Incredible sunset views from sound front deck AND a short two block walk to the wide open sandy beaches of EI! Open living/kitchen area. Sound front dock to fish from or for easy access for kayaking, paddle boarding or just watching the crabs and rays at low tide! The peace that comes from being in your new Happy Place!

Ready for the 2023 rental season, with accommodations for 6, boat slip and wave runner lifts and fish cleaning station at end of pier.

You will love this large open floor plan with the central area of the home being all open living, kitchen, dining and reading nook.

The right side of the house has a door that can separate it from the living area and has a full bath shared between the Queen Bedroom and bedroom with 2 twin XL beds, comfortable for either adults or kids.

Our home is less than 5 miles from Emerald Isle town center where you will find restaurants, shopping, a movie theater, mini golf, post office, and Bogue Inlet Pier. Swansboro, Morehead City, and Beaufort are all easy drives and are fun to explore. Hammocks Beach State Park, the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores and Fort Macon offer great activities for the whole family. Bring your bikes and ride on the bike path that stretches the length of Emerald Isle!

A nice place on the water
The sound side of the island gives and takes away. You can't really swim in the sound (or I didn't feel good about it in any case). But it's lovely to look at. In some ways better than the ocean side, as it is just an extra ~500 feet to the water, and you have basically no foot traffic on our side. We had my parents, my sister, and my son at the property, and it was very comfortable for the five of us. Bedding was good. The pillows were decent (which is all you can ask for nowadays -- hotel pillows are generally rubbish, so my expectations for VRBO pillows is always tempered, but I had no problems with these ones). The tile in the master bath was objectively great, and on theme. The paintings were nice. Great deck to sit on and watch the world go by. No problems on check-in or check-out.

Exceeded our expectations
This beach rental was beautiful. Everything about this place is great. Decor, view, location, it was just perfect. Very attentive host. The place was clean and beautiful and we can’t say enough. The back porch and dock we even more stunning in person. Everything we could need for a great week at the beach!

Not your typical EI rental
For those looking for a little more 'high-end' experience than your typical EI rental, look no further. Luxe finishes in abundance presented in a soothing, calm palette. Breathtaking views of the water - top shelf all the way around. Quick walk to the beach. Home was better than presented and provided an excellent backdrop for the two of us to bring in the New Year!

Perfect week on Bogue Sound
We could sit on that porch overlooking the sound and dock for hours. It was so beautiful and peaceful. The house was great,updated and decorated tastefully. Penny was very prompt answering questions. Hope to return again.
