About this property
A private, wooded home in Emerald Isle, NC, 5th row from the beach (5 min walk)
Heart of the Sunrise is a spacious, private, oceanside, saltbox home among the trees with three decks near the Point in Emerald Isle. 3-minute nature walk to the beach on a private path from the neighborhood.
Open floor plan on the top floor with a half bath, kitchen with two eat-in islands, dining and living room. Lots of natural light with ceiling to floor windows and an upper deck to take in the tree tops. Kitchen has pots and pans (including a crock pot), two coffee makers (including a Keurig), plates, cups, eating utensils all provided and a dishwasher for convenient clean-up.
On the middle floor - three bedrooms (queen; queen; full and twin), a bonus room (full), and two spacious full bathrooms with two sinks each. The en-suite bathroom has a shower and a jetted tub for soaking and relaxation. Two decks - one in the front and one in the back off the main bedroom. The main bedroom closet has an ironing board and iron for your convenience. Floor to ceiling windows in the bonus room let you observe our local wildlife - deer, turtles, birds. A box fan is also available. Three of the rooms have TVs.
The ground floor has a laundry room with provided laundry detergent and dryer sheets, garage-turned-game-room with a ping pong table and darts, cornhole, bikes and helmets for your use, balls for soccer and volleyball, boogie boards and sand toys for your use, and an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach. Firepit in the side yard, a tree swing in the back, and almost half an acre of wooded property to explore around the home. We challenge you to find and visit our fairy houses with windows that glow in the dark!
Note: Our house rules include no loud parties, no pets, and no smoking inside the home. Please treat our home like your own and better.

About the host
Hosted by Biljana Wilsey

We are a family of five that fell in love with Emerald Isle after vacationing there at the house of some friends. So, we decided to get a beach house of our own so we can enjoy beautiful Emerald Isle more often!
Why they chose this property
We purchased the home in 2021 because we fell in love with the privacy and trees all around the property, as well as the open floor plan on the top floor, the spacious bathrooms, and enough bedrooms so each of our kids can have their own space.
What makes this property unique
We have enjoyed doing some updates like adding the breakfast/coffee bar in the dining room, putting in new granite countertops in the kitchen and turning the garage into a game room. We hope you enjoy our home so much that you are inspired to visit more often just like we were!
