About this property

Great Reviews! Early Check-in with no wait! Book fall fishing & summer vacation!

Spend your next vacation relaxing at SunKissed Beach House in Emerald Isle, North Carolina!! You'll feel the stress melt away as you listen to the waves and watch the stars from the wide porches of SunKissed. A short 3 minute walk has you on the wide, soft sand beach of the Point to enjoy amazing play days and spectacular evening sunsets!

Check-in at 1:30!! No need to get stuck in traffic entering the island or wait till late afternoon for your key. No-contact lockbox entry means you can quickly grab your key and get started on your vacation on day one!

Reliable high-speed internet (5g and 2.4g) allows multiple devices to be connected for home school and work from home situations.

Sleep 8 comfortably in spacious home with:
• 3 bedrooms (K; Q; twin over full bunk)
• Private bonus room (Q sofa bed)
• 3.5 baths (all renovated 2021!)
• Decks on 2 levels with comfortable furniture to relax in shade or sun!!

SunKissed Beach House is spacious, updated and exceptionally clean and well-stocked. There are 3 bedrooms and a bonus room with a queen-size pull-out sofa to allow 8 to sleep comfortably... and 3.5 baths - all fully renovated with soaker tubs. The main living area is an open floor plan with a well-stocked kitchen which opens into a bright and sunny breakfast/dining room. The house is fully equipped for an enjoyable vacation, including a fully renovated kitchen, master suite and bathrooms.

Be on the sand in less than 5 minutes!! SunKissed Beach House is a single family home located just two short blocks from the wide beaches of the western tip of Emerald Isle, in an area known as the Point. The Point of Emerald Isle has limited traffic so it's an excellent area for biking, running and skateboarding... or simply relaxing on the deck. The beach is wonderful for kids of all ages... with a gentle slope that is perfect for skim-boarding, shelling, a long walk, or sitting in the sun with a great book! The beach cart is perfect for getting gear to the beach easily.

No lines to check-in! Contactless check-in so you can quickly pick up your packet then head straight to SunKissed - that means you can get started on your vacation faster and with less hassle. And to keep your vacation stress-free, a local contact is on-call 24/7 should you find anything out of order.

And let’s not forget the fishing!! Fishing abounds from September through May. With a city-issued permit, vehicles can drive on the beach to access prime fishing spots at The Point. In addition to surf fishing, SunKissed Beach House is approximately three miles from the Bogue Pier in downtown Emerald Isle.

If you are looking for activities away from the beach, you will find many attractions nearby. An amusement park, movie theaters, putt-putt courses, excellent restaurants, and shopping of all sorts can be found in & around Emerald Isle. The newly renovated North Carolina Aquarium is located in nearby Pine Knoll Shores, a visit to historic Swansboro or Beaufort, or a ferry ride to Cape Lookout National Seashore would offer hours of entertainment and education.

Family Friendly Stay

Our family of 7, my husband and I and our 5 kids ranging from 6 months- 20 yrs loved our stay at this well appointed and comfortable home. The kitchen was very well stocked, all rooms and bathrooms were very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed easy strolls to the beach access through a very quiet neigborhood. Owner provided beach chairs, umbrella and cart were very helpful. I've stayed in Emerald Isle nearly every summer of my 40 years but have never stayed in the Point. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet slow pace away from the hustle and bustle of the main drag. If your family enjoys a slow pace, doesn't mind a short stroll to the pristine beach, and loves a well appointed comfortable stay. This is definitely the place for you. We would love to return!

Great stay, true to listing

Lots of room to park play and enjoy. Be aware check in/out is off property but you have to pass it to get to the house so not terrible. More than enough room for the 5 adults and a baby in our group. Convenient fridge on ground level so we could have drinks down there and not have to carry them up and down all the stairs. Cooking was made simple with so many basic spices etc in the kitchen. Showers were great, good water pressure and quick heat up time. 2 reasonably short walks to beach access. First time at this end of the island and it is Beautiful. Close enough to town but feels quieter and more private. There were deer and bunnies in the backyard to see each evening. The only inconvenience was to not be able to make breakfast the last day unless you wanted to hand wash the dishes; per house rules all had to be put away before 10 AM departure instead of turning on dishwasher to make sure they were clean but not having to put away. The early check out time already puts a rush and that was an unexpected requirement. Otherwise pretty much everything was thoughtful and convenient making for a truly great stay!!

