About this property

The Pinnacle - OCEANFRONT Home. Amazing Views, Pool, Hot Tub, 2 Kitchens, Deck

Sitting atop one of the highest dunes and nestled in the heart of the town of Emerald Isle, its all about the views and amenities at this updated 8 bedroom, 6 bathroom island getaway. It offers expansive direct south facing ocean front views overlooking the Atlantic Ocean from east to west, with a large oceanfront pool , hot tub, and very spacious oceanfront Trex deck. The home was originally set up as duplex, but now is offered as single family rental!

This means TWO kitchens, TWO family rooms, and TWO laundry rooms each with a washer/dryer set.

The POOL can also be **HEATED** at an additional cost. Please inquire in advance of your stay if interested to get pricing for the number of nights!

A covered gazebo leads to the private beach access.

The private oceanfront pool and hot tub with arguably one of the best views they can offer, overlooking the ocean as far as you can see , with views of the pier in the distance.

Both sides are connected by an interior door in the main living area. So stay separated, or open up for access to both sides of the home. Great for large groups and family gatherings.

There are two full kitchens and two family rooms in this home, one on each side.

Overall, EACH side hosts:

Master bedroom, with its own private large bathrooms and an amazing personal oceanfront balcony overlooking the deck, with unobstructed views of the island as far as the eye can see.
Upstairs Queen bedroom
Upstairs bunk bed room with two sets of twin bunks (4 beds in room).
Downstairs Queen room on main living level near the kitchen, with a connecting full bathroom.

The master bedrooms on both sides have their own bathroom with tub and shower. The other bedrooms upstairs share a full hallway bathroom. The downstairs queen bedrooms have a connecting bathroom, that shares a door with the main living space.

Convenient spacious laundry rooms with washer and dryer on each side.
There is also a gas grill on each side.
The outdoor space with a gorgeous view here is simply stunning!

Always love the Beach!!

Thanks so much for a lovely stay! We really loved the nice bright house, the open setup between sides, the pool, and hot tub. Especially loved the sofa on the West Side! And the ocean was spectacular as always. It's a wonderful place overall.

We rented both sides. Paid for the heated pool. . . So worth it! Hot Tub was very large. . . Another plus! Communication with the Owners was a pleasure. Home was clean, spacious, and completely as advertised. Will definitely be re-booking this property for Ocean Front Family Time!

Amazing location and house for family reunion

Fantastic location, we all enjoyed being on the beach and using the pool and hottub. House well appointed and allowed for different age groups to relax. A suggestion would be to power wash the carport area by the driveway and also the trash cans. Thank you for a wonderful setting for great family memories!

Great house and great location

Everything was great except the cleanliness when we arrived. A lot of trash was left behind and the pool and hottub were pretty dirty as well. The house and property were 10/10 though. Would definitely go again. If it were clean - easy 5 stars.

"Family Memories, Family Fun with Fabulous Ocean Views"

Our family has been going to the Emerald Isle area for over 30 years and "The Pinnacle" has the best view of the ocean we have ever stayed at. You can be on any floor of the home and have an amazing view. The pool and hot tub were marvelous. The home was clean and had all the kitchen utensils, bedding and toiletries we needed. "Best value in Emerald Isle".Looking forward to our next visit.

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful stay at the house. Location is perfect. Views are spectacular. Cleaning crew worked right until the 4pm check in time because "the previous occupants left the place a mess." They did an awesome job. The house was spotless when we checked in. We found two small plumbing issues the day we checked in, and the management company had them corrected the next morning seamlessly. Overall, an awesome experience and we would gladly go back.

Beautiful Views!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pinnacle and it was perfectly set up for our family. The beautiful large back decks were wonderful for enjoying your morning coffee and watching the sun rise. Both kitchens are fully stocked with everything you could need and stores are located within walking/biking distance or a quick 5 minute drive. The pool was picturesque and the hot tub was wonderful for evening soaks after pool time. Only negative we had was there was quite a bit of garbage in the dunes so we tried to clean some of that up and a few bugs on the exterior of the home that we noticed but that was it! My sister-in-law accidentally left something at the house after our check out and the host graciously allowed us access to retrieve those items. 10/10 we would stay again and hope to next year!

Family Getaway

My extended family came down for what might be the last time we will all get together and rented a bunch of houses near each other. This home was far and away the best place and quickie became the gathering place for all. It is spacious, clean, nicely located and the Ocean views are unmatched! We were blessed to find this place and will ABSOLUTELY return!

