This vacation home places you next to Emerald Isle Beach and within a 10-minute walk of Emerald Isle Woods Park. The vacation home includes a kitchen, a patio, and a sofa bed.
Completely renovated and newly furnished in 2024, oceanfront Emerald Isle Escape makes it easy to relax and enjoy the beautiful, pristine beaches and crystal clear waters of Emerald Isle, one of the least crowded beaches in the Southeast. Enjoy the ocean air and views from the outside decks of this oceanfront 5-bedroom, 4-bath west-side duplex, or take a few steps down the sloping, private boardwalk, and you'll be on the sand!
The entry floor has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a laundry area. The spacious oceanfront master suite has a king bed with storage, a large dresser and mirror, two bedside tables, a sitting chair, a closet, and a Smart TV. There is a slider to the deck and outside seating for four to listen to the waves and enjoy the stunning ocean views. The well-lit master bathroom has an oversized, single-bowl sink with plenty of storage and an additional shelving area to the left of the shower for towels and extras. The shower has two glass shelves for your supplies and a handheld showerhead.
The oceanfront queen bedroom on this floor has a queen-size storage bed, two bedside tables, a tall, narrow chest of drawers, and a Smart TV. There is room in the closet to store your suitcases but no hanging area because it's under the stairs. The slider in this room leads to the deck with outside seating and is shared with the master. The double bunk bedroom on this floor is perfect for families or extra guests; it is located on the roadside of the house and has a large chest of drawers, a bedside table, a Smart TV, and a closet. There is also a pack-n-play in the closet.
The second bathroom on this floor for the queen and bunk rooms is well-lit and has some storage space to the right of the shower and under the vanity. It has a handheld showerhead and a curtain instead of a shower door to accommodate giving kids baths. The laundry area has a large capacity washer and dryer. There are some laundry baskets, a Shark vacuum, a mop/broom, and an iron and ironing board if needed.
Up the stairs to the third floor, you'll find an open floor plan with the main living area, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, a queen bedroom, and a bathroom with a large, tiled shower. Enjoy ocean views from the sofas, dining, or kitchen, or open the slider and step out onto the deck to feel the breeze while you relax. There’s an outside table with four Adirondack chairs and two additional bar-height Adirondack chairs to enjoy the outdoor space.
The living room area has seating for 12 with two oversized sofas, two oversized chairs with large ottomans, an adjustable height coffee table, three end tables, and a 65" Smart TV with surround sound. The furniture is really comfortable, and it’s a big enough space to hang out when you’re in from the beach.
The dining table is bar height and seats 6. The oversized bar has seating for 4 more and a lot of serving or workspace. The kitchen is fully equipped with serve and cookware and has a Keurig, blender, griddle, and toaster oven combo & toaster in addition to the new frig/freezer with water and ice maker, sink disposal, dishwasher, microwave, and cooktop/oven. The kitchen has plenty of storage, and there's also a small pantry closet right off the kitchen.
The queen bedroom on this floor has a queen storage bed, a chest of drawers, a bedside table, a closet, and a Smart TV. It does not have an ocean view, but it's the only bedroom on this floor and will use the bathroom with the largest shower. The bathroom on this floor has a large tiled shower with seating and two shelves.
Back down to the first floor, you'll find a large master suite with a living area and a full bath with shower. You do have to go outside of the house to get to this room, but it is a nice, big room. Inside this separate entrance master suite, there's a king-size storage bed, a large dresser with a mirror, and two bedside tables, but it does not have a closet. There's also a comfortable sectional that pulls out into a full-size bed, a coffee table, and a 55" Smart TV. The bathroom for this suite has a shower with a small seat and a handheld showerhead. This suite is perfect for when couples and families vacation together since it adds an extra inside living area and privacy. This suite has a private patio by the dunes with seating for two and a hammock, and the outside shower for the home is located to the right on the side of the house. The outside shower has hot and cold water, a rain head, a regular head, a foot wash, and a hose connection to wash you and your beach gear off.
Emerald Isle Escape is the west side of the duplex only. It was completely gutted and renovated inside and out including the front porch and boardwalk to the beach in 2024, and we have done our best to make it as nice and comfortable for your vacation home as possible. We even added an extra water heater so when everyone heads off the beach at the same time to grab dinner at a local favorite, you shouldn't run out of hot water! Every room has a ceiling fan and Smart TV, and all three floors have separate A/C controls. Besides being just steps from the ocean and uncrowded beach, the location of Emerald Isle Escape is great because as soon as you come off the EI bridge onto the island, you get into the right lane out of traffic, turn at the very first light, and are here in just a few minutes. You should be able to park 7 cars in the driveway on our side of the duplex.
Please be mindful that, like all homes on EI, there are full-time residents and other vacationers around this rental. You should relax, let loose, and have a great time on vacation, but this is not a party house. Please enjoy yourself as we always have when we are on vacation, but be mindful that reckless or obnoxious behavior will not be tolerated. We hope you will make Emerald Isle Escape your vacation home and that it will be everything you want it to be with a pristine beach, warm sun, soft waves, a light breeze, and comfy accommodations. We sincerely hope you love and enjoy being here as much as we do!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Great Stay
Location was amazing. Size of house was just right. We had a great time. Could use more bath towels and toilet paper. Kitchen could’ve used more dish soap paper towels. The bottom level was great but since it doesn’t have enclosed access to the house maybe consider adding a mini fridge, coffee pot and maybe a microwave. There was a strange smell that you got use to once you were in there but very noticeable each time you entered.

Great beach spot / clean home /bring own toiletries
Great location with boardwalk right to sand. The house was clean, nice furniture, and large enough for our group. Robin was really helpful, and even took time to help me juggle some rebooking trouble. We would have liked a bit more stock in the kitchen (peeler/wine glasses/cutting board etc). Also, make sure you bring your own shower soap and laundry soap. Everyone liked the place and we would stay again.

SPECTACULAR!!
Our VRBO host was very responsive every time I had any questions! The house was super clean and was exactly as described! The sunsets and sunrises from the walkway right in front of the house were gorgeous! Easy access to the beach! There are plenty of areas to sit and relax and enjoy the beach life. We will definitely be gong back to stay here. It was a beautiful place and a wonderful stay! I highly recommend!
