Need to get away for a few days and unplug from the demands of everyday life? We feel ya. If you’re the sort of person that loves niche places to stay that offer something other then opulent luxury that comes with a five-star price, then the following vintage and cozy beach lodge could soon become your secret hideaway.
Built in 1963, Atlantis Lodge in Pine Knoll Shores sits right in the heart of North Carolina’s Crystal Coast.

Each room has a balcony and a sweeping view of the Atlantic. And because the island faces South, nine months out of the year you can watch both the sunrise — and the sunset — over the Atlantic!

The lodge encompasses three magical acres of whimsical and friendly design.

Unlike so many other waterfront properties along the beach, the pool is secluded and offers up peace and quiet. During colder months, it’s heated so you can still enjoy a swim on a cool day.

And what true lodge would be complete without a porch and rocking chairs pointed directly at the best views around? When you feel you’ve maxed-out on the rest and relaxation (is that even possible?), there are plenty of options for nearby excursions. Take a look:

And last, but not least, since you’re staying in a vintage lodge, why not have a meal in a vintage diner? The Pier House Restaurant is located at Oceanana Pier and piles the plate high with delicious home cookin’ to go with the ocean views available out the windows.
