Sweet Emocean
We had a wonderful stay in this house! Great communication with the owners who made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Close to the beach, shopping and the pool. I loved the special touch of a dog bowl just for our little pup!

Location location location
This place had it all! The location was great. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. It was a short walk to the beach but get the 4x4 pass because there are a lot of beach access ramps to choone from. We mostly went to ramp 44 because at the point there were lots of shells and we could watch people fish. We saw dolphins, turtles, and spinner sharks jumping completely out of the water. The owners were helpful with any questions we had. The place was very clean and comfortable. We saw many shooting stars right from the back deck. I would highly recommend this rental

About the host

Hosted by John Eskins

Host profile image
Our family has been on the Outer Banks since the 1960s, so when John was scheduled to work on the jughandle bridge in Rodanthe, we seized the opportunity to become residents. When Johns job was finished we decided to share our good fortune with vacationers. Someday we plan to return as retirees!
As a bakery owner, Dawn is a well known part of the Hampton Roads Va food community and is an accomplished mixed media artist as well.
Photos and art- Treasured family photos have been gathered from beaches all over the area. Dawns coastal paintings (and one famous throne) can be seen in the house including the surfboard sign out front. She has artwork placed in local galleries and gift shops. The art in the house are all prints, available for sale upon request.

Why they chose this property

Dawn’s grandparents built one of the original beach homes in Carova Beach and her grandfather founded the first fire department there. Her parents were residents in Currituck most of their lives as well. Being raised here means that saltwater also runs in your veins and we can’t imagine ever living too far from the ocean.
Johns family includes many generations of bridge builders, his son being the fourth generation to work on the Bonner (now Marc Basnight) bridge. We are proud of the difficult work that builders have done. They give vacationers access to paradise and provide evacuation routes for residents during storms.

What makes this property unique

We aren’t sure why the original owner chose to build six intimate decks in an 1800 square-foot house but we love the fact that they did! It means we can open any door in the house, to extend our lives outside and bring in fresh air. You can hear the ocean, every day, from every room with natural light and the smell of salt water. It is heavenly.
