Our house is located at the secluded western end of the island known as 'The Point'. It is a 4-bedroom, 3.5 bath home on a corner lot. with hardwood, tile and carpeted floors, Anderson windows, four Covered Decks (2 upper decks with Porch Furniture, front lower deck with 2 porch swings). Directv with high speed internet access. The double carport on the ground level is deep enough to accommodate four cars. On the rear of the house, under the lower deck, there is a tiled patio with a swing and patio furniture, and 4-burner gas grill. It is a great place to relax while watching others play 'kick-the-can' or while preparing the 'daily catch' on the grill. Adjacent to the patio is a private, enclosed hot/cold shower with an enclosed changing area. After a day at the beach, this is a stop that shouldn't be missed. At the front of the lower level, the door opens to the foyer, with french doors left and right leading to identical master bedrooms. Each has a king bed, a full bath, a large walk-in closet, a TV and Roku. Each is perfect for a quiet retreat after a busy day or simply for a quiet night's sleep. Beyond the foyer, though another set of french doors, is a large 20' X 14' living area with 52' LCD SONY TV and Roku. A third bedroom has a queen bed, double closet and a Smart TV. A fourth bedroom has 2 twin beds, a double closet and a TV and DVD player. These two bedrooms share a tiled bath across from which is the laundry area with a washer and new dryer. The cabinets include cleaning products and light bulbs. Blankets and extra pillows are provided in each bedroom. One of the main attractions is the upper level with its open floor plan. Vacations are for gatherings and conversations and laughs and this allows everyone to share some time together. At the top of the stairs is a dining table that seats eight. Across the room is a very well-equipped kitchen and pantry separated from the 8 seat square dining table by a breakfast bar and eight bar chairs. For those who have been guests before, you will recognize this as the site of our annual 'pancake eating contest'. The kitchen has a Keirug and Mr. Coffee maker, crock pot, large pot for low country boil, many serving dishes and lots of utensils and cookware, electric grill pan, blender, and old-fashioned milkshake blender, toaster oven with air fryer, waffle iron, electric mixer, tea kettle, spices and herbs, mini fridge in the pantry, placemats, microwave, and a double oven. In the front of the room is a sitting area with sofa and chairs that surround a tiled fireplace with gas logs (it is not useable), a 47' LCD SONY TV and Roku. Surround-sound stereophonic equipment with iPhone connection completes the set-up. On the front, sliding glass doors open onto a covered deck with porch furniture. It is from here that the spectacular views of sunrises and sunsets and the sweeping picture of ocean and inlet makes this one of my favorite spots. Another set of sliding glass doors open onto the back covered deck, also equipped with porch furniture. This is a particularly quit spot, protected from the ocean breeze, with views of the sound. We have taken advantage of this for a number of quiet, relaxing 'dinners under the stars'. Each deck is equipped with a table with 4 surrounding chairs for outside dining. There is a choice of access to the beaches. Go left to the walkway that will take you over the dunes or go right to the broad expanse of 'The Point'. Either way, you have open space enough for picnics, games and even a touch of solitude. Keywords: Second row house; corner lot, four quiet bedrooms on 1st floor with central family den, spacious well-equipped kitchen and dining area on 2nd floor with open floor plan for great vacation get-together. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Gas grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the marina ### Things to do - Water park - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/65000000/64430000/64429100/64429002/5a611789.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanfront stunner in Emerald Isle Emerald Isle - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 90 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=64429002&PinnedHotelID=64429002&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18770000/18762500/18762439/b62c2c98.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanfront Home with Direct Beach Access & Stunning Views in Emerald Isle Emerald Isle - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 175 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=18762439&PinnedHotelID=18762439&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/48000000/47090000/47081900/47081898/16d6bdf8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Catalina Spectacular Oceanfront 4BR 4BA Duplex Addition & Major Renovation 2025 Emerald Isle - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 69 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=47081898&PinnedHotelID=47081898&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33500000/33497400/33497331/1b68ec33.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Keystone West West - Emerald Isle Paradise Emerald Isle - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 101 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=33497331&PinnedHotelID=33497331&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95080000/95071900/95071866/a1f3370a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 5+4 Heated Pool Home, Steps from Beach, Bonus Ground Floor Apartment Emerald Isle - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 48 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=95071866&PinnedHotelID=95071866&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107310000/107307500/107307427/fc0f6276.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fall Special - 15% off!

Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paula M. 7 May 2018 #### Best way to describe it - Perfect! I had the opportunity to organize a reunion with sisters and cousins that we refer to as a ya-ya gathering. The word that kept coming up to describe our stay was perfect. The house provided everything we could ask for and more. We spent most of our time on the porches with coffee or wine, or at the beach. Thank you for providing such quality beach chairs. This is an example of many of the details that are considered for a wonderful stay for guests. The overall experience has set the bar for future ya-ya gatherings. I can't wait to book the house to share and make memories with my immediate family. Thanks for the hospitality the quick responsiveness to all of my questions. ##### Paula M.

While this was our family's first stay at the Finnish Line, we hope it will not be our last. This property will not disappoint....it is wonderfully comfortable and beautifully decorated. The master bedrooms are large with sitting space for reading or watching TV. You will not feel crowded or disappointed in this home. The large, open plan, upper level incorporates the kitchen, dining and living spaces and will accommodate a large number of people. The kitchen is amazingly equipped and had everything needed for meal prep, from an instant read thermometer to a rolling pin and all the pots, pans, and baking sheets a non-vacation home would likely have. There are beautiful views of both the ocean and sound from the upper level front and back decks. During our stay, my husband spent many hours on the front upper deck reading and napping. We enjoyed drinks and appetizers on the front deck and made homemade ice cream on the back deck. It is clear the homeowners want your stay in their vacation home to be a positive experience. The property was immaculate and the owners quickly responded to any questions or concerns. ##### Alice T.

The beach at this end is large even at high tide. Even though the weather didn’t cooperate, we were able to get outside. There is a wonderful path, where I walked everyday, easily accessible for exercise and the men purchased a pass to drive on the beach with all their fishing gear. We are getting older so the unpacking is getting harder bc of the 2 flights of steps necessary to reach the kitchen and living area. The view from the porches is well worth it. ##### Martha B.

There are water views from all the porches which is so nice but it is a short walk to the beach. We had small children so next time we will rent a cart or two to pull all the supplies or even the kids. We will definitely stay here again. ##### Jan R.

This was our first time in Emerald Isle, and this house didn’t disappoint! If you love the beach, this home is for you: beautiful ocean views from the third floor deck with nice ocean breezes, sound views from back deck, plenty of outside space to enjoy including porch swings, close beach access, ceiling fans in every room, nicely and tastefully decorated…I could go on and on. We just returned home today, and I feel so relaxed. All the stress melted away as soon as I stepped inside the Finnish Line. Property owner was so nice and responsive, too! I would definitely recommend this home for some R&R! ##### Meg C.

Very clean and a well stocked kitchen. The en-suite rooms were great. The room with single beds was next to the hall bath but the room with the queen bed that shares the hall bath was inconveniently located for someone who needs to use the restroom during the night. ##### Martha B.

Perfect size for my family (3 adult children, spouse and 2 young grandchildren). The home looked as pictured and met all our expectations. The kitchen was was well stocked and all the beds were very comfortable. We loved sitting around the tables on the outside porches in the mornings for breakfast and evenings for happy hour. Three of the porches were set up with comfortable porch swings or rocking chairs. The ocean breeze and views made it an even more relaxing gathering spot. The location was perfect for a family with small children. Quick walk to the beach and short drive to grocery store and restaurants. We enjoyed walking back to the beach to watch the sunset. Make sure to bring your camera! The sunsets were spectacular. Our stay and vacation were both 5 Star. We would highly recommend this home! ##### Susan G.

It's perfect for our family of eight! We loved the many updates, both inside and outside, that made the home feel so welcoming. As always, the house was spotless and immaculate. The kitchen was well stocked, even with a large enough pot to make our family beach favorite- Frogmore Stew. The location is perfect, with a short walk to the beach, breathtaking views and lots of bike riding routes. The owners were incredibly accommodating and made us feel like family. We appreciate them sharing their beautiful home with us and we are already looking forward to our next visit. ##### Rhonda T.

The response I received from the property management company was "well you're early". It was 2:45 (3:00 official check in time) and the owner had told us we were good to go and given us the code. A very nice woman and young man arrived to clean about 20 minutes later as an emergency crew. They spent about an hour and were very apologetic. They tried their best but there were still dirty sheets left on one of the beds, hair on the bathroom floors and overall it felt rushed and unclean all week. I had tried to contact the owner through VRBO but messages never went through- I assume they turned that feature off so property management could handle issues. Disappointing start to our trip but the location was lovely. ##### Andy R.

The house is spacious, clean, and situated in the perfect spot where the ocean meets the sound. ##### Sandra T.
