About this property
The Pinnacle - OCEANFRONT Home. Amazing Views, Pool, Hot Tub, 2 Kitchens,
Deck
Sitting atop one of the highest dunes and nestled in the heart of the town of Emerald Isle, its all about the views and amenities at this updated 8 bedroom, 6 bathroom island getaway. It offers expansive direct south facing ocean front views overlooking the Atlantic Ocean from east to west, with a large oceanfront pool , hot tub, and very spacious oceanfront Trex deck. The home was originally set up as duplex, but now is offered as single family rental!
This means TWO kitchens, TWO family rooms, and TWO laundry rooms each with a washer/dryer set.
The POOL can also be **HEATED** at an additional cost. Please inquire in advance of your stay if interested to get pricing for the number of nights!
A covered gazebo leads to the private beach access.
The private oceanfront pool and hot tub with arguably one of the best views they can offer, overlooking the ocean as far as you can see , with views of the pier in the distance.
Both sides are connected by an interior door in the main living area. So stay separated, or open up for access to both sides of the home. Great for large groups and family gatherings.
There are two full kitchens and two family rooms in this home, one on each side.
Overall, EACH side hosts:
Master bedroom, with its own private large bathrooms and an amazing personal oceanfront balcony overlooking the deck, with unobstructed views of the island as far as the eye can see. Upstairs Queen bedroom Upstairs bunk bed room with two sets of twin bunks (4 beds in room). Downstairs Queen room on main living level near the kitchen, with a connecting full bathroom.
The master bedrooms on both sides have their own bathroom with tub and shower. The other bedrooms upstairs share a full hallway bathroom. The downstairs queen bedrooms have a connecting bathroom, that shares a door with the main living space.
Convenient spacious laundry rooms with washer and dryer on each side. There is also a gas grill on each side. The outdoor space with a gorgeous view here is simply stunning!

Thanks so much for a lovely stay! We really loved the nice bright house, the open setup between sides, the pool, and hot tub. Especially loved the sofa on the West Side! And the ocean was spectacular as always. It's a wonderful place overall.
Great property! Everyone enjoyed the house, the pool and the beach. Everything was clean and well stocked. The pictures don’t do it justice. It is spacious with great views. Two kitchens made it so easy for us to prepare meals for the whole gang. Owners were very responsive every step of the way.
Fantastic location, we all enjoyed being on the beach and using the pool and hottub. House well appointed and allowed for different age groups to relax. A suggestion would be to power wash the carport area by the driveway and also the trash cans. Thank you for a wonderful setting for great family memories!
My extended family came down for what might be the last time we will all get together and rented a bunch of houses near each other. This home was far and away the best place and quickie became the gathering place for all. It is spacious, clean, nicely located and the Ocean views are unmatched! We were blessed to find this place and will ABSOLUTELY return!
We had a wonderful time at The Pinnacle. This was our family’s second stay at this home - both trips have been fantastic. The house is well-equipped for a large group, spacious, and very comfortable. The multi-level deck and large, heated pool are exceptional, and the views from the balcony and deck can’t be beat. The hosts are gracious and responsive. We hope to be back again soon!
"Family Memories, Family Fun with Fabulous Ocean Views"
Our family has been going to the Emerald Isle area for over 30 years and "The Pinnacle" has the best view of the ocean we have ever stayed at. You can be on any floor of the home and have an amazing view. The pool and hot tub were marvelous. The home was clean and had all the kitchen utensils, bedding and toiletries we needed. "Best value in Emerald Isle".Looking forward to our next visit.
The team had a wonderful time. Enjoyed game night. The jacuzzi was warm and clean. The view and the weather was the best. Loved the joined open units. Allowed for separate meetings
House was absolutely fantastic, Stephanie was a great host who was readily avaiable via the VRBO app and was very accommodating. Pool and hot tub were a hit and convenience to restaurants and stores was about a mile or so. House was super clean, den furniture was really confortable. House has a lot of parking and great common areas to hang out in. Veiws are great, you just cant go wrong here!!
Amazing views, clean and spacious, perfect for groups
I stayed with a few friends for a spiritual retreat, and this house was perfect. Owners were very kind, responsive, and accommodating. The house was clean and spacious, with two kitchens and two living rooms that connect via a door, which enabled us to have separate gatherings and conversations when we wanted. The pool was heated! The best part was the view of and access to the beach. I’ve stayed at oceanfront homes but none with such close views of the waves and quick access to the beach. We hope to come back soon! 10/10.
We had a wonderful stay at the house. Location is perfect. Views are spectacular. Cleaning crew worked right until the 4pm check in time because "the previous occupants left the place a mess." They did an awesome job. The house was spotless when we checked in. We found two small plumbing issues the day we checked in, and the management company had them corrected the next morning seamlessly.
Overall, an awesome experience and we would gladly go back.
We rented both sides. Paid for the heated pool. . . So worth it! Hot Tub was very large. . . Another plus! Communication with the Owners was a pleasure. Home was clean, spacious, and completely as advertised. Will definitely be re-booking this property for Ocean Front Family Time!
We had a wonderful time staying at the Pinacle. The houses are airy and well maintained. The pool is superb, the beach not crowded, there are plenty of chairs, well equipped kitchens, fabulous laundry facility. Everything worked out great for our extended family of 10. If you stay, it is best to use the vacuum cleaner provided to keep the house sand free or at least as much as possible. Enjoy!
