About this property

Custom Beachfront Home, Oceanfront Oasis to relax and recharge.

This is a custom built oceanfront home with spectacular views of the distinctive blue green waters of the Atlantic Ocean and pristine beaches of Emerald Isle. Our expansive deck allows everyone room to spread out enjoying the ocean breeze and either the sun or shade, you decide! Two outdoor showers for your convenience.
This spacious home has all the amenities you will need. Feel free to use any of our beach gear, chairs, tents, toys.

You can grill outdoors on the deck or enjoy using our top of the line Thermador gas range. Of course you are only 10-15 minutes from the wonderful local restaurants of EI if you choose not to cook.

Washing off that sun and sand is easily accommodated in either of the two large walk in tile showers. No need to worry about running out of hot water either as we have a tankless hot water heater.

Our home is just 6 miles from Emerald Isle town center where you will find restaurants, shopping, a movie theater, mini golf, post office, and Bogue Inlet Pier. Swansboro, Morehead City, and Beaufort are all easy drives and are fun to explore. Hammocks Beach State Park, the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores and Fort Macon offer great activities for the whole family. Bring your bikes and ride on the bike path that stretches the length of Emerald Isle.

We typically require 7 day stays during peak season but are happy to try to accommodate your desired length of stay, just message me!

Beautiful, clean, private home!

The ocean views from the home were spectacular with easy private access to the shoreline. The home was clean and modern. The owner, Penny, was very welcoming and made sure our stay was comfortable. The location was perfect with only a short drive to Emerald Isle. Our family of six enjoyed our 4 night stay!!

Stay with dogs

Perfect beach house on a long lovely stretch of wide beach. Quiet residential area, a bit of a drive to for groceries, etc. Easy place for two addults and two elderly well behaved dogs, but lots of steps to get in the house and get to the beach.

Perfect place on the beach

What a gem! The inside of this house was clean, updated and cozy. We went with our 8 and 5 year old which had no problem staying upstairs in the bunk beds. They even had an attached bathroom to their room which was helpful at night. Right across the hall was the primary bedroom which had its own attached bathroom as well! Private trail to the beach, outdoor showers, beach toys, chairs, shade structures this place had everything we needed. Wonderful place to stay

Oceanfront Gem

We have stayed at a lot of ocean front properties over the years, but this one stands out! Beautifully decorated with comfortable furnishings and appointed with upscale appliances such as a Thermador Stove. And to top it off, it's a perfect location to enjoy the beautiful beach at Emerald Isle. We'll be back!

Fantastic House with spectacular views from every room!

Our family has been coming to Emerald Isle for decades. In fact, they built the second house on Emerald Isle, The Dean Cottage. It is still standing and rich with history, just a few miles down Ocean Drive! We love the quiet beaches, the emerald waters and needed a larger cottage to accommodate our growing family. This house was a perfect match and Penny was the perfect host. She was very responsive, the house was exactly as pictured and described, the check in process was incredibly easy, and the house was immaculate. We would absolutely return in a heartbeat.
