Oyster Shack by the Bay / 4 minutes to Morehead City Waterfront/Big Rock Landing

10/10 Excellent
"Pamela truly has thought of everything! Our 2nd time staying and I love that we could have brought only our clothes and been set for a fun beach vaca! The kids loved playing in the basement and the adults loved how close it was to everything we wanted to do. Already looking forward to our next stay! (P.s. thank you for the local Halloween activity suggestions!)"
