Escape to my affordable oceanfront duplex that has stunning oceanfront views. Since I became sole owner of the East side of my duplex I have been doing updates every year. I have had almost the entire duplex painted from a tired yellow to soothing blue tones. I have put in new appliances, furniture, granite counter tops, resurfaced the tubs, put in a kitchen tiled backsplash, added LED lighting in the kitchen and under the countertops, changed out light fixtures in bathrooms, put in new vanities, put in a new air compressor, and many other updates. This year an addition has been started to add another bathroom so the house will a 4 bedroom 4 bathroom duplex. The contractors are also building a new laundry upstairs in the house. The addition is expected to be completed mid April.

The home has a bright, airy, cottage feel and is a perfect place to relax. Admire the view from the inside or step outside onto the covered porch to catch an oceanfront breeze sitting in one of the 4 rocking chairs on the deck. There is also a dune landing steps from the beach with a bench and more outstanding views. Due to Emerald Isle's restricted off street parking the beautiful beaches are never crowded.

Amenities also include hi-speed wireless service, outdoor shower and washer/dryer. There will access to two washer and dryers. The one inside the house as well as a shared one downstairs under the main living area.

Additional Information: Emerald Isle's unique location affords homes on the island both beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Our home is located at the end of a no-through street so there is no traffic. The house is located minutes from restaurants, shopping, golf, kayaking, movie theaters, fishing, biking, water slide parks, pickleball, tennis, basketball courts, an aquarium and many other activities. Other interests in the area include visits to historic Beaufort, Fort Macon, Swansboro, 1/2 or full day trips to Hammocks Beach State Park or Cape Look Out. (Both of these islands do not have any homes or commercial development and have great shelling.)

Rentals are Sunday-Sunday. There is a no smoking policy and no pets are allowed. You must be at least 25 years old to rent the property. Prices listed are for weekly rentals. Nightly rentals are available off season or last minute during prime season if a week opens up. Note: Rates are subject to change without notice until confirmed.

I am always happy to give my guests information on area restaurants and local spots to see.

Awesome Beach trip
Great beachfront location and gorgeous views.... beach is steps away from the property. Enjoyed the beach during the day and the stars in the night. The host, Debbie, was very responsive and super accommodating to our requests. The whole family enjoyed the stay and will likely book again in the future,

Great Beach House!
We loved our stay at Catalina. Great location, great ocean views. We rented both sides and having the inside door between them made all the difference--it felt like one big house. We loved sitting on the deck watching the ocean, and cooking meals in the well-stocked kitchen. The only improvements we'd recommend is better WiFi and dressers in the King bedrooms. We hope to return next year!

Fabulous view!
Great location. Very responsive and helpful owner. Nice to have some necessities provided so shopping could be deferred until convenient. Granddaughter loved the boogie board supplied. Space a bit tight when all beds occupied; a little more open shelving or storage would be helpful.

The Golf Battle at Swansboro 2019
7 northern Ohio golfers looking to escape to golf courses around Emerald Isle. The duplex served as the perfect base with beautiful ocean views and enough beds and baths for everyone. Debbie and Elly helped make it an enjoyable stress-free stay. We're already looking forward to the Golf Battle at Swansboro 2020. We all would highly recommend this duplex.

Beach Wedding
Our daughter got married at Emerald Isle, and our family stayed in this home. This was an amazing place (even better than the photos)! We loved our stay in this peaceful, quintessential beach house! We loved the comfy beds, the rocking chairs on the covered porches (such an amazing view), quiet street, beautiful private access to the beach, etc. This place was really so perfect that we were all so sad to leave. Great location, very clean, and had all the amenities you could ever need. Owners extremely friendly and prompt when responding to our email inquiries. We only wish we knew the owners, so that we could thank them personally for our wonderful stay!!

Visit Emerald Isle, Oceanfront
Communication was great with the owner. She was very quick to respond, never took more than 24 hours. The only negative of the whole trip was the AC was not working when we arrived. This was due to the drip pan being full. Once we reported it, she was quick to get an HVAC guy to the house. He drained the pan inside of 30 minutes and we were back in operation. The beautiful view of the ocean and beach access were as represented. The house is at the end of the street, so there is no through traffic. The house is not far from the local Food Lion, so getting food and supplies is very easy. The house is equipped with an outside shower for getting sand and salt off of clothes and swimwear. There is also a handy foot wash near the bottom of the stairs. Really enjoyed our stay. Would consider staying there again.

So Wonderful!
My family spent an amazing month at this beach house in July. The house is right on the beach, with spectacular views of the ocean from the open concept living room/kitchen/dining area. It's a very short walk from the deck, down a few stairs to the beautiful soft sand of the beach. This area of Emerald Isle was very quiet during our stay, which is just how we like it! Debbie, the owner of the house, was exceptionally easy to work with. She had lots of great suggestions on restaurants, local sights and activities for everyone in our group. She was incredibly responsive whenever we texted during our stay. There were beach chairs, boogie boards and toys provided for guests to use during their stay. There were plenty of linens and towels for each bedroom/bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked with pantry items and plenty of pots & pans for homemade meals. Our favorite fresh seafood market (Cap'n Willis Seafood Market) is only a mile down the road and has the best fresh fish and steamed crabs in the area. We put the kitchen to use most nights when we weren't dining at one of the restaurants in the area. After dinner we'd sit on the porch to watch the sunset and enjoy the beach view. Once it was dark we'd go back down to the beach to look for ghost crabs. We didn't turn on the TV once during our stay because there were just too many other things to do and we wanted to soak up as much of the beach as possible! We'd love to book this property again in the future!

Peaceful getaway
Views are amazing, both of the ocean and the stars. Saw a lot of dolphins over the week, nearly every day. On clear nights we could even see the milky way and some shooting stars. The beach is wide, beautiful and not crowded. The host was very gracious and friendly. Hope we can make it back soon.
