About this property

"The Sailfish" - 7 bedroom second row house from the ocean!

The Sailfish - Beautiful Emerald Isle, NC;

The Sailfish is a private beach house for rent in Emerald Isle, NC, at the beginning of the Crystal Shores of the NC Outer Banks. The beaches on Emerald Isle are gorgeous white sand, great for swimming and fishing. No hotels or commercial activity on the beach makes this an unspoiled, family-oriented place to enjoy the beach. We rent the Sailfish only to family groups of up to 14 persons. Our house sits on the 2nd row, right across the street from beachfront. Walk down our walkway and cross the small street to the public beach access right in front of the house. If you want to go clamming in the sound, just walk down our driveway and cross the street in the other direction, to reach the sound.
The Sailfish is fully air conditioned, has two floors, ocean views from each floor, and 7 comfortable bedrooms. Two rooms dedicated to play: the upstairs sunroom with game tables, and the downstairs rec room with ping pong table. Our parents built this lovely large space so that our family could vacation together. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we still do!
Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms and two full baths that interconnect between bedrooms. Two ocean-view bedrooms have 1 queen bed each. Two other bedrooms each have 2 double beds. The large, airy living room has a vaulted ceiling and ceiling fans. Large dining table with seating up to 12 persons. Fully equipped kitchen. Spacious sunroom with two tables, perfect for games, working remotely, or extra seating for dining. We keep an assortment of games, puzzles and books in the sunroom, available for guests to enjoy. Or you can sit on the deck/balcony on the upper floor with a cool drink after a day at the beach.
Downstairs, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. One queen bedroom has ocean view, one bedroom with double bed and desk set-up that is great for working remotely, and one bedroom with 2 twin beds. Also downstairs is our rec room, with full size ping pong table, and sitting area with cable tv. Kitchenette downstairs as well, with full size refrigerator/ freezer (great to have with a large family!), microwave and small dishwasher.
There is plenty of parking for your family in our large gravel parking area behind the house! For more photos and the contract link, see our website:

Grown Family House

Excellent place for family vacation. Plenty of room and accommodated our group of 4 couples and 6 teenage kids very well. Nothing fancy but super clean and a perfect weekly rental with everything we needed at a reasonable price. Great location with great management.

Awesome

It fit our family perfectly. There was plenty for everyone to do whatever they wanted. It was close to the beach. Nice views- plenty of chairs on the deck. The family enjoyed playing ping pong. We had a great time!

Great vacation

Tons of stuff to do at the house, everyone loved the ping pong tables and the pool noodles were well used. Almost lived on the deck. What a great place to spend the evening

Wonderful house

We really loved staying at the Sailfish! Such a great property, and everything possible was provided. The only complaint we had was that there were no beach towels - not a huge problem, but if we're paying $225 for linens and towels, the assumption is that beach towels are included in that. The house is much more spacious than the pictures show- really well laid out, and the kids enjoyed having the ping pong table and lower area to hang out in. TLDR- amazing house, bring beach towels.

A Great Place to Stay

This is a well-maintained property. It's obvious that the owners are hands-on and care. Seven bedroom houses are hard to find without paying an arm and a leg. Also, there were beach chairs and toys, bicycles, board games, even a ping pong table. The view from the balcony was fantastic and the walk to the beach was short. I can't afford Emerald Isle every year, but the next time I can, I'll look for this house again.

About the host

Why they chose this property

We began traveling from Greensboro, NC, to Emerald Isle in 1962! Our family has grown, the beach has changed, the house has been rebuilt after several hurricanes, but we still love it! We know you will also...

What makes this property unique

Emerald Isle is a beautiful beach, and this particular stretch is even nicer because it is not crowded. The house has been specifically set up for family groups to be able to eat together, play together, and enjoy the summertime! And by the way, we had a new deck built in 2017. And the 2 upstairs baths have been completely upfitted as of 2017!
