About this property
Almost Ocean Front, 2nd Row, Great Ocean Views, Easy Beach Access, Quiet Street
This 2nd row beauty has it all! Great OCEAN VIEWS without the oceanfront rental prices! Beach access is easy and quick, right across the street. Over 2,000 square feet, on a quiet, non-busy street with a view of the ocean or Bogue sound from every single window in the house! Make this your 2nd home for a week (or two) and you'll never want to leave.
We want your family & friends to have a great experience and forget all of their worries while making great memories that will last a lifetime. Sound too good to be true or too much like a Hallmark card? Well, we aren't kidding!
Wake up every morning and walk directly out of your bedroom onto the deck and breathe in Emerald Isle's salty air. Hear the waves crashing on the beach. House has 4 bedrooms with three King beds and one Queen bed (all with deck/balcony access) plus a kids' loft/entertainment area on the 4th level with 4 twin beds. In the den you can even watch TV, look to your left and see the ocean... of course, that's just from the inside, wait until you step out onto the decks!
Beach access is literally steps away across the street with a wooden walkway leading directly to the surf. Families with young kids will enjoy this convenience by not having to walk far with all your beach supplies and stuff! You also have the convenience of our exhilarating outdoor shower with hot/cold water to wash off the beach sand and lotion.
Cook all of your favorite 'beach foods' in our fully equipped kitchen while looking at the emerald blue ocean. Then dine and entertain inside with family & friends while enjoying the great ocean views from the large eating area, or have your meals outside on the upper deck where the view and sounds of the ocean enhance the experience.
Watch schools of dolphins in the morning swim by & flocks of pelicans dive in for a snack in the afternoon. If you need some shade, head down to the lower level deck & relax on one of our lounge or rocking chairs. Of course, the decks have great views, but nothing can beat hanging out on the beach & swimming in the ocean. After a long day, enjoy our outdoor shower (w/ hot & cold water) and indulge in some great local seafood at one of many restaurants within minutes of the house. After the kids have gone to sleep, sneak back out on the deck and look at the moonlight shine over the water with a glass of your favorite beverage. Get the best sleep of your life (as long as you put on plenty of sunscreen) and wake up ready to do it all over again!
I hope some of these words have captured just a small picture of what it is like to vacation at Beach Retreat: East. We have posted lots of pictures but nothing compares to actually being here. We truly look forward to helping you and your family have an amazing 'Beach Retreat', so please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions, comments or concerns.

My family and I loved our stay! Easy access to the beach. Ample space for a large family to spend time together but also have space to relax alone. The top deck was wonderful to sit on with the cool ocean breeze and a pretty view!
This rental was perfect for our needs. Clean, just enough beds and baths for our family. Very close to the beach and easy to find. We would stay here again for sure.
This house is the perfect location for us. The new beds were very comfortable. Communication and cleanliness were both great. We definitely want to return!
Great location!! You can see the sound out one window and the ocean out the other! Walk out your front door and you are just across the street to the beach boardwalk!! Cute little Island with lots of great seafood!! Owner was very responsive and helpful! We would stay there again!! Always a nice breeze blowing! Nice wide beach!! Loved our time there!
Listing matched completely what we saw when we arrived. Has great views of the ocean with plenty of outdoor seating and east access to the beach. Large dining/living area. Kitchen was great with new fridge and all up to date appliances. Beds were large and comfy. TVs in almost all the bedrooms. Parking for our cars was spacious. Owner was great to work with and helpful.
The house was great, all the things you'd expect. Most importantly, the first row house between this house and the ocean is small and the public access point is right next to it, so this second row back from the ocean house felt just as good as first row in my opinion.
The location, the house, the beach, the HOUSE! Fabulous!
My sister, sister in law, 5 granddaughters (ages 10-15) and myself spent a wonderful week here.
We went to the beach (which was not over crowded even on July), visited the aquarium, rented a pontoon boat, but this is where we cooked and ate meals, played games and made memories, read books and talked.
The girls boogie-boarded and played in the surf almost every day. On the red-flag day (luckily Friday), we did a little packing but we still walked on the beach at night and then returned to sit on the deck.
This house was better than described: Clean! Stocked! Soft linens, even on sunburned bodies! Comfortable beds, and fining table to seat 10, plus 5 The location could not have been better. We sat on the ocean facing deck every night and read or just listened to the waves.
On July 4th, we saw great firework displays in every direction. It was exactly what we needed.
Sammy was awesome at communication and the perfect host.
We are already looking for the next dates to return!
Thank you
Great house, great layout, plenty of beds. We will definitely consider staying again if it’s available when we can go again. The property manager communicated very clearly and quickly.
The pictures do not do this vacation home justice!! It is beautiful!! Also, there are so many things available to use that are helpful. The proximity to the beach is perfect and the beds were very comfortable!! I highly recommend this rental. Additionally, the host is extremely kind and courteous!!

Very clean and great location
Great ocean views and access to the beach. Cottage is well equipped and very comfortable.
We really enjoyed our stay. The property was perfect for our family and had everything we needed and more! The location was perfect with great views and a short walk to the beach!
The house was perfect for a family vacation! Only steps away from beach access which made it perfect to come and go. Great loft for the kids and plenty of room for everyone. We would definitely book again!
Such a perfect property for extended family. Plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed our stay and the property is well equipped with everything you might need.
We just enjoyed a two week visit to the Beach Retreat. Our second visit and we were not disappointed. Great location, great property with everything we needed for a relaxing stay for 12! Sammy is a great host!!
