About this property

Enjoy fall in the best way! Come to the beach!


My wife and I invite you to view our home and hopefully make it your summer stay. Our home is in fantastic location, set back from the street and surrounded by mature trees giving a private feel, but only a short walk to the beach. The land mass here is not very wide, only 5 rows of houses from the beach to the main road and 1 row to the sound. That means there is no rush to get to the beach, sleep in; plenty time to find a great spot. The beach is large and most days the water has a glistening emerald glow. Also, a new beach access was built in 2017 and located close to the house. Our home features a spacious and open reverse floor plan with ceilings vaulted eleven feet. New for this year is all three bathrooms have been upgraded with vanities, counter tops, water fixtures, led lighting and toilets. The master bath also has a new enlarged shower. The living room has new reclining couches and the 1st floor entry has all new led lighting fixtures. Lastly the top deck is now finished with composite railing and decking. The top deck is now bare feet friendly and just a great spot to hang out The kitchen is roomy and fully stocked with everything needed to whip up a great meal, while watching the waves. There is seating for six at the kitchen peninsula. The main feature of the dining area is a handmade reclaimed wood table, that seats six comfortably and still have a nice view of the ocean.. After dinner hit the couches, relax and watch some TV. This year we replaced all the tv's with Samsung Smart TVs. They all have HULU loaded and now you have the ability to watch your favorite steaming service. Better yet, grab a drink and step out onto the deck and just relax, watch the waves and listen to that ocean. Also on this level are a half bath and a large pantry. The 3 bedrooms are located on the first floor. We have a master with a king size bed, memory foam mattress, attached bath, large closet and a wall mounted 55 inch flat screen TV . This room has access to the first floor deck. Second bedroom features a queen size bed ,memory foam mattress, large closet and a new wall mounted 32 inch flat screen TV. This room also has access to the first floor deck. The third bedroom has 2 twin beds, a small closet and a new wall mounted 32 inch flat screen TV. All the bedrooms feature ceiling fans. The main entry is on the ground level. As you enter the house you come into a laundry area/catch all, great place to drop all the beach gear. One flight up and you're on the bedroom level. Outside we have a large private newly built outdoor shower with hot/cold water with Trex decking next to a nice seating area under the house. Also, we have a large picnic table and a new gas grille, great for a quick outdoor lunch. Anyone making a trip to the beach knows how valuable that packing space in the car is, so we have beach chairs and umbrellas for you to use. We have plenty of parking and all the exterior lighting is dusk to dawn, making it safer coming and going at night. We are located approximately 3 miles from the center of town, close enough to bike and explore. We are renting Sunday to Sunday. This year we added towels and linens into the booking fee, if you don't need them, let us know and they will be removed before you book. We try very hard to keep our place updated, clean and comfortable for our guest. Please read our reviews and feel free to contact Stephanie with any questions. Thanks for looking and we hope to hear from you. John & Steph

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie & John Kernicky

Host profile image
My wife and I were born and raised in southwestern Pennsylvania and have always had a desire to someday have a home by the beach. We started our search for a beach home a few years ago, and as we traveled further south we came upon Emerald Isle. It did not take long and we knew this is where we wanted to be, it just felt so right.
We were fortunate enough to purchase this home in January of 2017 and spent six weeks over the course of five months rehabbing the property.
Over the years we rented many homes and hotel rooms, but never returned to the same rental. Many were long on promises and very short on delivery.
We put lot of time and energy transforming this into the type of home we would want to rent and be able to come back to year after year. The images posted are exactly how it is, the only thing I can say is the water is actually closer than it appears in our images
We would like to invite you into our home and are excited that you would chose us to be part of you're family vacation.
Have a great summer,

John & Stephanie Kernicky

Why they chose this property

Has to be the location, we are a few miles out from the center of town and that makes it a little less crowded. Emerald Isle has finished the beach reclamation that has made the beach twice as wide as it was. Lots of room to spread out.
