OUR HOME RENTS MAY 25TH THRU AUGUST 31ST 2025 SUNDAY TO SUNDAY ONLY.

My wife and I invite you to view our home and hopefully make it your summer stay. Our home is in fantastic location, set back from the street and surrounded by mature trees giving a private feel, but only a short walk to the beach. The land mass here is not very wide, only 5 rows of houses from the beach to the main road and 1 row to the sound. That means there is no rush to get to the beach, sleep in; plenty time to find a great spot. The beach is large and most days the water has a glistening emerald glow. Also, a new beach access was built in 2017 and located close to the house. Our home features a spacious and open reverse floor plan with ceilings vaulted eleven feet. New for this year is all three bathrooms have been upgraded with vanities, counter tops, water fixtures, led lighting and toilets. The master bath also has a new enlarged shower. The living room has new reclining couches and the 1st floor entry has all new led lighting fixtures. Lastly the top deck is now finished with composite railing and decking. The top deck is now bare feet friendly and just a great spot to hang out The kitchen is roomy and fully stocked with everything needed to whip up a great meal, while watching the waves. There is seating for six at the kitchen peninsula. The main feature of the dining area is a handmade reclaimed wood table, that seats six comfortably and still have a nice view of the ocean.. After dinner hit the couches, relax and watch some TV. This year we replaced all the tv's with Samsung Smart TVs. They all have HULU loaded and now you have the ability to watch your favorite steaming service. Better yet, grab a drink and step out onto the deck and just relax, watch the waves and listen to that ocean. Also on this level are a half bath and a large pantry. The 3 bedrooms are located on the first floor. We have a master with a king size bed, memory foam mattress, attached bath, large closet and a wall mounted 55 inch flat screen TV . This room has access to the first floor deck. Second bedroom features a queen size bed ,memory foam mattress, large closet and a new wall mounted 32 inch flat screen TV. This room also has access to the first floor deck. The third bedroom has 2 twin beds, a small closet and a new wall mounted 32 inch flat screen TV. All the bedrooms feature ceiling fans. The main entry is on the ground level. As you enter the house you come into a laundry area/catch all, great place to drop all the beach gear. One flight up and you're on the bedroom level. Outside we have a large private newly built outdoor shower with hot/cold water with Trex decking next to a nice seating area under the house. Also, we have a large picnic table and a new gas grille, great for a quick outdoor lunch. Anyone making a trip to the beach knows how valuable that packing space in the car is, so we have beach chairs and umbrellas for you to use. We have plenty of parking and all the exterior lighting is dusk to dawn, making it safer coming and going at night. We are located approximately 3 miles from the center of town, close enough to bike and explore. We are renting Sunday to Sunday. This year we added towels and linens into the booking fee, if you don't need them, let us know and they will be removed before you book. We try very hard to keep our place updated, clean and comfortable for our guest. Please read our reviews and feel free to contact Stephanie with any questions. Thanks for looking and we hope to hear from you. John & Steph

Mystic Sea Stay

As always, we enjoyed out stay at Mystic Sea. The house and location are great. However, due to the weather and incoming heavy rain, we decided to leave 2 days early. Look forward to returning next year.

Terrific rental on Emerald Isle

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mystic Sea. The house was very clean, short walk to beach, nice ocean views, terrific sunsets visible from top deck, lots of natural light especially on top level and well equipped. Owners were very good about communicating with us. We hope to stay there again!

Exceeded expectations!

Our family, ages 2 to adult, really enjoyed our stay. The house was steps from the beach, with a great view from the decks. The kitchen and all the rest of the house was very well-appointed, with everything we needed for our stay. Communication with the hosts, including check in and check out, was seamless and when the air went out they had someone at the house immediately. This was our first stay at Emerald Isle (we typically vacation at other beaches), and it was a wonderful spot!

Consistently Excellent!

We've stayed at Mystic Sea several times over the past few years, and always come away wonderfully relaxed and consistently impressed with all aspects of our stay. Stephanie and John's beach house is beautifully maintained with everything needed for a wonderful week away, and they are incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions we have. We will definitely return!

Mystic Sea has been our "go to" destination for the past several years. We look no further when planning our beach vacation. Every year the owners outdo themselves in making the stay of every guest a memorable experience. Their attention to detail is without equal!

Loved this house!!

We loved everything about this property. From the cleanliness to the layout. The owners were wonderful to work with, they responded very quickly to any request or questions we had. It is not directly on the beach (about a block walk distance), but you can see and hear the ocean from the upper balcony. We would definitely stay at this property again!

Wonderful Time!

Our last minute vacation to the NC shore was spectacular because of this place! The house was exceptional! The location was perfectly situated near the boardwalk to the beach. The beach was wonderful, not crowded whatsoever. Communication with the hosts was great, they answered all questions almost immediately. Everything about our short stay was PERFECT. Highly rated, would absolutely stay again!!

Every year the owners go above and beyond to make their visitor’s stay more enjoyable. The house is always immaculate. We are blown away with the improvements that have been made. This year it was remodeled bathrooms and a new deck. There’s a reason we’ve stayed 5 straight years. We will never look anywhere else.

Beach family vacation July 2022

Long-awaited family vacation with four of our adult children. We thoroughly enjoyed and felt at home at this well-appointed, well-located (only 7 minute walk to beach access) retreat. The beach accessories, kitchenware and linen service made our travel logistics easy to manage. John and Stephanie provided clear instructions, and addressed our questions with practically no delay. Decks gave view of the surf with privacy. So peaceful in the morning! Highly recommend this location for families looking for an opportunity to reconnect.

Very clean, great views and short walk to beach

It was a breeze for check-in, it was very clean. Comfortable, the views were great and the beach was only a 3 minute walk away. Beach chairs provided were nice. New appliances, kitchen was very clean. The only caution for those looking at places is this would not be a place for anyone with bad knees or elderly, as you need a flight of steps to bedrooms and then another flight to drop off groceries, kitchen is on top floor. (but you have views of the ocean in the living room) Overall one of the nicest places we have stayed.
