About the host
Hosted by Chris Murphy
My wife Karen and I love the ocean! We met in Southern California and have lived in multiple states over the years, usually by the water. The ocean has always been our sanctuary, thus the name. When we were offered the opportunity to purchase this home, it was a dream come true... a true blessing. This is our home away from home and hope you feel the same way during your stay.
We love sitting on one of the many decks, grabbing a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the late afternoon while watching the dolphins as they make their way up the coast.

Why they chose this property
This property is a duplex and has a private walkway to the beach, not shared with the other half of the duplex. If you are looking for a place right on the beach that is comfortable and family oriented, you have found it! It's a place to play in the sand or swim in the ocean, while avoiding the crowds, just steps from your back door. Emerald Isle is a south facing beach, offering views of beautiful sunrises in the morning and sunsets in the evening. It is a gorgeous place to be year round. Emerald Isle was voted the best beach in North Carolina by USA Today in 2018.
What makes this property unique
We have a keyless door entry system for easy access.
