About this house rental
Situated in Indian Beach, this lovely house for $390 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Looking for a restful vacation, with just enough to keep the family entertained, but not be overwhelmed with crowds and traffic? Located on a quiet island, just off the North Carolina Coast, this comfortable, 3 bedroom, 4 bath home is over 2300 square feet. The house has 2 unique features - it is sound front with a walkway through the woods to the pier into the sound and has 2 separate living areas - one on the first floor and one on the third floor. The top (3rd!) floor is the main living area, opening onto a sound front deck, with Adirondack chairs, and a grill. (and spectacular views!) The interior includes an open space kitchen, counter bar with 4 seats, dining area that seats 8, a full bath, and 2 separate seating areas! The main seating area has a large screen LG smart TV with traditional seating (couch, 2 side chairs) Off to the side, also facing the sound, is a reading/sleeping area. It has a queen sized sleeper futon, and 2 comfortable chairs and a bookshelf - (this is a public space and offers NO privacy - perfect for teens or kids, or the early riser in the family). The kitchen is equipped with all standard appliances and dishes/silverware, pots and pans for feeding your crowd. You will also find enough basics - paper towels, TP, paper plates/cups, dish soap, laundry soap, coffee, sugar, etc -(you get the picture!) so you don't need to dash off to the store. The middle floor has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. - complete with towels and clean linens! All bedrooms come with flatscreen TV's with Roku/internet access. (Please use your own credentials for specialty TV channels) The master has a queen sized bed and a 4 piece, ensuite, with jetted tub and 5 foot shower! The 2nd bedroom also has a queen sized bed. Both open onto the middle sound side deck with outdoor seating. The 3rd bedroom has a bunk with a "full" sized bottom and a single upper. The washer and dryer are on this floor for handy access. The ground floor can be used almost as a separate suite. It has a queen sized sleeper futon, a full bath, and a separate TV/living area with sofa and loveseat, as well as access to the backyard. It has interior stairs to the top 2 floors but if needed, the other floors can be accessed by the outside decks.. The home's private pier leads to the sound for fishing, clamming, sailing. It is a little shallow for larger speedboats, except at high tide, but it is great for small children, sailing, kayaking, jet skis, and sunset viewing. (We do NOT provide any recreational vehicles......) There is a local marina just 1 mile away in Salter Path (Indian Beach) where you launch water vehicles....and a rental place less than 2 miles away. And there's more!....Entertainment! The ocean/beach access is just 3 tenths of a mile away in Salter Path. It is recommended that folks with small children drive and make the 3 minute trip with toys, chairs, etc. since it is on the main road. It is a well-kept secret, because even on holiday weekends, it is easy to find parking and a 'spot' on the beach with some space to spread out your towels, and family - no "elbow to elbow", listening to someone else's music. It has outside showers, restrooms, and grills, and a good number of parking spaces, many of which are shaded. The beach is wide and sandy, and the water has a gradual slope out, providing lots of safe places to swim and skim board. (The house has an outside shower with hot and cold water to rinse off sandy feet.) The North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is just 2 miles away and provides wonderful viewing, touch tanks, nature trails, as well as programs for all age levels! A small amusement park and 2 theaters are within a few minutes drive and provide change of pace activities when you a need a break from the sun, sea and salt. There also golf courses -https://www.emeraldislerealty.com/blog/top-emerald-isle-nc-area-golf-courses Everything you would need for a quiet vacation is less than 15 minutes away Morehead City, Cape Carteret, and Beaufort are small nearby (less than 20 miles!) towns with lots of charm, as well as art galleries, local museums, antique stores and upscale shopping. New Bern, NC - the first NC state capital- is 45 minutes away and has a real castle, and many historic amenities. We do not wish to be rude or unwelcoming, but.....

House is very spacious. We enjoyed all the decks and views of the ocean and sound from the top deck. Kitchen living area is great for big families. Lots of options for sleeping and plenty of bathrooms. We enjoyed going out to the pier in the mornings to watch the birds. We never made it out there for sunset, but I'm sure it is beautiful. Beach access is like a two minute car ride if even and would recommend not walking especially with kids and all your gear. House is well stocked with items you may need and was very helpful to not have to rush to the store right away. The steps in the house are steep so beware, but once we got settled in you get used to them. Great communication with host. We enjoyed our quick weekend away!