We were friends and families enjoying a week at the beach. The house is mirror image on each side and great for multi-families - two living rooms/two kitchens, single doorway between two living rooms is only connection. Plenty of space for kids and adults to be both together and separate. The pool was great- heater worked well which has not been true at some other places we have rented. Kitchens were adequately equipped. Location (~1.5 from grocery, ABC store, etc) is perfect. Easy walk down beach to pier and pier restaurant if you need a night out. Owner contact (minimal necessary for our stay) was easy and quick response.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pinnacle and it was perfectly set up for our family. The beautiful large back decks were wonderful for enjoying your morning coffee and watching the sun rise. Both kitchens are fully stocked with everything you could need and stores are located within walking/biking distance or a quick 5 minute drive. The pool was picturesque and the hot tub was wonderful for evening soaks after pool time. Only negative we had was there was quite a bit of garbage in the dunes so we tried to clean some of that up and a few bugs on the exterior of the home that we noticed but that was it! My sister-in-law accidentally left something at the house after our check out and the host graciously allowed us access to retrieve those items. 10/10 we would stay again and hope to next year!
My family decided to take a quick, early-year getaway down to Emerald Isle from Raleigh. It was one of the best decisions we’ve made in a long time. Though we were there for only a couple of days, this property truly helped us hit the reset button heading into spring! The furniture was comfortable, clean, and very relaxing; much of it seemed to be brand new. The pool was everything it was explained to be, and more. While we were there, temperatures were in the 50s and 60s, which would’ve kept us from even considering getting in the water on any other vacation. This pool’s heated feature completely changed that for us! It was the highlight of our stay. The kids spent hours in it, as did I. Just imagine audible waves crashing in the background as you stare up at the star filled sky while taking a midnight swim. As my header asks, what more can you ask for?
The combination of comfort, space, amenities, and oceanfront location make this property hard to match…not to mention the cozy hometown feel of Emerald Isle itself. We’ve been to many oceanfront properties as a family, but this one is hard to match. Do yourself a favor and try it out!
This home was perfect for 5 of my single children and my husband and I. My 82 yr old mother-in-law also joined us. My MIL was able to sleep on the first floor on one side and my kids could be on the other side in the living area with the adjoining door closed hanging out without disturbing. The two kitchens were perfect! We deemed one the "baking" kitchen and the other a "meal prep" kitchen. The pool and hot tub were awesome and were well used in the evenings. Loved the views from the deck and balcony. The gazebo was a nice touch as my MIL could sit and rest after taking short walks before coming up the steps inside. The view there was also breathtaking. The only thing that was an issue is that the many steps to/from the beach from the main level were a challenge for my 82 yr old MIL. Also, as she had to sleep on the main floor the bathroom she used had a low toilet which she struggled getting up and down on and couldn't take a shower since she couldn't step into the tub. Because of these things if you have someone who is physically challenged this house is not for you.
Overall , despite the challenges, it was a great week for our family. We would definitely rent it again if my MIL was not with us.

First time with VRBO, a little different?
Let me preface with, I understand it was the end of the season. The house we chose was both sides of a duplex because we needed two king bedrooms and at least 4 queen bedrooms to accommodate the six couples and a one year old. We’ve been to Emerald Isle many times and the Pinnacle seemed to fit all of our needs with a pool and large deck.
Pros: The double kitchens were great. The aforementioned pool was fantastic. The views were amazing, as well as the proximity to shopping.
Cons: The description of the house mentions that one of the master bedrooms has a kids bed. It does not. My family would probably never be described as neat freaks, but the owners desperately need a new cleaning service. We were all surprised by the overall cleanliness of the house at check in. Yes, it’s the beach. Done it 15-20 times, but the amount of dust on the nightstands and dressers was crazy. The floors were sticky like they weren’t really mopped. My bigger concerns were the condition of the showers. The doors had lots of mildew and the shower floors weren’t very clean. The linen service wasn’t much better. Sheets and pillowcases were way past their lifespan. Fortunately, the towels were better and plentiful. I’m a little meh on the actual value for the cost. I’ve certainly spent more on some places and spent less for others.
Overall, my family had a great time because we were all together and the beach is always a great vacation! I just have to give some thought if I’ll use VRBO again.
The house is amazing. The pool is bigger then most you will find and hot tub was perfect. The rooms where very nice. The kitchens were well stocked and everything was super clean. Every part of the house was well maintained and comfortable. Grateful to have found this house for our family.
It was an amazing weekend with our son getting married. We hosted a breakfast for family and was pleased with a full kitchen stocked on both sides. The location and the view are outstanding. The house needs some bathroom upgrade, but other than that we were very pleased with our stay at Pinnacle.
Beautiful home! We had a wonderful time spending spring break here. Really enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well as the use of both kitchens. House was perfect for multiple generations with lots of space to spread out. Gorgeous ocean views.
Wonderful property, excellent location with an unbelievable view. Hosts were very nice to work with and the home fit us all with everything we needed to enjoy our time.
This was a family trip with our grown children and grandchildren. The views from the living room deck and upper decks were amazing. The kitchen was well equipped with many of the essentials and then some. Pool and surrounding deck was awesome. Despite a couple of hiccups with the pool and hot tub heat (which were corrected within minutes of contacting the host Stephanie) everyone truly enjoyed those amenities. Thank you for allowing us to share and make wonderful memories at The Pinnacle!
This home's location was perfect and the home accommodated my large family of children, grandchildren and me. We celebrated Thanksgiving with walks on the beach, some beach football, warming up in the hot tub and of course, turkey and all the fixins'. Plenty of room for my whole crew. Couldn't ask for a better spot. We hadn't been to Emerald Isle for a very long time so we enjoyed seeing all the changes.
Our family had a wonderful time at this vacation home. Plenty of room , and the mattresses was nice ! That’s hard to find in vacation property. Had a problem with the upstairs air when we arrived , but it was fixed in the same day . Enjoy the location , the pool was a nice , and we had a blast
