Description Expand Collapse

Surf/Break is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath Pine Knoll Shores beach house offering walkable beach access and a quiet, family-friendly setting. This Crystal Coast vacation rental sleeps up to 6 guests, is just 528 feet from the beach, and includes access to ocean- and sound-side neighborhood parks. Conveniently located near Atlantic Beach, Morehead City, and historic Beaufort, Surf/Break provides a comfortable home base that guests find easy to settle into—and often enjoy returning to year after year.

Renovated in 2022 with new floors, furnishings, and curated surfing themed artwork, Surf/Break retains its classic beach-house charm with original wood paneling and vintage-style tiled bathrooms. The home’s flexible layout provides comfortable gathering space for family game nights and shared meals, along with a bonus area well suited for puzzles, reading, or a quiet break from the sun.

Outside, a spacious deck surrounded by native trees creates a peaceful setting for morning coffee or evening relaxation. A large outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse off after long beach days—one of the small but important comforts that makes settling in for the week feel effortless.

The beach is just 528 feet from the front door, an easy walk for morning swims or sunset strolls. Guests also enjoy gated beach parking with handicap access and outdoor showers located approximately 200 steps away, offering added convenience for days when you want to bring chairs, umbrellas, or beach gear.

Surf/Break includes access to multiple neighborhood parks on both the ocean and sound, featuring private boat ramps with parking, a kayak launch, pier, basketball courts, covered picnic areas, grills, playgrounds, and scenic sunset viewing. Parks include Hammer Park, Garner Park, McNeil Park, Brock Basin, and Ocean Park, giving guests a variety of ways to enjoy life on the water throughout the week.

For everyday convenience, a Food Lion grocery store is just a 5-minute drive, making mid-week restocking quick and easy. Atlantic Beach, known for its wide beaches and dining options, is only a few minutes away, while Morehead City—with waterfront dining, shopping, and charter fishing—is approximately 10–12 minutes from the home. Historic Beaufort, with its walkable downtown, maritime history, and harbor views, is about 15 minutes away, making it an easy and enjoyable afternoon or evening outing.

Surf/Break is also well suited for shoulder-season stays, when Pine Knoll Shores is quieter and the Crystal Coast’s natural beauty is on full display. Mild temperatures, uncrowded beaches, and easy access to trails, wildlife areas, and the nearby North Carolina Aquarium make spring and fall especially enjoyable times to visit.

At the end of the day, return to Surf/Break, unwind on the deck beneath the coastal canopy, listen to the breeze through the trees, and enjoy the calm, familiar rhythm of Pine Knoll Shores—whether it’s your first visit or the kind of place you look forward to returning to.

Surf/Break is ideal for families or couples seeking a comfortable, walkable beach home in a quiet coastal setting—perfectly suited for a well-balanced and memorable week on the Crystal Coast.

This is our 3rd year vacationing at Surf/Break and we love it! It feels like home away from home, so nostalgic, yet all the comforts one could want in a fantastic location. What a treasure you have! Thanks for renting out your awesome place!

This is my second year Staying at Surf/Break. I used to rent the house at 134 Willow Rd. for many years until it was sold. I was glad to find a place in the same neighborhood. It is such a nice place and I enjoy riding my bike around it. I also enjoy swimming and fishing at the beach and visiting Fort Macon. I hope to rent your house next summer as well. Thanks!

The home was clean and in a great location. We enjoyed the grill and found the kitchen well-stocked. The decor was adorable and comfortable. We had a great week.

We had a great week. We were worried that the weather may not cooperate but the week turned out great. A little bit of clouds probably saved us from sunburn. The beach access was great and very convenient. We cooked many nights and the well-stocked kitchen made that easy. The grill was perfect. We went to the Idle Hour Biergarten, it was good and quick. We also got seafood from the fish market. Great quality and service! Thanks from all of us!! The house was awesome!

