LOWEST-PRICED 4BR OCEANFRONT, with LARGEST POOL in Emerald Isle, Free Pool Heat
PLEASE CONTACT OWNER HERE 'BEFORE' SUBMITTING ANY RESERVATION REQUEST!
OWNER ALWAYS WANTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH ALL GUESTS 'BEFORE' GUEST CAN PROCEED TO A 'RESERVATION REQUEST'. OWNER WANTS TO BE SURE TO ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS FIRST. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! :-)
• LARGEST PRIVATE POOL on EMERALD ISLE!!! Pool measures 44' long x 16' wide. The Pool design has wide, shallow steps/entrance-way at both ends which makes it great for children and the elderly. It is 4 feet deep. It also has a floating rope that divides the pool down the middle so that you have your own side for privacy. Our Concrete Deck (surrounding the pool) is cool on the feet (unlike TREX Decking that other houses use which is too hot to walk on in bare feet in the summertime).
• Lowest-Priced Oceanfront Duplex on Emerald Isle,
• NO CHARGE for 'HOST FEE': Unlike the majority of Homeowners, we do NOT charge this ($150 to $450) fee!
• NO CHARGE for POOL HEATING: in May/June and Sept/Oct when heat is needed (Saves you over $550…because MOST houses in Emerald Isle charge $550 to $600 ‘additional’ for Pool Heating!!! We don’t!!!) (Pool Heater operable only when the air temperature is above 60 degrees...so the month of April is very iffy if the pool will be warm enough for swimming. That is why our ‘APRIL’ RATES are comparable to homes 'without' a pool). Pool heating is not at all necessary for the months of July/Aug. Click on "More Details" to expand this description....
• WIDE BEACH at high tide...unlike most other locations on the Island.
• MAX OCCUPANCY = 6 (no exceptions). We only Rent to Families.

We focus our expenditures on providing an AMAZING POOL with a clean comfortable interior, clean comfortable beds/mattresses, fresh linens and a nicely-stocked kitchen …all at a very competitive price.

