About this property
Oceanfront 6BR, 4BA — Private Beach Access + Panoramic Views + Community Pool
Kialoa is a spacious three-level oceanfront duplex located within the private, oceanside Spinnakers Reach community. Known for its wide beaches and beautiful emerald-green water, this quiet, family-friendly neighborhood offers both privacy and convenience, with a community pool, toddler playground, and small clubhouse just across the street at the end of the driveway.
Designed for easy gathering and relaxed coastal living, the home features six bedrooms—including two king rooms and four queen rooms (one with an additional twin bed)—along with four full bathrooms. Beds are made with fresh linens prior to arrival, and each bathroom is stocked with clean towels, so you can settle in with ease from the moment you arrive.
Kialoa offers direct beach access via its own private boardwalk and dune-side deck, making it easy to move from home to shoreline in minutes. The setting is truly special, with views of white sand, clear water, and coastal wildlife—dolphins are often spotted just offshore, and sea turtle nesting areas can be found along the beach.

We were very pleased with the property. Perfect location and the house was great. The covered deck was a great place to watch the beach or read a book. We’ve been going to this area for about 10 years and this is by far our favorite place!
This house is quite lovely and well-stocked with kitchen utensils and appliances. Great views from the house and beautiful furnishings. Owner was responsive to our needs.

Hey Nancy, thanks for taking time to review & so glad you guys enjoyed your stay & thanks again for being our guest at Kialoa.
Another amazing week at the beach. We love Emerald Isle and this rental is one of the best. There is plenty of room for extended family to spread out. The new decking and deck furniture is great. The house is in a great location, was very clean and well maintained. It had comfortable beds, kitchen/cooking essentials, and many amenities. The only negative comments heard during the entire stay - the coffee cups are too small!

Kialoa was a great house to stay for a week. Plenty of room for all of us. The view from the deck is fantastic. The private walkway to the beach was very nice... owner quick to respond. Would highly recommend.

The property was exactly as advertised. The beds were comfy and our three generations enjoyed large family meals of locally caught seafood at the generous dining table. The waves and the beach are among the finest in North and South Carolina.

Wonderful week
We spent a great week in this location. The beach was gorgeous, the water was crystal clear and not too cold or too rough. The air worked great, each room was comfortable for sleeping.
Great access to the community pool which was never crowded.
Perfect secluded location made for great walks on the beach. Nice tide pools at low tide for the little kids.

Wonderful experience at Kialoa. Great location and nice place that had everything we needed for a terrific week. Even better, I really liked Scott. We feared a hurricane would interrupt out trip but Scott was very accommodating and it worked out well. Would be happy stay again.

We loved our stay. The kitchen and bedrooms are well stocked with all the necessities. Very easy walk to the beach. Great to have a covered deck and it was fenced in with a gate. Perfect for our small children! The garage had everything we needed for the beach. We will definitely return.
