About this property

LUXE Oceanside Oasis | Pool~Spa~Golf Cart~Beach

Seaborne on Emerald Isle is your chance to indulge in a luxury ‘Beach Retreat’ experience, complete with a charming vintage surfing theme (professionally decorated!) and every possible amenity (newly remodeled in 2016 and 2024!). No details have been overlooked. You are only a 2 min walk from a quiet, gorgeous beach, have your own golf cart and bicycles, and… you also have your own secluded backyard oasis, complete with a gorgeous, brand new pool and outdoor spa!

THE SPACE:

“This home has everything for an amazing beach vacation… And it’s perfectly located on the island – far enough from the crowds but close enough to bike to dinner!” – Danielle M.

Welcome to Seaborne - our luxury 4 bedroom/4 bath home, 900 feet from the Atlantic on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast! We have tried to think of every detail to make your stay as relaxing, joyful, and memorable as humanly possible! From our gorgeous gourmet kitchen with its high-end appliances to our brand new backyard oasis, we have sought at every turn to make your stay something special.

“The pool and the hot tub are over the top and on days that aren’t the greatest beach weather, the pool and hot tub are perfect.” – James S.

PLEASE NOTE: Your booking is not final until the signed rental agreement has been returned. More details on this are noted below.

MAIN FLOOR LIVING AREA ---

As you enter the light-filled main floor, you’re greeted with a wonderful open floor plan. The designer Living Room, embellished in coastal pastels and with an intimate gas fireplace, opens to a gourmet Kitchen and a formal Dining Room that hits all the right ‘Beach Retreat’ notes with its driftwood décor.

Off the Living Room, there’s a gracious front porch, a great place for a coffee after some early morning surfing!

The Dining Room leads out to a cozy deck that overlooks the new 14’x30’ Pool and large Outdoor Spa. The Living Room itself extends to a phenomenal Kitchen with a huge walk-in Pantry/Laundry combo and the perfect Coffee Station/Cocktail Bar! The Pantry is fully stocked with every known kitchen appliance, plus all the pet perks your dog could want.

The Kitchen itself boasts Kitchen Aid and Fisher Paykel, along with a chic gas range, a wine fridge and more, so every meal here, big or small, will feel like gourmet magazine come to life!

The Bar, whether for coffees or cocktails, is perfectly stocked with plenty of bar tools, glasses and all the ways to brew the perfect cup of 4 J’s (our local favorite) coffee! And, there’s split zone surround sound in the living, dining and kitchen areas to ensure a great atmosphere whether you’re entertaining or just chillin’ with a margarita and some classic Beach Boys tunes.

“Sarah has done an incredible job of stocking the home with just about everything you need for the week. We felt right at home at “Seaborne” and would gladly return for another vacation.” – James S.

BEDROOMS AND BATHS ---

Off the main living area, you’ll find the ‘Ocean Sunset’ Queen Room and the drama of its beautiful turquoise French Doors, a designated Full Bathroom with separate sink and shower areas, and our ‘Pastel Skies’ King Room – that opens onto the deck and will soon have direct Pool access! Note: the main floor shower is en-suite to this bedroom.

Across from Kitchen, you’ll find the ‘Lifeguard Station’ Master Suite with its own luxury Master Bath, huge walk-in closet and a stunningly spacious King bedroom. This bedroom opens onto the front porch and 2 charming Adirondack chairs – a wonderful place to start or end each day.

Up the stairs, you’ll find an additional Bunk Room, perfect for the young and young at heart, and which - with 4 full bunks - can sleep up to 8! It has its own delightful Full Bath, views of the treetops and extra space for games, TV watching or just hanging out in the comfy beanbags.

DOWNSTAIRS LIVING AREA ---

Next, head downstairs for what makes Seaborne truly special. First, there’s a stylish mudroom that leads directly to the Carport. This is our main entry / exit point - great for your daily coming and going.

Off that is the ultimate Game Room, starting with a luxury Infinity Game Table, a big TV with fun LED lighting, and hexagon ottomans – so everyone can pull one up and join in! You’ll also find a collection of children’s books in the cabinet.

The Carport has its own newly added Half Bath and huge Outdoor Shower, so it’s easy to come in off the beach or step out of the pool without having to head upstairs. There’s also plenty of gear, from beach chairs to soft top surfboards, so you can load up the golf cart with your group to catch some waves or just sink your toes into the sand!

Seaborne definitely has something for everyone, especially bicycles - the locals’ favorite means of transportation, so you too can enjoy all the bike paths that start just off our cul-de-sac and ride to town or take in a sunset. If you’re the stay-at-home type, there’s a big hammock around the corner with your name on it!

The spot where you can really make some amazing memories though is the wonderful screened-in Outdoor Kitchen off the Carport. There’s a dining table for 8, the perfect lounge-y sectional with its own Smart ROKU TV, and an endless stainless-steel counter with a prep sink and an accompanying giant freezer chest for cold drinks - or - your catch of the day!

Off the Outdoor Kitchen, there’s a Wilmington Grill, along with a firepit seating area for those nights where nothing will do but some smores and stories! This entire entertainment area leads out to the new Pool and Outdoor Spa and the secluded backyard – giving the beach some serious competition!

A great home in Emerald Isle

A very nicely renovated location in Emerald Isle. Pictures do not show how nicely spacious the main floor kitchen/living room/dining room flow together. Was a great set up for two families - did not feel crowded at all.Back yard with pool and hot tub is superb Lots of great beach equipment, kitchen was very well stocked and was able to cook very conveniently.Location is very close to the water- can hear it from the house and an easy walk.Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Emerald Isle.