Great house with plenty of room but the best part was definitely the pool and right on the beach. The pool was so lovely and plenty of room with the breeze coming off the ocean.
The location couldn't be better. Having both beachfront AND a huge pool is as good as it gets. Very airy main area with kitchen, dining room and living room as one large room with very high ceiling. The balcony has the most outstanding view of the beach and pool.
Location is outstanding, always nice to be ocean front.The pool and the dune walkover area are all great. The furnishings and some other things inside could stand some updating/refreshing. And the cleaning could have been a bit more thorough around things like dusting furniture.Overall we had a very enjoyable stay as the weather was great and you just can't beat being right no the beach with a nice pool.
Property is located in a good location. It is clean and can walk right onto the beach. House has a pool that is a great addition to the beach. Owner is great to work with. We had a great time.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The location of the property was great, even though we spent most of our time in the beautiful pool and sitting on the deck looking out at the ocean. The house was exactly as shown not fancy but very comfortable. The host was very gracious and attentive to our needs.
First time in Emerald Isle. We had perfect weather 5 out of 7 days. We spent most days on the beach or at the pool- perfect. Took a few road trips as well. Highly recommend Beaufort and Morehead. Lots of history, beauty and quaint shops. Recommend the aquarium as well. Dining wise, plenty of bars/grills but would definitely go to Table 9 on Rt 58 in Atlantic beach for an unforgettable dinner. Shopping - some great boutiques close by. The duplex was comfortable and you can’t beat the location! Don was very responsive and very friendly to work with
The home was clean. There was plenty of pots and pans and kitchen utensils. Pool was clean and a comfortable temperature. The view was beautiful. We will look into renting this home again.
Our group had a great time. Beach, location of house and pool was amazing. The house was a little outdated and needed a facelift. Owner responded quickly with any questions or concerns.
Enjoyed my stay so much!! It’s my happy place!!
Great house with pool and beach!! Who could ask for more.
The host was very gracious and patient!!
Looking forward to my next trip!!!
I cry when I have to leave!!!
Just really love my stay!!
Just loved are vacation. The house pool
and beach was great. House was clean as well as the pool. Location was fantastic could walk to shopping and restaurants!
Family already asking if we can go back and how soon.
Looking ahead to do it again. I think I found my spot on Emerald Isle!!!
This is our 6th time vacationing in Emerald Isle, but our first time at this property. The owner was very responsive and helpful. The house was clean and inviting. Was so excited that there was such a nice selection of puzzles and board games for our kids. The pool was the hit of the week- our kids lived in it! Very nice to have the option to go to beach or pool. Will definitely be returning!
My husband and I had a wonderful week at ShangriLa! The unit is exactly as shown, not fancy but very comfortable and well maintained. The owner was very easy to deal with and the check-in procedure very easy and clear. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking items. We enjoyed the easy walk to the beach and the heated swimming pool, although you should bring your own beach chairs.The unit is close to grocery stores and restaurants, so you don’t have to drive far if you need something. We certainly would love to stay at ShangriLa again.
This is the 3rd year in a row my family and friends stayed at the shangri-La and we are already looking to book for next year. The pool is huge and comes in extremely handy when you are done at the beach. You can’t beat the location, it’s right on the beach. You are literally overlooking the ocean while sitting on the deck. The house is more charming than updated, but it is very clean and comfortable. Don is always available and easy to deal with. We will continue to return for as long as Don will have us.
We were very happy with this rental and this host. Don was thorough in the check-in and check-out instructions. The pool was amazing, well maintained, and spacious. This house is comfy with a relaxed beach feeling. Wonderfully decorated. The kitchen is fully stocked. You can make a feast or a quick sandwich. Beds were comfortable. The quilts provided are just enough if you feel chilly in the night. Hoping to stay again some day! Thank you Don for providing the perfect house for this friends vacation.
We had a wonderful stay at Shangra La. We’ve stayed at this property three times now, and each visit has been fantastic. The view was incredible, and having the home located right on the beach made every moment feel serene and relaxing. The large picture window in the living room was one of our favorite features. It offered a beautiful view of the ocean and we could watch everything happening on the water. There was plenty of seating for everyone, and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped, and we appreciated having both a drip and pod coffee maker. The pool was clean and relaxing. There is also plenty of seating on the deck and at the pool. Our family especially loved being able to fish just steps from the house. The location is close to shopping and restaurants, yet peaceful enough to relax. The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. We even spotted deer and rabbits around the property while watching the sun rise.The owner communicated clearly. He was friendly, responsive, and easy to work with. We highly recommend Shangra La and will continue to come back.
My family vacation was absolutely wonderful staying at this location. We have rented this duplex several years and we do not plan to stay anywhere else. This 4 bedroom duplex is roomy and has a fully stock kitchen. The location is right on the ocean and has a heated pool. Also, this location is close to the pier, restaurants, fish market, CVS, Ace Hareware, Strip Mall, Publix, and Food Lion. This convenience gave us more time to relax and enjoy our vacation. It is really hard to leave this duplex but it gives my family something to look forward to for next year. It is definitely worth the money. I am so thankful I found this place to stay. Also, the host is super nice and wants your stay to be a great experience. He goes way and beyond to make your stay enjoyable.

About the host
Hosted by Don
Our family has been spending summer vacations on the East Coast since the very early 1900's when our Great Grandfather took my Grandfather as a boy down to the barrier Islands off the Eastern seaboard. Sadly, as much as all the older generations LOVED the shore, they were never able to afford to buy a house there. My Grandfather had the opportunity to 'buy' a lot on an Island for $200 in the early 1900's, but in his own words; 'that was too much money' back then...he couldn't afford it...he grew up in the great depression. We need to remind ourselves that we are a very blessed generation to have been able to finally buy a Beach House. It still took a lot of sacrifices and it is not easy, but we know it brings a lot of joy to a lot of people...not just us. We have a young 'special-needs' boy, and there is no greater feeling than watching his face when he is at the Beach! We are sure this will bring many fond memories to your Children... if you can simply put down the cell phone, computer and remote while you are here and just enjoy being with your family at the Ocean!
Why they chose this property
Our Father decided that since he was just a few more years away from being about to retire that he wanted to buy a house on the NC Coast and retire there. He visited the entire NC coast looking at real estate and he apparently fell in love with Emerald Isle because he singled it out and focused on the market there. Sadly, two weeks later after making his last trip there, he passed away...at the young age of 54. Many Years later, when I decided to buy a Beach house on the Oceanfront, I started taking trips to every Island and every town up and down the NC Coast. Upon doing so, there was no question that Emerald Isle was by far the prettiest Island in my opinion. It's natural beauty is everywhere you look. It has pristine beaches with very clean, warm water. The Ocean is shallow and great for children. The architecture on the Island is a mix of Sandcastles and small cottages. There is maritime forest with old curvy tall Live Oak tree's. There is fine dining, miles of bike paths, a wide beautiful Sound for boating and so much more.
What makes this property unique
Clean, warm, shallow Ocean water with expansive, pristine white sandy Beaches!!! Pure Nature at it's best!
The Island runs East to West allowing views of both the sunrises and sunsets.
