Luxury 6 BR Oceanfront! Pool, Elevator-10%Discount Mar & Apr
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Emerald Isle
After vacationing on Emerald Isle for over 10 years staying; for one or two weeks each Summer; at the same lovely and accommodating rental home, enjoying the beaches, ocean and other attractions in the area, we decided we would purchase our own beach house if the opportunity presented itself. In 2001 the opportunity came. We built TRANQUILITY and have since enjoyed many wonderful vacations with family and friends. The memories we have are priceless.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Some of the activities which have made our vacations at TRANQUILITY so special are the gatherings of family and friends together to enjoy each others company; teaching the grandchildren to swim in the pool, body surf in the ocean and fish in Bogue Sound; flying kites on the beach; day trips to the Lighthouse at Cape Lookout; visits to the NC Aquarium on rainy days; cooking and eating fresh crabs and clams; bike riding to the ice cream shop; and in the cool months, sitting in the hot tub on a clear night, looking at and hearing the pounding surf, and gazing up at the starry starry sky wearing our ski hats and holding a glass of fine wine.
Owner's Map of Emerald Isle
Our family began vacationing on Emerald Isle, North Carolina in the early 1990's, returning year after year to the same lovely and accommodating rental home, the beautiful white sandy beaches and the warm ocean waters. In 2001 an opportunity arose for us to build an oceanfront home and we seized upon it, building TRANQUILITY, our 3,300 sq ft, 6 bedroom beach house which was completed in May 2002. Our family of five children and eleven grandchildren have had a great time every year vacationing at TRANQUILITY, enjoying not only the beach, ocean, pool, hot tub and other amenities the house offers, but the day trips to the Lighthouse at Cape Lookout, the historic towns of Beaufort, New Bern and Swansboro, as well as visits to the recently renovated and expanded NC Aquarium, only 20 minutes away. We enjoyed the CRYSTAL COAST so much that in 2008 we moved to Swansboro, NC, 10 miles from Emerald Isle. As a retired nurse and engineer we have now committed ourselves to ensuring that the families who select TRANQUILITY as their vacation home enjoy the same pleasures and memorable family moments offered by EMERALD ISLE and the CRYSTAL COAST; the pleasures we and our family have enjoyed over the past 18 years. Come and experience all the simple pleasures a vacation at the ocean has to offer, and bring home family memories which will last a lifetime.

We have been coming to Emerald Isle for 15 years, sometimes in the summer and sometimes in the winter. We have rented all sorts of houses but this was probably one of the best. Everything is as described. We had a family of 10 staying at the house and cooked dinner for 20+ some nites. Plenty of room for everybody. The owners are very attentive to your needs. Thanks for letting us enjoy your house!

This property was excellent. We had a mixture of ages from 5 to 92 and everyone enjoyed themselves. The kitchen was more than excellently stocked with any appliance/tool you could want. The beach area is very convenient for everyone and it was a hot spot for surf fishing. This property's photos which are excellent don't do it justice. It much more impressive in real life. The owners were extremely friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this property to anyone desiring a fabulous time on the Crystal Coast.

50th Anniversary Celebration

We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary by having all of our children and grandchildren from Ohio, Vermont and North Carolina join us at Tranquility for a week of celebration and hilarity - all this in lieu of a cruise to some distant coast whose name we couldn't pronounce and where tipping would have been required. We were however welcomed to Tranquility by our hosts with a magnificent 50th Anniversary cake decorated with chocolate and strawberries! Wow! Were we ever surprised! From the Master Bedroom (while still in bed!) we had only to roll over to watch the gentle waves breaking on the beach below. Through those windows and their respective outdoor decks we were able to view magnicent moon rises (and even some thunderstorms!) over the ocean while also being able to identify each of our grandchildren playing at the water's edge. Sometimes we even dared to join them! The beach was grand for walking - and walk we did! As we departed Tranquility on Sunday we found ourselves saying "Next year in Jerusalem!" or something like that. It won't be our 50th - but we'll find some excuse!

