About this property

Relax, Play, Enjoy at OFFSHORE BLUE - Sound Front Home 4 BR 2 Bath

OFFSHORE BLUE is a beautiful sound front home located in the private Marsh Cove neighborhood of Emerald Isle. OFFSHORE BLUE offers spectacular views of Bogue Sound with its waterfront location ready for paddle boarding, kayaking, and fishing. The home is situated at the end of a long driveway on a peninsula away from other homes, giving you a private oasis. Feel the ocean breezes from the expansive deck and enjoy the breathtaking views of water, marsh, and wildlife from the dock. A short 5 to 10 minute walk will lead you to the pristine beaches of the Crystal Coast, the boat ramp with nature trail, pier, and playground, and Chapel by the Sea. Bring your bikes and ride on the bike path that stretches the length of Emerald Isle. After a day at the beach by the emerald green waters, enjoy a fun competitive game on the new putting green, and then unwind with a front row seat on the NEW floating dock to view spectacular sunsets.

Our home is about 3 miles from Emerald Isle town center where you will find restaurants, shopping, a movie theater, mini golf, post office, and Bogue Inlet Pier. Swansboro, Morehead City, and Beaufort are all easy drives and are fun to explore. Hammocks Beach State Park and Fort Macon offer great activities for the whole family.

The interior features a modern take on classic coastal design. Numerous upgrades have been made to make your experience comfortable and enjoyable. The kitchen is well stocked for the chef in your party. The up-to-date bathrooms feature nice finishes such as the soaking tub in the upstairs bathroom situated by a picture window. Enjoy the home sound system and listen to your favorite music indoors and outdoors. The home also has four large TVs and wifi. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed, ensuite bathroom, and private balcony with outdoor seating to enjoy the sunrise.

First trip to Emerald Isle

Our daughter was turning 13 and wanted to go the beach for her birthday. Our kids grew up in Florida and we relocated to South Carolina a few year’s ago. We try to get back to FL to visit family and go to the beach but it’s ridiculously expensive and so far to drive and we wanted to explore somewhere closer. We chose Emerald Isle and couldn’t have had a better experience. The property was very affordable and private and had breathtaking views. Teresa was more than accommodating and very prompt to answer any of our questions and to give recommendations as far as local things to do. We had an amazing day finding shells at Fort Macon, and visited NC aquarium which was surprisingly nice.The property was pristine and the listing pictures don’t even come close to doing it justice. We’re already planning a return trip..highly recommended!

Perfect spot for a family getaway!

We loved staying at Off Shore Blue! We had the best time fishing and crabbing off the dock, kayaking and playing many round of putt putt golf. This house truly has it all. We felt so at home as they had everything you need in the kitchen and bathrooms and even a storage room full of stuff that you could use from a wagon, putters, fishing rods amd 2 bikes. We definitely can’t wait to come back!

Sensational Soundside!

What a find!! By far, the most perfect rental home our family has ever stayed in. We so very much enjoyed the peaceful, private location on the sound from the many decks with comfortable rocking and lounge chairs while listening to the surround sound music as if we were the only ones on the entire island. The comfortable open layout was also fantastic with every amenity we could ever need. On top of everything, the communication with the host was amazing and so very generous and accommodating. We will definitely be repeat guests!❤️

Serenity with views without sand or salt spray

Great house. Great design, well maintained and tastefully decorated with a kitchen that you can cook in. Appliances and cookware were like new, no cabinets filled with junk. Amenities were all used and in great shape, putting green, kayaks, corn hole, pier and dock, etc. Views of the sound were fantastic. Variety of birds was amazing. Also saw deer, a fox, and some big rabbits. Careful if you want to dock a boat, there's only about a foot of water at low tide. We were OK with a skiff but a vee hull could be tricky. We fully intend to come back.

Outstanding vacation home

Our family greatly enjoyed our stay. The host is great. The house and property are outstanding. We would highly recommend this to folks interested in a sound-side vacation (also a short walk from the beach). The views from the house are breathtaking. The amenities, like the kayaks, paddle board, decks, dock, and outside shower are great. The sound, nearby islands, and marshy area between the house and dock are great for bird-watching, seeing a host of other wildlife, fishing, crabbing, etc. It is a very peaceful place (e.g., not on a busy road), but is close enough to easily bike to shops, etc. I wish that we could have stayed longer.

Fantastic Beach Vacation

We had a fantastic vacation staying at the Offshore Blue listing. Our week was packed with beach time, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, and even a family putting championship! Offshore Blue has many amenities and Teresa is a great host. When we checked into the property, my wife exclaimed that the online pictures did not due the house justice on how really nice it is. We would definitely stay here again for future vacations.

Great Location - Private Dock to watch the sunsets - close to everything EI has to offer. Not to mention house had all the items a house should have but usually does not on VRBO - paper towels / salt/ pepper/ olive oil / dishwashing detergent / laundry detergent - i could go on. House was clean and spacious - porches - rocking chairs - lovely property.

The house & location is wonderful! The views of the sound were awesome. The walk to the beach is an easy 10min walk. Our trip started out great when the host graciously allowed us to check in early. The kitchen is very nicely stocked & was perfect to provide Thanksgiving dinner for my Marines/ family. We were pleased to find Corn hole, fishing poles, a hammock & other games in addition to the kayak, paddle board & putting green. Everything was clean, plenty of towels & it was nice to have "starters" of toilet paper & soaps. We would definitely love to return.

Baseball Boys Slice of Heaven!

We needed a quick, partial week rental for 2 families of boys that were picked up to guest play in a baseball tournament over a long weekend. This house was the PERFECT fit for our families of baseball boys and their older sisters. The house itself was immaculate and gorgeously renovated - looking brand new. Furnishings were comfortable and worked well for our needs. The property and the view made our trip even more enjoyable! Caught a few fish, watched some amazing sunsets and loved the peaceful views. Close to everything we needed in Emerald Isle. Would definitely rent again and highly recommend!

Better Than Advertised

Recently stayed over 4th of July week. House is nicer than the photos. Sits out on a small point - so you feel isolated (even though in a neighborhood). Beautiful sound views. Owner is very nice and super responsive. Always got right back to me if I had a question. Very accommodating. Plenty of towels and supplies a lot of the basic necessities. A very enjoyable week. Highly recommend this property.