Our Family had the most amazing stay at Surf/Break. We loved how close we were to the beach and how shaded the deck was. We enjoyed the small touches the home had to offer as well. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals with the family, which we enjoyed doing almost every evening together. The weather was great and good times were had. We cant wait to come back!

We have absolutely loved our stay at Surf/Break! It is a great house in an excellent location. We had perfect beach days/weather this week and they were idyllic. We had a great time checking out the Big Rock tournament in Morehead City and exploring historic Morehead City and Beaufort. We couldn't have asked for a better week! We will definitely be coming back to stay at Surf/Break and Pine Knoll Shores is awesome!

I loved my time at Surf/Break and would definitely vacation there again. My rental experience as far as Bluewater Vacation Rentals went smoothly as well.

A couple of rainy days did not ruin our stay in your lovely cottage. The puzzles games and DVDs kept us entertained. We had a few sunny days and really appreciated the close proximity to the beach and the private beach access. The retro vibe of your place is so much fun. Each day we discovered a cool new detail. The kitchen is well stocked, which as a cook, I enjoyed. One of my favorite things was the incredible outdoor shower. So nice! Thank you for sharing your special place with us! We can’t wait to come back!

We loved Surf/Break! The decor was so fun, and we discovered a new little surprise every day, pictures, little wall hooks, the door knockers?Loved it all! We particularly loved the access to the private beach so close to the house and think that gives Surf/Break an extra special bonus for guests. I really can't think of anything we needed but couldn't find while here! We loved the Saturday morning Farmer's Market in Beaufort.

Do I have enough room to tell you everything I loved about Surf/Break? There's a lot! Our group was two couples and two kids, and we fit perfectly since the house has a King room, Queen room and then a room with a bunk bed plus a twin. This house has everything you could want in a beach house - easy access to the water, a large outdoor shower, and a Food Lion 4 minutes away. The house is recently renovated and has a great surfing theme. There is a large deck, enclosed with gates, perfect for containing small kids and dogs.
Now for the area - there is a lot close by in addition to Atlantic Beach - an aquarium, parks with basketball courts and fishing access, mini-golf, Fort Macon, Cape Lookout National Seashore...plus the nearby Historic towns are charming too! Morehead City and Beaufort are both worth a visit and had lots of enticing shops and restaurants. Speaking of food - two tips - No Name Pizza and Amos Mosquito's were both really delicious. We look forward to our next visit to Surf/Break!

We really enjoyed our stay at this charming beach cottage! It was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. We especially enjoyed the outdoor shower and spacious deck. The house is on a quiet lot with plenty of privacy. The location is very convenient to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. The private beach access is just a short walk away and there is also a parking lot there if you wanted to drive over. We took the bridge over to Beaufort for shopping and a ferry ride to Shackleford Banks. We also enjoyed several nearby restaurants. We will definitely be back!

We've been visiting the North Carolina beaches over 45 years and have gotten to know a lot of the area and many beach houses. We had never been to Pine Knoll Shores before and decided to give it a shot over Spring Break. It was a great trip and a fun area with a lot to do, even if it was still a bit early in the season for swimming.
Before we arrived, we thought the house might be a bit tight for the six of us plus two dogs, but it fit all of us very comfortably, we never felt crowded. It has a great enclosed deck where we could leave our dogs outside without worrying. It's a short walk to the beach and sound, which both have great sitting, picnic areas. I would definitely rent Surf/Break again and look forward to a future visit.

This cottage is in a perfect location for rest, relaxation, and adventures at the beach. Our family enjoyed the proximity to the beach and sound. The private parking lot worked nicely for transporting the grandparents beachside. Our family loved the nostalgic feeling of this cottage. The open floor plan of the kitchen, dining, and living room worked very well in keeping our family entertained. The deck is large enough for the whole family to enjoy. Having the outdoor shower was very convenient after coming in from the beach or fishing from the dock on the sound.
We will definitely come back to Surf/Break!
