Oceanfront Escape at "WaitnSea" - Your Emerald Isle Retreat
Discover the allure of coastal living at "WaitnSea," a beautifully updated four-bedroom, two-bathroom oceanfront half-duplex. This inviting home offers the perfect backdrop for memorable family vacations or a serene remote work environment with unparalleled ocean views.
Immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of the Atlantic, just steps from your door. Recently remodeled (2017-2019), "WaitnSea" features a stylish and functional interior. The open dining and living spaces showcase a gorgeous white kitchen with granite countertops and updated appliances, complemented by a calming neutral décor and continuous LVP flooring. Thoughtfully furnished throughout, the home provides both comfort and elegance.
The layout includes a convenient first-level bedroom and full bathroom. Upstairs, you'll find three additional comfortable bedrooms, including two oceanfront rooms with direct access to the expansive upper-level covered deck. Imagine unwinding each evening with breathtaking ocean vistas. A second full bathroom is also located on this level.
Enjoy the coastal breeze and stunning scenery from two levels of covered oceanfront decks – ideal for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, or evening stargazing. Situated in the quiet Shell Cove neighborhood, "WaitnSea" offers a peaceful ambiance while providing easy access to local conveniences. Located directly across from the NC Wildlife public boat ramp, it's a prime spot for boating enthusiasts. Enjoy daily walks (or rent bikes for your visit from a local shop for leisurely bike rides) along the Emerald Isle bike path that connects you to the shops, restaurants, and amenities of the town center.
Welcoming Your Well-Behaved Dogs:
Up to two well-behaved dogs may join your stay for an additional fee ($150 for the first dog, $75 for the second). We ask that you crate your dog if left unattended, ensure all waste is properly disposed of, and keep them off of the furniture, beds and the dunes. In accordance with local regulations, dogs must be leashed at all times.
Reservation Details:
A rental agreement outlining the terms of your stay will be provided for your review and acceptance after the initial booking, granting you access to the property.
We invite you to experience the tranquility and beauty of Emerald Isle at "WaitnSea."

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Beth Smoot/Mandy Yarborough
Welcome to "WaitnSea," our little slice of paradise on beautiful Emerald Isle on the "Crystal Coast"! Our families' love affair with this enchanting beach stretches back over five decades. Growing up in Winston-Salem, siblings Bryan and Beth spent countless summers here with their extended family, creating cherished memories that have lasted a lifetime.
It wasn't long after we met our amazing spouses – Mandy, who hails from England, and David, a proud Ohioan – that we introduced them to the magic of Emerald Isle. They were instantly captivated, just like we were!
Over the years, this special place has been the backdrop for so many wonderful moments: sandy toes and giggling kids, refreshing dips in the sparkling ocean, peaceful beach strolls at sunrise and sunset, dolphin watching, charming antique finds in nearby Swansboro, delicious local eats, and breezy boat rides on the sound. The list of things we adore about Emerald Isle goes on and on – but the soothing rhythm of the waves crashing on the shore will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Now based in Raleigh, NC, when we're not soaking up the coastal charm ourselves, we're thrilled to share our treasured "WaitnSea" with you. We've poured our hearts into making it a welcoming and comfortable retreat for you and yours, and we sincerely hope you fall in love with Emerald Isle just as much as we have!
What makes this property unique
There are no homes on either side of this property, so the view is unobstructed! Also, because the home faces south, you get to see beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the comfort of the decks or on your beach walks!
