Your fully renovated half duplex beach cottage provides a perfect stay for guests leaving no comfort ignored. You are steps from the beach allowing you to watch the birds soar, and dolphins jump while the kids swim, fly kites and build sandcastles. Eat breakfast on the deck while watching the sunrise or enjoy your favorite cocktail and catch the most spectacular sunsets anyone could imagine. Bring your pole and try your hand at some surf fishing. Completely remodeled inside and out this 4 bedroom and 2 bath, half duplex provides you the perfect oceanfront getaway. An open kitchen, dining, and living area compliment the master bedroom with a queen bed and full bath on the first floor. The 3 bedrooms with queen beds and a full bath upstairs include 2 oceanfront rooms with a private deck. 5 flat-screen Roku smart TVs allow the family to chill out on those rainy day breaks or curl up for a night in watching a family favorite. Stainless steel appliances, granite countertops with custom backsplash, and luxury vinyl plank throughout complement the beautiful beach views you will find from every room. The oceanfront decks offer a table and 4 chairs for dining as well as ample seating to lounge in the sun or to read a good book. We offer an under house 12 x 14 patio for grilling and entertaining which includes a gas grill, picnic table, patio chairs and family games. If you choose you are only 2 blocks from the sound where you can launch paddleboards and kayaks for a day of paddling or fishing adventure. You can launch boats or jet skis from several near by public ramps.

This home is on North Carolina's Crystal Coast along the laid-back Southern Outer Banks. Emerald Isle is located on Bogue Banks, a beautiful barrier island separated from the mainland by a short bridge ride over the two-mile-wide unspoiled Bogue Sound.

Emerald Isle features many attractions such as a water slide, miniature golf, jet ski, water sports equipment rentals, shopping, fishing adventures, hiking and disk golf parks. Golf cart and bike rentals, boating, fishing, sea kayaking, golf, and great restaurants are just minutes away. Each summer the town hosts free weekly music events. The historic and charming towns of Swansboro, Morehead City, and Beaufort with their additional restaurants and amenities are all just a short ride away. In Beaufort, you can take a short ferry ride to Shackleford Banks, an unoccupied and unspoiled barrier island populated by 130 wild ponies, for a fantastic hiking tour or picnic lunch.

Please note:
Linens and towels are included in your package. The home is cleaned and disinfected each stay between guests. Bed coverings may differ from pictures shown to allow for cleaning.

Our host responded quickly to our queries and concerns, the house was clean, the upper deck a heavenly retreat in the evening, lovely beach access. One bonus: beds already made; after a 5-hour drive and schlepping everything upstairs into the house, we found that so welcoming! We oldies had a wonderful time!

A wonderful location. Right on the beach. All the rooms were clean except the downstairs bathroom that had a musty smell and some mold on the ceiling. Told the owner and he said he would have it taken care of. Besides that, a very comfortable and convenient place to stay. 2 miles from a Dollar General if you need something.

Very well maintained and updated home right on the beach. Everything worked! Unbeatable views from the bedroom deck upstairs, or just from the upstairs bed itself. Although the cottage had way more room than we needed, every bedroom had plenty of room to maneuver and plenty of storage in dressers and hanging in closets. If I HAD to pick one thing that could use a little improvement, it would be that the knives could use a refresh. But that's just me being nit-picky. My wife and I enjoyed our stay very much and agreed that it was our favorite place we've stayed at the beach in the last 5 years (as long as we've been married). I thank the owners and managers for keeping this house up as well as they have, and for making our stay there very easy and enjoyable.

Perfect for women's getaway!

The space was just right for 4 women. All the rooms were a nice size and each had queen sized beds that were very comfortable. The living area was cozy, the outside deck was fabulous! We especially appreciated being so close to the beach and the way the dune directly behind the house blocked the view of people on the beach, while providing an amazing ocean view. We would definitely rent again!

Emerald Isle Surprise birthday party

My former work colleagues got together to surprise our former boss for his 80th birthday. He now lives in the Swansboro area. We drove from West Virginia for this event and it was perfect. Our condo was great! Right on the ocean, clean, comfortable, and close to his house. We enjoyed touring Emerald Isle and the adjoining communities. Great restaurants and shopping. People were very nice everywhere we went. Beautiful area! Enjoyed Fort Macon and the firing of the canons!!!!

Clean and right on the beach!

