..........you have your own pool and hot tub too.
Close your eyes and imagine...your day begins with a steaming cup of hot coffee in hand as you lean up against a mountain of pillows in bed and watch the waves crash against the shore for as far as your eye can see. Longing to spend the day just like this, you remember that the family is gathering in the upper gazebo, to watch the sunrise over the ocean. The sound of many voices speaking at once greets you, as you listen to them excitedly discuss the many options for the day.
And the options are many - day trips to sight see or shop in Morehead City, Swansboro, New Bern or even Wilmington, a ferry ride to Bear Island for shelling and solitude, a kayak ride in the ocean or among the shallows in Bogue Sound, a pontoon or power boat rental at a nearby marina, a bike ride into town along the bike path that winds through the island.
But with the morning progression, you day dream of watching the sunset over Bogue Sound while relaxing in the outdoor hot tub. You now ponder a leisurely day under the beach umbrella reading a novel while the kids dash in and out of the waves with their boogie boards and build enormous sand castles on the beach.
Our hunt for the perfect beach home occurred over eight or ten years. We visited resort towns in five states and found the friendliest beach with the best value and atmosphere right here in Emerald Isle. We wanted a clean, wide beach with sparkling blue/green ocean water just in reach so our access to the beach is simply a walk out of our front door.
And, would you appreciate having a selection of restaurants with delicious local seafood caught daily? Would you like them to be close by with no long lines to contend with? (Are you already getting the idea that we’re quite picky?) And as everyone knows, no one EVER goes to the beach to clean house or make beds. Upon arrival you will find the house clean with linens and towels that we provide laid out.
We wanted to make sure that our guests can invite plenty of friends and extended family. Beach houses are for sharing, and our beach house is so big you may lose someone if you’re not careful. Imagine the luxury of having two living rooms, one for the children and one for the adults.
Last but not least, Emerald Isle has all of the trimmings of most beach communities, but doesn’t overwhelm you and it keeps its prices to a manageable scale. You'll be able to start saving for next year!
We have included sixteen pictures on our web site to educate you. Seeing the pictures is important but it is a MUST to watch the VIDEO, which ties the pictures together and tells a complete story. For important and excellent area information please email us. We want to meet your needs rather than try to sell you something so check out Emerald Isle for yourself and ask any additional questions you have.
Like all owners we try to put our best foot forward but don't listen to us........see what past renters have said by reviewing the comments section.
Check the online calendar to make sure the dates you want are available before contacting us. We do keep it up to date.
Thank you so much for visiting our website.

Great house and location

This was our first year renting this house and we absolutely loved it. The location is great, not much traffic and the beach is just across the street, couldn't ask for anything more. Everything we needed was right at our fingertips, from the chairs for the beach, bikes to ride around the neighborhood and everything needed to cook our meals. The kids had a great time too and there was plenty of things to keep them busy. They could swim at the beach or in the pool while we relaxed and enjoyed the weather and scenery. It was beautiful in the morning sitting in the gazebo enjoying the ocean, the breeze and a cup of coffee. We will definitely be back to rent this house again. Thanks for the great time!!

Perfect Family Home

Just returned from the most phenomonal family beach vacation. This home is perfect - the "extras" the owner includes, such as lots and lots of beach chairs, beach toys, pool toys, games, movies, etc. The kids ages 15 - 2 years all had so much fun and we did not need to pack lots of things to keep them occupied. The house itself is great, a family room on the first floor so the kids could watch movies while the adults had some peaceful moments on the second floor. The proximity to the beach was perfect - morning set up our spot on the beach, back to the house for lunch, more beach time, then relax in the pool late afternoon. And of course, the hot tub after the kids were settled in for the night. It just doesn't get bettter than this property - we all decided to do this property again in two years!
Owner response:Thanks to you Nana and Family. I had many wonderful renters this summer (and a few yet to go). You and yours were part of making this a great season for me as an Emerald Isle beach homeowner.

This was our 7th year and we already booked for our 8th year. The place is great! We fill up the bedrooms with our families and still have room for everyone should they want to do something differant! Every year we rent kayaks from Hot Wax for several days and kayak the ocean and the bogue. The biking around the island is great from the bike paths to the off road trails that we found. There is a good variety of resturants to choose from. My daughter had her wedding on the beach 3 years ago and we had the reception underneath the house! Our families enjoy our stay and can't wait till next year!
Owner response:Best renters ever. Keep coming back, Fred, Rose and the rest of your wonderful group!!!!

We cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful vacation we had at this house! The house was amazing and it offered everything we needed from pots and pans to pool toys for the kids. We found that we ate together as a family at the big table each morning and night and had some very interesting conversations. Cocktail hour in the gazebo was a hit with the adults! It is very evident that you put your heart and soul in this house from the funky fish decorations to cleaning of the pool. We are already planning another trip.
Owner response:I sure hope you mean it, Kim (about coming back). Thanks so much for staying at my beach home and for the glowing review.

Amazing Home.....Amazing Vacation
Guest: Deborah
(Ashland, KY)

We rented your home in Sept 2010. We loved it!!! It was perfect for the adults and the young children that we had in a vacation party spanning 4 generations. Although you can't tell it from the pictures, it is literally 10 steps to the beach sand from the front yard. The gazebo was a huge hit in our group as was the pool and jacuzzi. We spent lots of time on the beach because it was to easy to walk over and back. We took our two oldest grandchildren, ages 3 and 2 to the Aquarium and would recommend it. We would also recommend this rental to others and hope to return ourselves in 2011.
Owner response:Although it's taken me a year to respond, thanks so much Deborah for your kind words. I'm very happy to have you back this September.

We had a wonderful time at Point Lookout. My family and 2 others, 10 persons total, shared this beautiful house. The views were spectacular, especially from the gazebo, where we spent considerable time! The private pool and hot tub were great. I would highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful time at Point Lookout. The view was phenomenal. Those of us with babies especially enjoyed being able to see the ocean from the 2nd floor and enjoy the gazebo as well. We all loved the pool and hot tub. The kitchen was well equipped as was the pool room. We would stay here again.

We all (13 of us) had a wonderful time in this beach house. The house was decorated beautifully, and we all really loved the view from the second story. Debbie has really taken a great deal of time in decorating and seeing that the guests have everything they need. The swimming pool and hot tub were used quite a bit and we appreciated the fact that they are maintained so well. Our daughter wrote in the guest book about our stay, and everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you from all of us.

What a wonderful vacation! We've stayed at other homes in the Outer Banks, but none with such a wonderful view and great accomodations. The pool was a big hit with the kids, as was the hot tub for the adults! There was easily enough room for 14 people without tripping over each other. We could not have asked for a more fun, relaxing and memorable vacation home.
