NORTH CAROLINA
hey there! we’re so glad you’re here. Carteret Curated is hosted by Mary Cheatham King Real Estate (MCKRE), a team of women who love so many things about living in Carteret County. On Instagram, our Carteret Curated account allows us to share our favorite finds from small businesses and organizations all along the Crystal Coast and to shine a light on the people who make our community special. We love it when clients ask our opinion on where they should go out for dinner or take their kids on a rainy afternoon. For years we thought about how to create a resource that would help both folks looking for insider advice AND our local hard-working business owners. Enter the Carteret Curated People’s Choice Awards – an annual campaign where our community gets the chance to nominate and celebrate their favorite small businesses within a variety of categories. In 2022, the People’s Choice Awards garnered thousands of nominations and votes, all from folks who live in or love Carteret County. Hundreds upon hundreds of businesses were nominated and we are thrilled to be able to share every single one in the pages to follow. Whether you keep it on your coffee table or download it to your phone, we hope this year’s People’s Choice Guide, will make 2022 the best year yet for your adventures in Carteret County!

@carteret.curated ON THE COVER This year’s featured cover photo was captured by our friend Meredith Underwood (@meredithunderwoodphoto), a local natural light photographer who specializes in portraits, weddings, families, babies and couples. Our Carteret Curated community voted from a handful of photo options and chose Meredith’s photo from a recent family session in Atlantic Beach! We are so lucky to have so many talented photographers, like Meredith, right here in Carteret County! Be sure to visit pg. 21 for an entire list of local photographers!
