*素晴らしい滞在！*エメラルドアイルバンガロービーチとサウンドの両方への1分間の散歩！

We’re Mark and Andrea, and Sound & SeaDogs truly is our home away from home. Mark is an Indiana native, and Andrea grew up just down the road in Beaufort. From the moment we discovered Emerald Isle with family nearby, we knew it was a hidden gem—one that quickly captured our hearts and became a place we return to again and again. This bungalow is our happy place, where life slows down and the simple joys of the ocean take center stage.

The name SeaDogs is especially meaningful. It’s inspired by the Beaufort High School mascot from the 1940s, a small tribute to Andrea’s roots and the deep history of this coastal community that means so much.

When we first purchased the property as a foreclosure, it needed more than just repairs—it needed love. Through countless hours of hands-on work, thoughtful updates, and a lot of care, we brought new life into this little bungalow. Every improvement was made with the hope of creating a space that feels comfortable, welcoming, and easy to enjoy.

With the beach just steps away on one side and the peaceful sound on the other, Sound & SeaDogs offers the best of both worlds. Whether you’re starting your day with coffee on the patio, enjoying time by the water, or winding down in the evening, we hope—just as we do—you’ll feel a deep sense of peace and happiness here, one that keeps drawing you back year after year.
