About this property

OCEANFRONT HALF DUPLEX SLEEPS 9 w 4 BDRMS, 3 ARE OCEANVIEW! BEST PART OF E ISLE!

NEW - BEAN BAG TOSS GAME, 4 BEACH TOWELS, 2 UMBRELLAS, PLENTIFUL CHAIRS, BOOGIE BOARDS, BARBECUE GRILL, SECTIONAL SOFA, ALARM CLOCKS, BLOW DRYERS, USB PORTS, GOTHAM STEEL POTS, BAKING TINS, NEW TEAL DINNERWARE, NEW OUTDOOR SHOWER FIXTURES, KEURIG WITH ASSORTED COFFEE PODS PLUS DRIP POT, ALL SOAPS PROVIDED WITH WRAPPED LINENS.

2024 -- SHIBUMIS, CHAISE LOUNGES, NEW DECK.

In this family-friendly, classic Carolina oceanfront duplex you'll be treated to the perfect setting for your next family vacation, friends retreat, or fun getaway. The downstairs deck is outfitted with a large enclosed hot/cold shower, ample outdoor seating as well as a large picnic table, and a privacy partition. As a south-facing property, you'll enjoy amazing sunrises and sunsets from the upper and lower decks as well as the dune deck at the far end of the walkway which directly overlooks the beach for enjoying that million-dollar view while sitting and sipping your favorite beverage without getting sand in your toes. A few gentle steps down from the dune deck puts you on the gorgeous sandy beach, unlike many properties that have a very long or steep staircase.

No need to worry about parking or finding the nearest beach access; you'll have your own private, direct oceanfront access as well as ample parking. We allow four vehicles per side (boat/boat trailer counts as one vehicle); if you and your group rent Summerplace East and West you'll be able to park eight vehicles on the property.

Along with quaint, cozy furnishings, and soothing coastal colors, Summerplace is conveniently located so close to dining and shopping. We are on the very BEST part of the island, on the five thousand block with Publix groceries at the eight thousand block, Surfs Up and Bogue Inlet fishing pier just three miles away, tons of restaurants and shopping, and just a few miles from the Aquarium and Atlantic Beach attractions!

The West side has 4 bedrooms (5 beds) and 2 baths and sleeps 9, three of the 4 bedrooms have amazing ocean views, 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 down, plus a full kitchen and family room, 5 smart TVs with Roku streaming and high-speed WiFi allowing you to stream from your favorite streaming account, and USB ports and ceiling fans in every room. It also has both a Keurig and drip coffee pot, brand new Gotham Steel pots and pans, mixers and ice cream maker, toaster, dishwasher, full-depth fridge, and full-size washer and dryer, outdoor shower, and additional outdoor rinsing spigot along the walkway to the dune deck.

Additionally, we have provided sand toys, beach chairs, and boogie boards so that everyone can enjoy a fun day on the beach without having to lug those items with you from home.

Home is meticulously maintained by the owners who are local in Morehead City. Do not hesitate to contact us for any little need or question, we are extremely accommodating and know the area extremely well.

WE REQUIRE THE FOLLOWING:

1 -A COPY OF YOUR VALID ID WITHIN 24 HOURS OF BOOKING

Family vacation 2023
We had a great stay at summer place! The house was extremely clean and had everything we needed for the week! The owners were in constant communication and answered any questions we had. You could not get any closer to the beach which is where we were most of the time. The house does have very steep steps which is important to note if you have issues with stairs. It also does not have any ice or filtered water so we had to purchase all of that separately which was kind of a pain. All in all we had a great stay!

Perfect Location
The duplex was in a perfect location. Right on the beach, close to stores and restaurants. Perfect size, not too big and not too small. I'm not a fan of the beach houses that you have to go up and down mulitple flights of stairs. Meg is on the ball! If you need anything, she answers quickly! The only recommendation I would make is that if you have adults in your party, bring your own beach chairs as the ones that are provided are more for children.