We have stayed in this wonderful home 11 times! There are 3 things that bring us back at least once a year - and sometimes twice a year: (1) It is a beautiful home - and a beautifully decorated home - that continues to look new and fresh year after year; (2) The view of the ocean is breathtaking; and (3) The owners truly care about those who rent this home, and do everything possible to make your stay the best.

This is my first stay on Emerald Isle after 6 visits to the Outer Banks, and all I can say is WOW! This was the BEST Ocean House renting experince I have ever had. First the Hosts...this is no management company renting you this home, it is the home owners. And what greatful, knowledgable hosts they are. They meet you and give you the ENTIRE tour of their home, a priceless addition to the vacation. Their home is stacked to the gills! The kitchen has EVERYTHING! No need to bring anything! (The smoothie/margarita maker was an extra plus!) with new appliances. All of the rooms are spacious. The bathrooms are VERY clean, the linens and towels are provided which is also a nice plus. 1st floor refridgerator(nice bonus for pool time beverages), pool table, soccer table, flat screen TV, futons, and of course the elevator. The garage is completely enclosed and nice. Pool toys, beach chairs, outdoor shower, new grill with fish cleaning table near by. Outdoor hoses everywhere, a well maintained walkway to a low populated VERY CLEAN white sand beach, and of course you cannot beat the view from EVERYWHERE! The well maintain porches 2nd and 3rd floor provide the perfect getaway with the wonderful rockers and chairs and tables. The town is perfect...Food Lion, ABC liquor, fish markets, restaurants, pizza places, movie theater, shopping, gas stations, bars, ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you need is literally 5 minutes away...we never left the island. We saw there were fishing boats and activities as we were coming in, but honestly, we never had a need to leave the house. Thank you George and Suzanne for a wonderful; experience!

This was by far one of our family's best vacations! I can not state emphatically enough how relaxing and fun it was. My boys (15 and 17yrs), my wife, and my brother all had a great time. There was plenty to do and also plenty of escape to just kick back and recharge. The home was large, beautiful and clean. The owners were friendly, kind, and informative. We played on the beach and used the pool. My wife and I walked every morning for miles on the beach. We brought our bikes and rode to explore the community. The aquarium is a nice 1/2 day excursion. Most days we ate at the house but there was plenty of dining available on and off the ilse. Great time! Thank you again!

Our family of 10, stayed at Tranquility the first week of June, 2011 which was our first visit to Emerald Isle. We met the owners who were extremely hospitable, gracious and accommodating. The house itself was gorgeous. It accommodated our family very well; with no problems and plenty of room...it was beautiful on the inside and extremely neat and clean. The kitchen was well equipped and offered more than you would actually need. This oceanfront house has a spectacular view of the ocean from all levels. The pool was great and that's where our family spent most of their time. In the evening, everyone loved the downstairs playroom. Emerald Isle is the place to go and Tranquility is definitely the place to stay...we loved it!

Our family has gathered annually at Tranquility for 5 years. We come from CA, TX, OR, GA, IL, and NC because this is such a great place to stay, relax, and enjoy. The house is beautiful and George and Suzanne go to great lengths to make sure everything is clean, modern, and working. Our clan ranges in age from 4 to 84 and everyone has such a great time, we keep coming back.

This Ocean Front Home is absolutely the best! We have been visiting the island for over 6 years with our growing family and we were extremely impressed from the moment we first spoke with George & Suzanne to arrange our rental. They are so kind and helpful and truly care to make your visit a pleasant one. They greeted us upon arrival and gave us a tour of everything to make sure we didn't have any questions. The house is just beautiful.. the pictures don't even do it justice. But so comfortable to relax in too! I slept so peacefully!! Everything is so clean and fresh. And the kitchen is TRULY stocked to a chef's delight! They even had baby equipment, games and tons of pool toys for the kids to save us space in our car for traveling. They thought of EVERYTHING! Thank you George and Suzanne!!!