Fantastic spring stay

We had a wonderful time at The Pinnacle. This was our family’s second stay at this home - both trips have been fantastic. The house is well-equipped for a large group, spacious, and very comfortable. The multi-level deck and large, heated pool are exceptional, and the views from the balcony and deck can’t be beat. The hosts are gracious and responsive. We hope to be back again soon!

Great Host and House

House was absolutely fantastic, Stephanie was a great host who was readily avaiable via the VRBO app and was very accommodating. Pool and hot tub were a hit and convenience to restaurants and stores was about a mile or so. House was super clean, den furniture was really confortable. House has a lot of parking and great common areas to hang out in. Veiws are great, you just cant go wrong here!!

our stay

everything was fine...however, the outside areas especially the outside shower areas and furniture were dirty old inflatables, water bottles leaves around the pool area. Bedding and towels were incredibly shabby, sheets did not fit beds properly and pillows were honestly just bad and towels need upgrading. The overall experience was fine, management was very responsive.

Best View on the Beach

We loved this house so much we barely left the house. We spent our entire week going back and forth from the beach and pool all day. We loved being able to see the ocean from the pool area and hot tub. We also enjoyed the short walk to the pier and Sunset Slush. We had ages 4 to 82 and everyone had a great time!!!

Amazing views!

We were friends and families enjoying a week at the beach. The house is mirror image on each side and great for multi-families - two living rooms/two kitchens, single doorway between two living rooms is only connection. Plenty of space for kids and adults to be both together and separate. The pool was great- heater worked well which has not been true at some other places we have rented. Kitchens were adequately equipped. Location (~1.5 from grocery, ABC store, etc) is perfect. Easy walk down beach to pier and pier restaurant if you need a night out. Owner contact (minimal necessary for our stay) was easy and quick response.

Beautiful View & Outstanding Property / Location

We super enjoyed our stay at the Pinnacle – again! This is our favorite spot on the Crystal Coast. The house is big, beautifully decorated & accommodated. So many rooms to spread out and relax, or to enjoy each other. The main pool deck & pool are HUGE. And a hot tub with a view is so cool. Lots of beach in front of the property and the pier is a quick 30-min stroll down the beach. The location is awesome, on a quiet street yet close to many excellent restaurants & shopping. We loved biking all over. Fishing was great and the grandkids really enjoyed the night swims and crab hunts under the stars. Would highly recommend this preferred property. Enjoy!

Fabulous location for twin houses

We had a wonderful time staying at the Pinacle. The houses are airy and well maintained. The pool is superb, the beach not crowded, there are plenty of chairs, well equipped kitchens, fabulous laundry facility. Everything worked out great for our extended family of 10. If you stay, it is best to use the vacuum cleaner provided to keep the house sand free or at least as much as possible. Enjoy!

The Purple House

Our daughter got married at Emerald Isle, and we stayed at The Pinnacle for a long weekend before, during and after the wedding. It was the perfect place! There were 13 of us all ages; having two kitchens and two living areas gave us just the right amount of space! The house had everything we needed and the owner was amazing! We loved the pool and hot tub and enjoyed being outside on the deck soaking up the sun! I would highly recommend this house, and we will definitely try to rent it again when we go back down to Emerald Isle!

Pinnacle Review

Middle bathrooms upstairs as well as downstairs baths on both sides need remodeling. Cleaning is not done behind furniture. Needs to be moved. Pans need replacing. Pool people came in the middle of the week and there was no water when I went to take a shower on the East side. Shower in master bath on east side did not work at all. Spent a lot for house and not worth it. Have had better houses with more amenities for a lot less.

What More Can You Ask For?

My family decided to take a quick, early-year getaway down to Emerald Isle from Raleigh. It was one of the best decisions we’ve made in a long time. Though we were there for only a couple of days, this property truly helped us hit the reset button heading into spring! The furniture was comfortable, clean, and very relaxing; much of it seemed to be brand new. The pool was everything it was explained to be, and more. While we were there, temperatures were in the 50s and 60s, which would’ve kept us from even considering getting in the water on any other vacation. This pool’s heated feature completely changed that for us! It was the highlight of our stay. The kids spent hours in it, as did I. Just imagine audible waves crashing in the background as you stare up at the star filled sky while taking a midnight swim. As my header asks, what more can you ask for? The combination of comfort, space, amenities, and oceanfront location make this property hard to match…not to mention the cozy hometown feel of Emerald Isle itself. We’ve been to many oceanfront properties as a family, but this one is hard to match. Do yourself a favor and try it out!
