About this property
Oceanfront very private 4-bed house @ condo cost. Step off deck to beach. Views!
Welcome to "Best Life". See our 100+ five star reviews on VRBO over 10 years. Most of our bookings are return guests - that tells you everything you need to know. This is a very clean, well maintained and fully furnished OCEAN FRONT home - not a condo - in beautiful Emerald Isle, NC. It has a full-on ocean view from the deck, bedrooms and the living room, not partial views and not over the street or rooftops. It is the private half of a duplex. The other side of the duplex is not a rental; it is someone's rarely used second home, so you will not have any crazy or noisy neighbors, parties or big groups next door. The kitchen and baths were completely renovated in 2023; see photos! You''re likely to see dolphins frolicking in the ocean. Unlike staying in a condo complex, you'll have privacy and no worries about noise, sharing the deck or annoying neighbors. No dogs. Perfect for families with children. The house is close to a lifeguard station on the beach.
There is a gentle set of stairs from deck to beach, not the 50 or 60 steps to get to the houses that sit high up on the dunes. The house has everything you'll need and the kitchen is fully equipped (even a spare blender, coffee maker & toaster). There is a Kuerig coffee machine with pot and pod capability. We provide starter supplies upon your arrival (soap, paper towels, t.p.). ALL of the bedding in the house is newer premium gel memory foam 12" mattresses with thick zippered bed-sacks.
This house is an excellent value and has everything you'll need for a restful stress-free vacation at the beach. The manager is local and the owner is always available. Note the built-in benches on the deck near the ocean. The bathrooms have gorgeous tile - not cheap fibreglass. The sliding doors are new (2024) quiet easy to use and lock Pella units. As you can see from all of our photos, we strive to make this a comfortable and tastefully 'beachy' home. Among the features of this property are Spectrum cable, STRONG wireless internet (to the deck +), newer central air unit, ceiling fans in every room, 4 flat-screen HD-TV's (55" in living room and 40" in 3 bedrooms with Roku access to premium channels), and custom hand-painted tropical murals in each bedroom. It's NOT cheap thin, uncomfortable rattan / boxy / IKEA furniture, nor is it used furniture from Grandma's house. We want you to relax and be comfortable! Call owner AL directly at nine seven three four seven six eight one nine one with any questions.
There are 2 ocean-front master bedrooms (1 K & 1 Q) and 2 bedrooms street side (partial Intercoastal / Sound view) with doubles and singles. There are 2 full tiled baths and a wonderful outdoor enclosed over-sized locking private shower that was renovated in 2024 with hot and cold water and a dressing area. (Great for children or a quick refreshing rinse after coming off the beach.) The deck has a convenient hose for sandy feet.
There are lifeguards on the beach within sight just a short stroll away (April - Sept.). This house is ON THE BEACH with the same ocean, views, and ease of access as the mansions that cost 3 or 4 times as much. We provide beach chairs, beach umbrella, toys, as well as beach games. We appreciate your inquiry for any questions and thank you for your time and for considering "Best Life"! E-mail or call if you have any questions or need any additional information. Best wishes for a great Emerald Isle vacation!

About the host
Hosted by Alan

Concerned, professional and responsive property owner who has owned this property for 20+ years. You'll have my cell # and I'm always available. Plus, there a knowledgable and dedicated local private property manager and cleaner who are available to you during your stay. We check before you arrive to make sure everything is perfect.
Why they chose this property
We considered a beach house in several coastal communities in different states before falling in love with Emerald Isle on our first visit in fall, 2001. Emerald Isle has been consistently voted "Best NC Beach" by USA Today and other media. We immediately knew that the small town village feel, absence of high-rise condos, great vacation amenities, local friendliness, family emphasis, lack of traffic and gorgeous uncrowded beaches made this the place we wanted to visit again and again. It's still the same 20+ years later. We still enjoy it and you will too!
What makes this property unique
One of our favorite activities is simply to eat most meals on the deck and watch the ocean, the dolphins, people enjoying the beach, and the sunrises and sunsets over the water. There have been a number of weddings on the beach right in front of this home. Some folks see whales just off-shore in the late fall. We have had turtle nests on the beach right in front of the home too. It is fascinating to watch them hatch!
