Toes in the Sand 🏖 Drink in Hand! 2 Decks, Views throughout, Great location!
Come enjoy our beautiful Beachfront home on Emerald Isle. 4BD Half Duplex where all your worries melt away! Watch the waves break along the shore, see dolphins swim along the coastline, fish from the surf, and make lifelong memories with family and friends. Feel right at home with the well-stocked kitchen, freshly made beds, and tasteful touches throughout. Travel light with all the basics provided to get your vacation started. Downstairs Bed/Bath. Ocean views throughout!
🏖️ Private beach access
🚿 Two Outdoor Showers
🌊 Ocean Views from all king bed rooms
📺 Smart TVs in every bedroom
☕🍹 Two Decks to enjoy sunrises and sunsets
🛌 Three King Beds + 4 Twin Bunk Beds
🏄♂️ Sand chairs, toys, boogie boards provided
Enter on the Main Floor: Kitchen/Living/Dining open floor plan with views straight to the sea. Ocean-facing Bedroom with King Bed + ensuite bath, deck with tall captains chairs leading to private beach access
Upstairs: Bedroom 1 | King Bed with en-suite Bathroom, Bedroom 2 | King Bed. Oceanview deck off bedrooms with access from both. Full bathroom with tub. Bedroom 3 | Four bunk beds
All rentals include King Beds freshly made and towels provided. Bunk bed linens and towels provided. Extra pillows and blankets in every closet. Beach towels. (If you have 4 or less staying please message us for reduced linen fee options)..
New picture windows and sliding door, new upstairs carpet and New LVP flooring throughout downstairs and all bathrooms for easy beach living.
Kitchen is well-stocked featuring: Stainless Fridge, NEW Ninja Single Cup or Pot Coffee Maker, NEW Ninja Blender for your smoothies (or margaritas!), NEW Calphalon Pots and Pans, Brita filter, waffle iron, microwave, toaster, cookware and dinnerware, basic spices, oil, condiments. We believe you should have everything you need to cook throughout your stay and to serve up a beautiful spread on the farmhouse table. (We also believe that eating out every day is OK too!)
Fast Wi-Fi, 4 Smart TVs to log into your own streaming programs, Wireless Charging Stations, Bluetooth speaker/Alexa, PS3/BlueRay in the Bunk room, Board and card games, DVD player with "all the classic" DVDs downstairs.
For the littles: Toddler Stool/chair, Baby gate, toys, pack-n-play
Enjoy the beach life with a variety of provided beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, beach towels. Rent our Shibumi Shade or Bikes by request. The A/C works great and there are fans throughout to make it comfortable inside all the time.
Two outdoor showers: One as you come off the sand for a quick rinse, and then a full outdoor private shower with hot water, beneath the home.
BBQ Grill and tool kit for your use, though propane availability cannot be guaranteed.
Located on a cul-de-sac, there is plenty of space out front for parking as well as safe place for kids to run and play.
We provide the basics to get your stay started: coffee, tea, toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo and soap. Restock as needed depending on length of stay, and help pay it forward for other guests.
We are a 20 minute bike or 5 minute drive from local restaurants, the pier, mini golf, a water park, the supermarket coffee shops, wine market and more. But with views like this, you probably won't want to leave! Rent a golf cart for a fun way to enjoy driving around. Set up your own picnic on the beach every day.
In the summer, enjoy a beach that never gets overcrowded and steps from your house to the sand. In the spring/fall/winter, enjoy some of the best fishing in the area right from the surf out your backdoor, and the hidden gems of North Carolina beaches that are awesome all -year long.
We've set out to make this home comfortable for our family and friends, and we hope you will enjoy it as well and care for it like your own.

About the host
Hosted by Tara Lindstrom

About: After leaving behind the grind (and politics) of California, we moved to the Raleigh area and then fell in love with the beaches of North Carolina and especially Emerald Isle. After selling some of our restaurants in California, we decided to invest the money in a place that our children could grow up going to and that would provide lifelong memories for our family and friends. We are excited to share it with others looking to experience "the pure life"- Pura Vida- and the beaches of NC are definitely that! Pristine, clean, not crowded, warm water, and the nicest people everywhere you go!
Just purchased in Sept 2021, we are slowly/quickly making this home our own and adding all the comforts and amenities we would like to see in a beach home rental. Recent updates include kitchen amenities, basic toiletries, new linens and towels and a new mattress. Our kids are also adding some favorite things to make the beach house fun for littles. We hope you enjoy the space as much as we do. There truly is nothing like waking up to the sights and sounds of the waves every day.

Why they chose this property
There is ample parking on site for 3-4 cars and the cul-de-sac location makes it private, safe and quiet. One block from the walking/running/biking path that runs the length of the island. You'll find this location convenient to anywhere you are headed on the crystal coast.

What makes this property unique
From the minute you walk in the front door, all you see is the sea! From all the main bedrooms, kitchen/living room, and of course the back deck. We felt the home was perfectly comfortable, cared for as someone's own, meticulously clean, and tastefully updated with picture windows and new, pristine floors. The furniture is top quality and the beds are comfortable. But it's really about the BEACH. Wide, clean, white sand and plenty of space to run, play and relax. It's close enough to walk, ride, golf cart or bike to the Pier and other shops and restaurants, but perfectly tucked back enough to be quiet and private. It can fit two families comfortably, but doesn't feel overwhelming with just a few people in it. To us, its the perfect beach house to enjoy year after year.
