You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Summer Shade- Your relaxing family retreat steps from both the beach and sound.

Welcome to Summer Shade. Enjoy your perfect home base for beach days, sound side sunsets, and easy coastal living! Centrally located between the beach and the sound, on one of Emerald Isle's best kept secrets, a quiet shady street lined with live oaks. This bright and spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is ideal for families and friends looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of seaside fun.

Step inside to find an inviting open layout with cozy living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, and a dining area perfect for shared meals. Each bedroom features comfortable beds and fresh, airy décor designed for restful nights after a day in the sun. A washer and dryer are available for your convenience during your stay.

When it is time to settle in you will find two comfortable queen beds in each of two bedrooms, and a third bedroom with a twin and bunkbeds, for additional sleeping needs there is a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Pack N Play is provided if needed.

Outside, the charm continues. Relax or dine on the large deck, grill up your favorite meal on the gas grill, or unwind in the shady backyard under the trees. Kids (and kids-at-heart) will love the tree swing, while everyone can rinse off the sand in the outdoor hot/cold shower after a beach day. Anglers will appreciate the fish cleaning station for their daily catch.

Bring your kayaks, paddle boards, or boats for quick and easy access at the boat ramp just a short stroll down the block. Cast a line or net from the sound access at either 11th or 13th street access.

For rainy days or evening fun, head to the basement for a little friendly competition—enjoy ping pong, air hockey, corn hole, or foosball in the game area.

Whether you’re starting your morning with coffee on the deck or ending your day with a sunset stroll, you’ll find everything you need for a relaxing and memorable stay.

Book your stay at Summer Shade today — where every day feels like vacation!

Great place within walking distance of both sea and sound. Great cozy spot with a nice downstairs game room. Host was responsive and easy to communicate with. Only feedback I’d give is beds are not the best for support/noise- perfect otherwise!

The house was spacious, clean and well stocked. It was also very easy to get to the beach. The host was very attentive during our check in. We can’t wait to go back! Probably our favorite vrbo ever!
