About this property

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

2024 -- SHIBUMI, 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, perfect 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 East 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 and a shibumi 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.

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

Emerald Isle summerplace heaven

We have stayed in this house every year for approximately 25 years and continue to love it! The most recent new owners Amanda and Rick have done wonderful things updating everything! It’s a great place for family gatherings. Weather, house, beach, ocean and stars at night were just perfect! See you next year!

Perfect!

Our party of 5 adults fit perfectly with extra room! Right on the beach with a short drive to stores. It was very quiet and the washer/dryer was a big plus! Communication with the owners was quick. Very accommodating! The beach was not crowded, it felt like we had a private beach! Beds were very comfortable and both decks were very roomy with great views on the second floor! Three bedrooms faced the ocean too! We will be back yearly!

Home at the Beach

Summerplace East is a very homey place and Amanda is a great host (she put up with my craziness!) The house was very cozy and we all loved walking out onto the deck and right on the boardwalk and only a few stairs to the beach. The beds are very comfortable and there are many extra pillows to use. Our special needs son was even able to move around the house easily. My only concern was using the laundry facilities at night as there wasn't light from the stairs to the laundry door, but we used a flashlight, otherwise the place was perfect and I hope to use it again next year. Thank you Amanda!!

Excellent Location!

This house is steps from the beach and has a large outdoor area with adequate seating for dining out. There are 2 outdoor showers which really helps if you have young children. We just took the shampoo outside! The house is older but spacious and very clean with all of the amenities you will need. Air conditioning works great! I would definitely recommend.

Cute beach house!

This house is very clean and nicely decorated. I always try to leave places cleaner than I find them but the only thing I found to clean up was the game box! I think this would be a tight fit for 9 people.

What a wonderful experience this was. First vacation this year for any of our family and this was the perfect place to gather. The property was clean, well equipped and comfortable. Amanda Haskins, the property owner is great to work with and made sure we were comfortable. If you are looking for a place to spend some great rest, relaxation, and beach time —- pick this one. We are talking about maybe renting both sides for a full family reunion next spring.
