About the host
Hosted by Nicole Rhodes
We are Nicole and Mike Rhodes. Growing up in the "middle" states, Mike in Kentucky and Nicole in Montana, we didn't have much opportunity to experience the ocean. As adults currently working and living in Virginia with 3 grown children close by, we’ve fallen in love with the east coast beaches; particularly North Carolina. Each year we checked out different NC beaches looking for the best one for our family, with several of those visits to beautiful Emerald Isle. It has been a dream come true to buy Shorebreak, so close to the waves, and to be able to share it with our family, friends, and other beach lovers.
Why they chose this property
We recognized right away that Shorebreak was a special property. Its unique layout provides an oceanfront experience for smaller families and couples, especially for guests that aren't looking for a 4-6 bedroom house.
We are one of, if not THE closest house to the water. The sound of the surf fills the house day and night, and the blue/green of the water brightens every room in the house. You can't get any closer to the ocean unless you're in a boat.

What makes this property unique
We love how close the house is to the ocean and that it is perfect for smaller families. The 2019 renovation makes this beach cottage modern, fresh and super clean.