Best deck and view around!
Because the deck goes down to the sandbar, we felt like we were on the beach even when we were not in the sand! We would be hard pressed to find a better deck and view anywhere. Phil, one of the proprty owners, was in the other side of the duplex our first week there. The 6 of us so enjoyed our daily visits with him.

Amazing!!
This home is absolutely perfect! It’s literally 5 steps from the beach, everything was remodeled up to the day we arrived so it was basically brand new, it’s a quiet place with a beach that was never crowded so perfect for the little ones to run and play! Spent all of our time either on the sand or on the brand new deck sitting in the rocking chairs that overlook the beach and of course watching the dolphins playing 💙 this is by far our favorite rental ever and we will absolutely be back in the future!!

Perfect Week at the Beach
This home is ideally located on the private beaches of Emerald Isle, our favorite beach destinations. The kitchen is big and easy to cook in. We enjoyed home-cooked meals on the deck almost every evening. There was plenty of comfortable places to sit, both inside and out. And the beds, super comfy. By far, this was the best beach vacation we’ve ever had.

Fantastic Property!
My family (2 adults, 3 kids aged 2-11) had a fantastic time at this property. The location was just perfect. Lots of amenities to make our trip easier - all the sand castle toys we could ask for, a high chair, even boogie boards that my kids used every single day. Also appreciated all the USB ports in every room and Roku’s with the tvs . Communication was fantastic too- I really couldn’t ask for anything better all around. A hidden gem!

Summerplace West
We stayed at Summerplace West for several days with friends. The house was very well taken care of and very clean. Everything we needed, plus more, was in the home, including beach chairs which was a big plus as we flew in from out of state. The water was beautiful and the beaches were full of shells. It was a beautiful location and a wonderful, much needed vacation.

Labor day weekend getaway
We had a great time at the place. It was spacious, clean, and right on the beach. Great view. No complaints. Everything worked out well. The owners were very helpful and are kind people. We didn't do any cooking. Basically used it to sleep and shower in. Didn't watch and TV. It was beach, beach, beach mostly. 🙂

Emerald Isle
Easy beach access! Beach toys were a hit with the kids. Beds comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed. And a table that comfortably seated all 7 of us. WiFi connection reliable. We spent most of our time at home...walking and playing on the beach, relaxing inside or enjoying meals together. Restaurants are nearby (not walking distance). Stairs to second level bedrooms are steep, not easy for little ones or those with knee issues. A couple of things would have made our vacation even better. First, a key to lock the back door so when we were all on the beach we could secure our personal items. (Evidently a vacationer lost the key last year.) Second, a posting with name and location of nearest hospitals. (Unfortunately one of our family members had an allergic reaction that required an immediate emergency room visit.) Overall a location and home we recommend.

2021 Vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Emerald Isle. The beach house was comfortable and cozy. Plenty of room for our group of 5, including a 3 year old. The outdoor shower was a real treat ! So much so that we never showered indoors 🤣 The beach was awesome with easy access. Our stay was a real treat. Highly recommend this home.

With a "photo perfect" spectacular view, this oceanfront bright and beachy home was comfortable and peaceful. Vacationing in this home with two best girlfriends (our ages 69-73) significantly enhanced our "girls' road trip" . Homeowner, Amanda was very gracious in communicating with us best places to eat and visit. FANTASTIC VACAY! Gail G.

Great Beach Rental
We enjoyed all aspects of this rental. It's only 10 minutes from a large quality grocery store. It has only a short boardwalk and then you are on the beach and only a short distance to the water. It is along a long stretch of great walkable beachfront. Loved the upper deck for a morning cup of coffee. Outdoor hoses to clean your feet off as well as a full outdoor shower made keeping the sand outdoors easy. It would be a bit small if you had the full 9 person capacity but otherwise was perfect.

Wonderful summer 2020 stay
We stayed in this wonderful property in August 2020. We had two families with young children and we were very comfortable. The house is clean, well kept and with many wonderful amenities, including warm outdoor showers. The owners are very attentive and have kept the house in great condition. The days were spent soaking up the sun and riding waves. The evenings were colored by beautiful sunsets. We love Emerald Isle and can’t recommend the beach and this property enough to other families.