The home was perfect for our family! We were a 3 min drive to the beach parking and fishing was right out the back door - the private pier was amazing and perfect for early morning or night fishing. We caught trout, red drum, sting ray and other types of fish. kThe sunset views from the pier were breathtaking. We took family photos from the pier at sunset. The multiple decks were all connected and came in handy so as to not have to walk all through the home to get to each floor or bedroom. The top deck had new gas grill and was perfect for gathering. Each balcony had nice seating and the middle balcony was connected to the two bedrooms but had private seating areas. The bunk room was small but not an issue because the kids only slept there. The closets are a great size. The kitchen was well stocked and each TV was RokuSmart. The driveway for the home was very steep but fit 3 vehicles just fine. Dollar General, Food Lion, fresh seafood, restaurants, convenience stores were all within 5-15 min away. It was nice to be right between Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle. The outdoor shower is not enclosed but was good to get the sand off before going inside. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay!

My family and I enjoyed our stay in this wonderful home! It’s located in a cute and quiet neighborhood. The neighbors are extremely friendly (We met 2 of them). The dock is great. We spent most of our days just fishing away. We were there July 4th week, and we were able to see plenty of fireworks right from the back porch! It is a 3 story home, so there are a lot of stairs. But that didn’t bother us at all. It has plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Jane is super sweet and a very responsive host. So if anything needed attention, which wasn’t much, she was very quick to answer my messages! Thank you, Jane, for opening up your place to us!

We loved our stay at this property. Being able to catch views of the sound and ocean from the top level was a real treat. We really enjoyed the property's soundfront pier, watching the sunset, and staying up late into the evening catching up with family with our water view. The closeness to ocean access was super. The long boardwalks were a little workout, but it was great to be able to have my mother (in her 70's) get so close to the water before having to do battle with walking through sand. This was a great place for our family to connect. . . what a special time we had here!

Our family had a fantastic time at Jane’s beautiful home. Plenty of space- the pictures are accurate and it’s a perfect set up for a couple of families to get together and not feel crowded. It has all the extras for cooking at home after a day at the beach, and the deck chairs are perfect for post-dinner relaxation. Jane was wonderful to work with - communicative, thoughtful, and quick to respond to questions. Overall, an outstanding beach vacation.

We rented this house for an extended-family vacation. It was perfect for our needs. Some of the family members enjoyed fishing off the dock in the back, and at the beach. The shallow water in the sound was perfect for little kids to explore in. You can walk to the fun park or the beach.
The house was nice; and we got lots of exercise going up and down so many steps, and walking down to the dock. The house was clean, and there are lots of extras that you normally don't find in a rental.
When we needed some maintenance done, they were there very quickly. E-mails were answered promptly.
Thank you, Jane!

This is the second time we have vacationed in this home, we love it. There's lot of room, privacy and just very shot drive or walk to the public beach access.

Very nice house for family groups. Great location and views. Comfortable, and with 3 levels, room to spread out. The house is a bit older and has a few very minor flaws, but the price is set right.

This was a great prooerty!! The dock was fantastic, my son fished everyday. Super close public beach parking. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a fun time with our canoes and swimming in shallow water with children off the dock. The public beach was as promised: never crowded and always a free shady spot for us to park our car after a 2 minute drive.
The house was nice, on top of a hill and top floor spacious, bright. We used the outdoor stair to avoid going through the 1st floor "bedroom" to give those family members privacy.
Only downsides: the dryer did not work, but the owner graciously gave us a credit for that and was planning to replace the machine, so that should be fixed.
Also, when you are outside, you can faintly hear the gocart track and see bright lights from the minigolf at night, which can detract from the otherwise very peaceful and private location. Otherwise we would have given location 5 stars.

We have rented this property several times. The host is excellent and responsive to your needs. The dock and bay are wonderful for paddleboarding and have great sunset views. Quiet and safe neighborhood.

overall it was a decent place and met our needs. We did have to go buy disposable drain snakes to snake hair monsters out of all the tubs. It would be helpful to mention how difficult it is to get kayaks, or anything else for that matter, to the sound or the beach.

We had a great time in Indian Beach. There are fun things to do close by. We were a little disappointed that the local ice cream shop and pizza place were closed during our stay. Over all we had a great time.

Large, clean home
With 2 teens, everyone had their own bed and bath! Clean and convenient. I hope the front door lock is replaced soon and we struggled every single time and would have been out of luck if dexterity- challenged.

A view of the bay from the top floor which is the kitchen / family room. A easy walk to the bay. Great location and restaurants near by.

The house is in a great place! It has its own personal pier that allowed for us to fish, and I would assume during the summer months a great place to swim and play! The house is three levels with the ground floor being a type of game room of sorts. The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms and a full hall bath. There were six of us but this home could easily accommodate 8-10 people. The master has this amazing whirlpool. And the top floor is the kitchen and dining/living area. There are 4 full baths altogether and it was certainly a house that gave every comfort of home. It was clean and well kept. I will rent this one again whenever we come back to vacation in the area.
