Experience classic coastal living in this two-story oceanfront cottage in Atlantic Beach, NC, ideally located just blocks from the Oceanana Fishing Pier and Fort Macon State Park.

Nestled among the dunes, this home offers direct private beach access, beautiful ocean views, and the soothing sound of waves just steps from your door. It’s the perfect setting for families seeking a relaxed, beachfront getaway with both privacy and convenience.

The main living level, located on the upper floor, is bright, open, and professionally decorated to feel both comfortable and inviting. The updated kitchen flows seamlessly into a dining area and welcoming living room with a decorative fireplace, creating an easy space for gathering. Just outside, a covered oceanfront porch provides the ideal spot for outdoor dining or relaxing while overlooking the dunes and water.

This level includes three bedrooms—one king and two queens—and two full bathrooms, making it ideal for families or groups who want everything easily accessible on one floor.

The ground level is thoughtfully designed as an additional living and sleeping space, perfect for kids and grown ups alike. It features a large trundle room with two twin trundle beds that can convert into two king beds, and a second TV/lounge area. As well as a Queen bedroom and 3 piece bathroom.

Outside, a private footpath leads directly from the home to the beach, allowing you to have your toes in the sand within moments of stepping out the back door. A lower-level patio with a gas grill  and outdoor shower offers another space to unwind after a day by the water.

The home comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests and offers parking for four vehicles. High-speed WiFi and two TVs—one in the upstairs living area and one in the downstairs lounge—provide added convenience for both work and downtime.

 All linens are included. Beds are made prior to arrival with fresh, clean linens, and full sets of bath and beach towels are provided, saving guests the typical hassle.  Starter paper goods are also included.

Beautiful decor and an easy walk to the beach, plus plenty of beach towels and chairs. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, though no dish soap was provided (we bought some and left it). Unfortunately, it was not worth the $1,600+ price due to major safety and maintenance issues.
The backyard was unusable and overgrown with weeds. It was covered in cacti and stickers; our 4 kids and the adults spent a chunk of time painfully pulling spikes out of our feet. The grill was also flooded with water and broken, ruining our dinner plans. Inside, the home desperately lacks baby gates on the steep stairs and the back patio, making it highly stressful with toddlers.
Most concerningly, there is black mold on the downstairs window pane from condensation. It affected my breathing so badly I couldn't sleep in that room. It's a nice property, but given the safety hazards and price, we wouldn't stay here again.

Nice home, little street traffic and friendly neighbors. A number of steps to get up into the home and to get to the bottom floor, not uncommon for a beach house.

Back patio was large and covered, with a large table. Great for morning coffee or enjoying the view.

Steps to the beach! Nice thick beach towels provided. As mentioned there are some beach chairs and items available, some were worse for wear, glad we had our own.

Kitchen well appointed, everything you should need in the way of utensils and cookware.

Overall, enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

Really nice house with fantastic deck that has covered and open spaces and a huge table where we ate all our meals. We spent a lot of time out there listening to the ocean and watching pelicans. The only place to gather indoors is the living room, which is 1/3 filled with a huge fireplace that looks nice but isn't in use. When all 7 of us wanted to watch March Madness it was a bit crowded. The beach towels were really nice! The host is super-responsive and helpful!

The house is BEAUTIFUL and the oceanfront location is amazing! We especially appreciated the welcome basket full of goodies, beach chairs, having all linens provided (including beach towels!), boogie boards, and other "extras" that made our stay even more special. We would definitely recommend this home to friends and family and will stay at Seashell Escape again the next time we're in Atlantic Beach!

Truly enjoyed 104 Club Colony. It is a superior beachfront property; the house itself is super clean and completely updated. Everything you might need is provided, especially in the kitchen which indicates to me the place is lovingly cared and actually used by the owners. This is often a hallmark of a "good one" - - and it makes us want to take special care to leave it at least as good shape as we found it. Lots of sleeping berths; but like many beach cottages, space is a premium so I would recommend bringing only closer friends and relations.

I keep a boat at the Fort Macon Marina, so the location was perfect for me, but anyone wanting beachfront in AB will be happy with Club Colony. I was surprised at how much the beach near the pier has accreted since my last stay in the (Dunes) Club area - - beach seemed a mile wide and shelling was a blast.

Highly recommended.
