest`s assessment. `The most amazing pillows and blankets` was another`s. These are not stock linens from a wholesale supplier. You`ll notice the difference the first night and sleep better than you expected to.brbr A Kitchen That`s Ready Before You ArebrAt a glance: Fully stocked · Coffee, creamer & sugar provided · Snacks waiting · All cookware · Dining for the whole groupbrbrThe kitchen at Son of A Sailor is fully stocked and genuinely ready for real cooking — all the cookware, all the utensils, the spices and pantry basics already in place. Coffee, creamer, and sugar are provided for your first morning. And then there are the snacks — a small detail Haylee adds that guests mention repeatedly and always with the same warmth. It`s the kind of touch that communicates care before you`ve unpacked. The large dining area seats the whole group comfortably, making family meals an actual gathering rather than a logistical challenge.brbr Morehead City — The Crystal Coast`s Most Central AddressbrAt a glance: 10 min to Atlantic Beach · 15 min to Beaufort · 3 miles to Atlantic Beach bridge · Restaurants & bars walking distance · Food Lion nearbybrbrMorehead City is the Crystal Coast`s working waterfront town — restaurants, bars, marinas, and a genuine local character that the more tourist-facing beach towns don`t always have. From Son of A Sailor, Atlantic Beach is ten minutes. Downtown Beaufort — one of the most charming historic waterfronts on the East Coast — is fifteen. Emerald Isle is twenty-five. The NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is fifteen. Sand Dollar Island ferry, dolphin tours, kayak rentals, Sugarloaf Island trails — all within easy reach. Food Lion is close for anything you need.The property sits in a quiet, residential sound-front neighborhood — peaceful, safe, and central. The sound itself is a few streets over with docks for local boaters. The beach is a ten-minute drive. Everything else is closer than that.brbr The Crystal Coast Calendar — Son of A Sailor for Every SeasonbrAt a glance: Summer — Big Rock Tournament, dolphin tours, Sand Dollar Island · Fall — NC Seafood Festival · Winter — Christmas flotilla, game nights · Spring — kayaking, wild horse toursbrbrSpring & Summer: Book a dolphin or wild horse eco-tour with one of Morehead`s local outfitters. Ferry out to Sand Dollar Island for shell collecting and shallow wading. Kayak Bogue Sound or paddle out to Sugarloaf Island. June means the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament — the most prestigious billfish tournament on the East Coast — and the energy around Morehead City`s waterfront during that week is worth experiencing regardless of whether you fish.brFall: The NC Seafood Festival in early October turns Morehead City`s waterfront into the best food event on the coast. Quieter beaches, cooler evenings on the upper deck, and a downtown that feels more local and less tourist once the summer crowd thins.brWinter & Holidays: The Christmas flotilla lights up the harbor. New Year`s Eve fireworks downtown. Game room nights that go late. The fenced backyard works year-round. Son of A Sailor keeps the calendar full in every direction.
