Seven of us who all work together so enjoyed this home! Especially sitting out on the back deck just listening to the ocean. It was very clean, the beds slept great, we literally wanted for nothing except wishing we could have stayed longer!

About the host

Hosted by Justin Highley

Host profile image
My wife Missy and I love the ocean and owning a beach house has long been a dream of ours - we are excited to share that dream with you and your families. We love sitting on one of the many decks, grabbing a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the late afternoon while watching the dolphins as they make their way up the coast. This is our home away from home and we look forward to many days on the beach with our children.

Why they chose this property

On our first visit to Emerald Isle we fell in love - with the beaches, the people, and the family-friendly atmosphere. Emerald Isle is a south facing beach, offering views of beautiful sunrises in the morning and sunsets in the evening. It is a gorgeous place to be year round and was voted the best beach in North Carolina by USA Today in 2018.

This property is a duplex and has a private deck and a private walkway to the beach, not shared with the other half of the duplex. If you are looking for a place right on the beach that is comfortable and family oriented, you have found it!

What makes this property unique

We have a keyless door entry system for easy access (no keys to lose!). Full linen/towel service included in rates, and beds will be made.
