About the host
Hosted by Jody and Melissa Stouffer
Melissa and Jody made Carteret County their home after living in Central and Western North Carolina. They have truly immersed themselves in the Salt Life! Jody, a native Marylander and avid home chef, has become very knowledgeable of local seafood and collects his own blue crabs, shrimp and clams. Summer weekends are often spent enjoying Salt Life. In the fall, a Jeep ride on the beach followed by a low country boil is a great way to spend the evening!
Why they chose this property
What separates this beach rental from many of the others, is this property provides all of the amenities to make this the best beach vacation ever! Recognized as a VRBO premiere 5 star rental, three of the five bedrooms have sliding glass doors with spectacular, unobstructed beach and ocean views. The fully stocked kitchen has all of the cookware and dinnerware you could possibly need. The private pool and hot tub are only accessible to Linda's Lanai East and West guests and sits down inside a private deck walkway for privacy. Boogie boards and beach toys are available to guests. The wooden deck extends around the pool straight to the beach for easy access. There are two stations on the deck to the beach, one has a bench to sit down and organize and the other has a shower station. There are additional out door showers on the ground floor between the house and the pool and that is also where the gas grill is located. There is covered parking for two vehicles and an extended driveway allows for additional parking or boat parking. The ground floor contains a laundry room with washer and dryer.
What makes this property unique
Linda's Lanai is one of the only 5 star premier host beachfront rentals on Emerald Isle that also features a private pool and hot tub.