Emerald Isle stay

What can I say? Our stay was great! The property was more and better than we expected. House was in excellent condition, very clean, organized and there was everything you needed i.e. kitchen utensils, dishes, coffee pots, beach accessories, etc. Danielle and Jay at checkin were very helpful and friendly. The hurricane missed us but the surf and waves on the last half of the stay were high. Activities on the beach itself were still good. Our grandson loved it. Thank you very much Kevin and Valerie. We hope we can do it again. I would recommend this property to anyone.

Sunkist stay

The house is very nice! Plenty of room. We 4 adults and 3 children. Every bedroom having access to their own bathroom was a plus. The walk to the beach was a little further than we’re used to, but not unbearable!!! We had a great time.

Great place

The house is spacious, clean, well-equipped. Owners are responsive and helpful. One drawback is that while the walk to the beach access point is manageable, you then have a bit of a walk to get to the beach. With young kids and the excessively hot weather we had, it became quite a hike. The beach cart at the house was a huge help - it works well in the sand. Overall, I highly recommend the property.

Excellent Beach Week

The Sun-kissed Beach House is one of our favorite vacation homes when visiting Emerald Isle. The owners are friendly and responsive. The home is clean, well equipped, comfortable and is in an excellent location on the island for an easy stroll to the beach. We love spending lazy afternoons on the decks, which also offer great stargazing at night!

Perfect for our family

This house was perfect for our family of 4... 2 parents + 2 teens. Room layout worked perfectly for us. The house is tastefully decorated and well stocked with dishes. Plenty of linens were included in the linen package, and the little touches like hand soap and a few paper products being provided really made it easier to settle in and get comfortable. Smart TV in the family room got alot of use. Location was amazing! Beach cart was very handy. This was our 2nd trip to EI, but 1st time at The Point. Our whole family needed to decompress, and your house helped us do that. We loved it! None of us wanted to leave. We will be back! Thank you for sharing your house with us.

NOT ONLY A GREAT LOCATION, IT HAD A WONDERFUL LAYOUT FOR MY WIFE AND ME AND MY TWO SISTERS-IN-LAW. THEY STAYED ON THE FIRST FLOOR SLEEPING QUARTERS AND WE ON THE THIRD FLOOR. THE SECOND LEVEL WAS THE KITCHEN DINING AND LIVING ROOM WHERE WE COULD ENJOY EACH OTHER. WE ESPECIALLY ENJOYED THE LOCATION AT THE POINT WITH EASY ACCESS TO ALL THE ISLAND ACTIVITIES.

The Point

Great location, very clean, just as advertised, and great host. Although it is not beach weather in December, the access to the beach is just a stones throw away and the beach was amazing. We were surprised to see the amount of deer on the island and right in the back yard. I highly recommend The Point to anybody during any season.

Great Location, Great House

We really enjoyed our stay at Sunkissed Beach House. Our first time to Emerald Isle so we weren't sure about the location. It's only about 5 minutes walk to beach access. Since it's not beachfront it's more reasonably priced. Very clean, well furnished and well kept. Definitely would stay here again on our next beach trip.

Vacation at Emerald Isle

Our family enjoyed our stay in this clean and spacious house. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of supplies for most any dish you wish to cook. We saw deer in the backyard and around neighborhood every day. This location is great for walks and bike rides. Sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking!

Spacious home, fabulous location

We loved our stay here. The beaches are beautiful and uncrowded at this end of Emerald Isle, and the kids could ride their bikes safely all around the neighborhood. We enjoyed watching the deer in the huge back yard every evening. Having the bedrooms on different levels allowed the lightest sleeper to sleep well on the third floor. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Valerie

Host profile image
Kevin and Valerie dreamed of a beach home and were thrilled to have found SunKissed almost 20 years ago. With an addition, numerous renovations, and many upgrades, SunKissed has become a welcoming home for family and friends to gather and create wonderful memories. We love sharing our home with fellow beach-lovers and hope all of our guests find the Point as magical as we do.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

SunKissed is one of the few properties on the Point where you are able to enjoy breezes from the 3 surrounding bodies of water (Bogue Sound, the Channel, and ocean).
Bright & airy breakfast room with large dining table is perfect place for families to spend time sharing meals, games and conversation.
A kitchen unlike most rental homes: well-stocked with high quality cooking & prep items. Plenty of serving items.
Large grass yard without backdoor neighbors adds to sense of privacy.