Home Away from Home Impeccable Accommodations

We just had the most relaxing and refreshing mini vacation in the stunning Seaborne! The home is immaculate with no detail overlooked, indoors and out. We enjoyed the backyard oasis and the close proximity to the beach. The interior furnishings and amenities are lovely. Our entire family felt right at home and extremely comfortable- very cozy rooms! We loved the game table and the other little details to make our stay extra fun for the entire family. Bonus, the home is dog friendly and our two pups enjoyed the fenced in backyard! This is a perfect vacation home and spot for a family or group of friends. Fabulous across the board! By far the nicest rental we have ever stayed in! Thank you Sarah for making our getaway so wonderful and for the great recommendations for exploring Emerald Isle!

Perfect house for family & fun

Cannot say enough good things about this property - it's as fabulous as it looks in the pictures! The house was incredibly clean and well-kept (even the blades on the ceiling fans were dust-free!) Well-appointed kitchen and bar - everything you would need to eat-in and prepare meals at home. Plenty of linens + pool towels. The pool and hot tub were perfectly maintained, bikes and golf cart in excellent condition. We didn't spend much time of the beach because of the time of year, but I saw at least 2 beach wagons, boogie boards, sand toys - all of the fun stuff you would want and need for the beach. The house is a great proximity to the beach - there's a public access that's a 30 second golf cart ride or you can easily walk. So many nice amenities (outdoor sound system, game table in the TV room that the kids loved). Property manager was very friendly and easy to work with. Luxe truly is the best adjective to describe this home - we will be back!

Family Fun Time

Property was exactly what a family needed during a week of horrible beach weather. The game room, screened in porch with surround sound to watch movies during the rain, GOLF CART in the rain, bicycle fun on path out the back yard, POOL and HOT TUB were so enjoyable! So many towels were provided as well as anything you could ask for in the kitchen! Very private backyard too.

Best house on EMI!!

Our family has been coming to EMI for over 20 years and this is by far the best house we have stayed in. It is tucked into a cul de sac and feels so very private yet it is a very short walk to the beach access. The owners literally thought of evrything and anything you would need for this home. They provide beach chairs, beach toys, surfboards, a Shibumi shade( we used this everyday), bikes (the bike path is right off the backyard) and a golf cart! The inside is stocked just as well and so beautiful. We loved the gameboard downstairs! And the pool area, WOW! Surround speakers and awesome lights for the pool, so fun! It made this trip super special that the owners allowed us to bring our furbabies- the backyard area was perfect for them and they often just layed out and sunbathed. We had so mu h fun at speakWhat i lomtd just

Quiet luxury at the beach

We cannot say enough good things about our stay at this gorgeous home! Sarah was not only attentive but quick to respond. The house was beyond beautiful. The layout of the home is perfect for entertaining and perfect for families or groups of friends. The house was so well stocked! The owners clean the comforters after each guest… finding a home that offers that is rare! Everything about this home was incredible. We had a blast! We will most definitely be back!!!

EI Vacation

The property was beautiful inside and out. The owners have stocked the kitchen with anything one might need to prepare meals. It was only a short walk to the beach and a golf cart was provided to haul chairs and toys to help make the trip to the beach easier.

Fun Family Vacation

Our stay was an absolute delight! The backyard was an oasis, perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach. The proximity to the beach was very convenient for us. Having access to a golf cart as well was the cherry on top. Would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway by the coast!

Great Vacation!

We had a great stay at Seaborne! The owners have thought of everything! Beds were comfy, kitchen stocked perfectly and the backyard is a dream! We spent most of our time lounging by the pool or in the hot tub. The yard was perfect for our dog! We took the golf cart to dinner one night and it was farther than we thought, but fun! Highly recommend!

Why they chose this property

What we love most about Seaborne is its location on the island and its close proximity to the beach, the bike paths and the local restaurants in town.

You can luxuriate in your own private secluded haven one minute and then hop on a bike or into the golf cart to head for ice cream the next minute. There’s a direct walkway to the quiet, pristine beach at the end of our cul-de-sac, so it’s only a 2-minute walk to the Atlantic Ocean.

Of course, the island is filled with activities like surfing, fishing, kayaking and paddle-boarding, along with just soaking in the white sand beaches of the Crystal Coast. There are just so many Emerald Isle experiences we want you to enjoy that we’ve shared our own EI Bucket List. It’s framed in the Kitchen with markers, so you can check things off! Here are a few to start, but let us know your favorites!

• Fish Hut Grill for amazing food and drinks
• Stir It Up and 4J’s for coffee
• Sweet Spot for ice cream
• Caribsea for an upscale meal, delicious crabcakes and a rooftop bar

“We can’t wait for our guests to fall in love with Seaborne and Emerald Isle just like we did!” – the Owners

What makes this property unique

Seaborne offers an unforgettable vacation with more fun perks than you can try in one stay! Dive into our 14' x 30' saltwater, heated pool or unwind in the 7' x 7' 6-person outdoor spa. Rinse off in the large outdoor shower before hopping on our Jamis beach bikes or cruising in the 4-seat golf cart. Catch some waves with soft-top surfboards, or relax by the gas firepit or in the cozy hammock. Enjoy the screened-in outdoor lounge featuring an outdoor kitchen with a sink, mini-fridge, 58" ROKU TV, and Wilmington gas grill. Seaborne is where joyful memories are made!