We were very pleased with the newly renovated home! Perfectly oceanfront and just steps from the beach! The bathrooms were very clean, bedrooms were nice and had plenty of space, new mattresses, and large closets. We were surprised how much room we had for it being a smaller unit. The seating in the living room, kitchen area and porch were very comfortable and accommodated our group of 8. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, griddle, toaster, and Kuerig. The only thing I would suggest is more hooks in the bathroom and on the deck for wet towels, and mirrors in the bedrooms would be helpful for the ladies. Thanks for the great stay!

Great upper & lower decks, very close to ocean

Classic beach house! Simply but comfortably furnished, with mattresses varying from firm to extra soft (something for everybody). Lots of TVs that we didn't use but also cards & games that we did. Good internetThe kitchen had what we needed, plenty of dishes & flatware, decent assortment of pots and pans. As with most places, it might be useful to bring your own nonstick skillet and a sharp knife. Appreciated that there was a regular coffee maker in addition to the Keurig. Nice to have an ice maker in the fridge, to! Loved the 2 ocean view upstairs bedrooms with doors out to the upper deck, appreciated that the decks connected with an outside stairway. Adirondack chairs on upper and lower decks are wonderful, but I spent even more time sitting in one of the tall chairs on the upper deck. Currently, the primary dune is high enough to barely block the view of the sand (but not the water) from the first level, so the best views are from the upper deck. Loved being so close to the ocean, closer than any place we've stayed! The boardwalk was really short, ending just before the small primary dune, which might be a challenge if you have a bad knee (I just had mine replaced & was fine). Surf fishing was meh, but that's been par for the course lately for us, even in spring. Captain Willis supplied us with excellent shrimp, and we also went to Swansboro one night for outstanding BBQ, fried oysters, and hush puppies at the Bogue House. We'd stay here again & again!

cozy, and just steps away from the beach

We are long time visitors to Emerald Isle, but have not stayed up where is this house is located. We loved it up there! This house is just steps from the beach and it is not overcrowded in this area of the beach. We really enjoyed the water, the sand, the sunset, and the ability to spread out a little for the kids to run around. The house is simple and cozy. It has been renovated so it is more modern than some beach houses. It could still use a little more work, one of the upstairs sliding glass doors doesn't work, and the sliding door on the main floor that leads to the porch was pretty tough to use. You needed a little extra pull. The porch is great. It is two levels, which is wonderful for viewing the goings on down there on the sand. The kitchen was fairly stocked with tools and pans. Neill, the owner was available easily. The cleaning crew was running late due to low staff, so when we arrived the house hadn't been cleaned yet. But Neill was helpful and the cleaning crew was friendly, worked hard and quickly. We just went down to the beach and put our feet in the water and visited on the porch while we waited. And when we discovered there weren't extra sheets for the pull-out sofa, Neill was right on it and had some delivered for us. We would stay there again!!

We stayed in October during the off season and had a wonderful stay. The neighborhood was quiet and the weather was incredibly beautiful. We loved sitting on the lower and upper decks, both of which have wonderful ocean views. The pelicans and sea gulls privided constant entertainment and we saw porpoise just beyond the breaking waves on our last full day. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Neill McLeod

Host profile image
We are natives of Raleigh NC and purchased this house in 2015. We have remodeled it completely inside and out to ensure the smallest detail was considered. We are continuously looking for ways to improve the beach experience, ensuring every decision made compliments the last. Our goal is to make this house feel like a home. We hope you love it as much as we do and provide us a 5-star review. Thanks for considering our beach home for your next vacation destination.

Why they chose this property

Simple, oceanfront with all the amenities you would expect. We have been traveling to the NC coast all our lives. Before purchasing this property, we had vacationed in Emerald Isle for 4+ years. Once we decided to buy a place at the beach, we took a long weekend trip over Thanksgiving and traveled the entire coastline between Atlantic Beach and Sunset Beach. The goal of the 3-day long adventure was to try and "rule out" Emerald Isle as a purchase destination. However, (as we suspected it would) the trip RULED OUT ALL OTHER BEACHES. There is nothing that can compare to the emerald waters and the east-west layout of the island. Where else can you see the sunrise and sunset on the same day right from your deck or balcony? We hope you find as much peace as we do in Emerald Isle.

What makes this property unique

The home offers a covered oceanfront deck from the 1st-floor living area and oceanfront decks off the two upstairs bedrooms which are conveniently joined by ocean front stairs. The patio under the house provides a private setting to relax and grill your daily meals. The under-house hammock offers the quiet opportunity to read a good book or a place to take a lazy afternoon nap to recover from the morning fishing excursion. We provide ring toss, giant jenga, bocce, and corn hole for your outdoor enjoyment.
