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.

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.

Lovely beach getaway
We had a wonderful family vacation at Tara and Jason's beach house on Emerald Isle. The home has breathtaking views of the ocean and is clean and well-stocked. Tara is a great communicator and ensured everything went smoothly. She's made quite a few updates since the last time we rented the duplex - the appliances are new, the faucets have great water pressure (and the outdoor shower has hot water and lighting) and the bedrooms have modern lights/fans and comfy beds. The deck also had plenty of seating to enjoy the view. Totally recommend this place and hope to stay here again in the future!

The perfect beach front home!
This beautiful home was exactly as advertised, except that the photos don’t do it justice. Upon entering the space we were met immediately with the most gorgeous views! There were also very special personal touches left just for our group. The space was clean, well maintained, well stocked with all needed essentials, and many thoughtful extras as well. My family and I stayed for 2 weeks, and we didn’t want to leave. I really can’t say enough about how perfect it was. If you are looking for a clean, comfortable, spacious and well appointed place that feels like home, this is the one. If you’re questioning it, don’t, just hit book! You won’t be disappointed. We will definitely be back!

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.
