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 about 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 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 2023, 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 2023 the best year yet for your adventures in Carteret County!

ON THE COVER

This year’s featured cover photo was captured by our friend Kali Moeck (@kalimoeckphotography). Kali is a local photographer who strives to capture the people and places that are special to you and showcase them in a way that creates a still frame of real life moments. Following an open submission from local photographers, our Carteret Curated community voted Kali’s photo of her son strolling along the beach for this year’s cover! Kali says, “seeing him with his little sandy feet framed by that perfect sunset is a beautiful reminder of how thankful I am to live on the Crystal Coast!”

Be sure to visit pg. 25 for an entire list of local photographers!

local business l ve

We know that, just like us, you love our local small businesses. Here are ways that you can support them all year long:

Write a review. Writing reviews helps increase presence online, drive traffic to the businesses’ website and give prospective customers a better idea of what the small business is all about.

Utilize social media. Snap a photo and show a small business some love on platforms like Instagram or Facebook. Be sure to tag them, and tag us (@carteret.curated)! We’d love to help spread the love, too.

Text or email your group threads. Did you recently have a great experience or find an awesome product at a local business? Shout it from the rooftops! Send your friends, family or coworkers to your favorite spots.

Shop with them. Purchasing an item, service or gift card is a fantastic way to support your favorite local business, making sure that they are able to serve the community for years to come!

Send a note to the owner. Personally reaching out to a business owner with an email, direct message or handwritten note and letting them know why you appreciate them and their contributions to our community means the world.
