We are the west side of a duplex, and our side faces is the end of the culdesac so your views of the ocean are unrestricted from all rooms and decks with. There is no shared deck or living space just the stairs in and path to beach. Other half is not a rental and often not occupied, but even if it is, we rarely cross paths with people there.

**New for 2026- full kitchen remodel and downstairs new flooring. Plus picture windows to enhance ocean views in all 3 King Bedrooms**

Enjoy Outside Living: New Deck with 4 Captain's Chairs for ocean viewing + Polywood Dining Table, Upper level has balcony with ocean view that is shared by 2 of the King Bedrooms. Main deck has direct, private beach access.

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, Panoramic window

For the littles: Baby gate, pack-n-play

Enjoy the beach life and travel lighter with a variety of provided beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, beach towels. 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.

Grill and BBQ tool kit for all those amazing "catches of the day" (propane should be there but 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.

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 winter, watch dolphins jump through the waves right from the back porch or ocean view windows!

In the summer, enjoy a beach that never gets overcrowded and steps from your house to the sand. Bring all your stuff and just leave it for the day. It's basically your private beach!

In the spring/fall/winter, enjoy some of the best fishing and sunset views 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

Host profile image
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.

BEACHES: Indian Beach (6 miles), Atlantic Beach Access (15 miles), Circle Regional Beach Access (15 miles), Fort Macon Bathhouse & Beach Access (10.8 miles), Emerald Isle Beach (9.1 miles), Hammocks Beach State Park (18.4 miles)
STATE + NATIONAL PARKS: Theodore Roosevelt Natural Area (3.0 miles), Atlantic Beach Town Park (7.6 miles), Fort Macon State Park (10.9 miles), Rachel Carson Reserve - Includes Ferry (16.6 miles), Croatan National Forest (33.7 miles), Cape Lookout National Seashore - Includes Ferry (36.6 miles)
ATTRACTIONS: Lost Treasure Golf & Raceway (0.3 miles), North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores (4.2 miles), Bogue Inlet Fishing Pier (9.0 miles), Oceanana Pier (9.2 miles), Salty Pirate Waterpark (10.0 miles), Morehead Portside Marina (11.6 miles), Downtown Beaufort (14.9 miles), North Carolina Maritime Museum (15.0 miles), Island Express Ferry Service (15.1 miles), Shackleford Wild Horse & Shelling Safari (15.1 miles)

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.
