Looking for a restful vacation, with just enough to keep the family entertained, but not be overwhelmed with hordes and traffic? Located on a peaceful island, just off the North Carolina Coast, this comfortable, 3 bedroom, 4 bath home is over 2300 square feet.
This home has 2 unique features - it is sound front with a private walkway through the woods to the private pier into the sound - ideal for fishing, swimming, kayaking, safe for kids! no competition from other folks! and it has 2 separate living areas - the top (3rd) floor is the main living area (more details to come!) while the ground floor is a great room with queen futon and dressers, and living area with couch, loveseat, entertainment center, full bath,(when folks need a little space, or peaceful, or you have teens or a couple who would like a little privacy)
A few more details -The top (3rd!) floor is the main living area, opening onto a sound front deck, with Adirondack chairs, and a grille. (and spectacular vistas!) The interior includes an open space kitchen, counter bar with 4 seats, dining area that seats 8, a full bath, and 2 separate seating areas! The main seating area includes traditional seating (couch, 2 side chairs), a enormous screen LG intelligent TV - (there is Spectrum internet to operate TV's, games, etc.). Off to the side, also facing the sound, is a reading/sleeping area. It has a queen sized sleeper futon, and 2 comfortable chairs and a bookshelf - (this is a public space and offers NO privacy - ideal for teens or kids, or the early riser in the family).
The kitchen is equipped with all standard appliances and dishes/silverware, pots and pans for feeding your crowd. You will also find enough basics - paper towels, TP, paper plates/cups, dish soap, laundry soap, coffee, sugar, etc -(you get the picture!) so you don't need to dash off to the store.
The middle floor has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. - complete with towels and clean linens! All bedrooms come with flatscreen TV's with Roku/internet access. (Please use your own credentials for specialty TV channels) The master has a queen sized bed and a 4 piece, ensuite, with jetted tub and 5 foot shower! The 2nd bedroom also has a queen sized bed. Both open onto the middle sound side deck with outdoor seating. The 3rd bedroom has a bunk with a "full" sized bottom and a single upper. These bedrooms 2 and 3 share a nice sized full bath. The washer and dryer are on this floor for handy access.
The ground floor can be used nearly as a separate suite. It has a queen sized sleeper futon, a full bath, and a separate TV/living area with couch and loveseat, as well as access to the backyard. It has interior stairs to the top 2 floors but if needed, the other floors can be accessed by the outside decks..
The home's private pier leads to the sound for fishing, clamming, sailing. It is a little shallow for bigger speedboats, except at high tide,. (We do NOT provide any recreational cars......) There is a local marina just 1 mile away in Salter Path (Indian Beach) where you launch water cars....and a rental place less than 2 miles away.
And there's more!....Entertainment!
The ocean/beach access is just 3 tenths of a mile away in Salter Path. It is recommended that folks with modest kids drive and make the 3 min. trip with toys, chairs, etc. since it is on the main road. It is a well-kept secret, because even on holiday weekends, it is painless to find parking and a 'spot' on the beach with some space to spread out your towels, and family - no "elbow to elbow", listening to someone else's music. It has outside showers, bathrooms, and grilles, and a good number of parking spaces, many of which are shaded. The beach is wide and sandy, and the water has a gradual slope out, providing tons of safe places to swim and skim board. (The home has an outside shower with hot and cold water to rinse off sandy feet.)
The North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is just 2 miles away and provides marvelous viewing, touch tanks, nature trails, as well as programs for all age levels!
A modest amusement park and 2 theaters are within a few mins. drive and provide change of pace activities when you a need a break from the sun, sea and salt. There also golf courses -https://www.emeraldislerealty.com/blog/top-emerald-isle-nc-area-golf-courses
Everything you would need for a peaceful vacation is less than 15 mins. away
Morehead City, Cape Carteret, and Beaufort are modest close by (less than 20 miles!) towns with tons of appeal, as well as art galleries, local museums, antique stores and fresh shopping. New Bern, NC - the first NC state capital- is 45 mins. away and has a real castle, and many historic amenities.
We do not wish to be rude or unwelcoming, but.....
WE DO NOT RENT TO GROUPS OF UNRELATED FOLKS.
