About this property

Oceanfront Sanctuary-Relax & Recharge-5BR 3BA -Great Island Location!


Our oceanfront home is a sanctuary-a place to relax, unwind, and rejuvenate. No better way to start your day than to listen to the waves & feel the ocean breezes!

Each room has been uniquely styled in cool calming colors-Nothing takes away from the Atlantic ocean with all its ever changing colors of ocean & sky!

Our home is set up with a reverse floor plan to maximize the view-triple deck doors, window allow views from many sides. The main living area on the top floor includes comfy seating, dining area for 8 plus 2 at our dolphin table , and fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances.. A queen bedroom with ocean view plus tub/shower combo are on this floor too.

The middle floor hosts the oceanfront master bedroom with en suite bath complete with Jacuzzi tub, separate shower and gorgeous oceanview from the tub.

There are 2 other bedrooms on this floor-both with queen beds. Each bedroom has an ocean view. Another bath is on this floor with tub/shower combo.

The first floor has our welcoming foyer, washer & dryer in its own closet and fifth bedroom with bunk beds and daybed/trundle bed combo.

The top oceanfront deck outside the main living area has a bistro dining table with 4 chairs. The top deck also has 2 rockers & 2 lounge chairs. The second deck outside the oceanfront master bedroom also has Adirondack chairs to sit in and watch the waves & feel the ocean breezes-so cozy!

Did we mention the oceanfront outdoor shower area-like none other! We have a sitting area with 2 rockers, & unique flower garden area plus you can hear the ocean waves as you shower! Great place to clean up after leaving the beach. (foot wash available on the private walkway too)

Since we are a duplex, we have designated parking for 4-5 cars (one car garage). Charcoal grill, a few beach chairs, & kids' beach toys are stored here for your use as well.

The main living area has a 50" smart TV. The master bedroom has its own 43"smart TV. Free high-speed WiFi is installed for your use too.

We are located directly on the Atlantic Ocean with spectacular views of sunrises in the east and sunsets in the west. No Wake Zone East provides all the needed amenities plus those that only God can provide . . . again the sunrises and sunsets, the smell of the salt air, gorgeous waves, soft sand, pelican fly-overs, and the bountiful and unique shells that wash up on shore.

Every time of the year is special and there is no bad day at the beach. We've enjoyed the strong winds and powerful waves during tropical storms, the awesome hot days of summer, and the relaxing cool days of autumn. The mere sound of the ocean waves brings a calmness to weary travelers. It's nice to go to sleep and wake up to the steady rhythm of the Atlantic Ocean.

Within Walking Distance of Restaurants, Ice Cream, Mini-Golf, Shopping, Bike & Kayak Rentals, Fishing Pier.

We have been a part of the VRBO rental program since 2010. Check out No Wake Zone West VRBO #337702

Charley & I have enjoyed Emerald Isle for many years. It's always been a retreat for us-to relax and to just focus on the truly important things in life. We invite you to do the same . . .

Relaxing, low key vacation

Great location, well appointed house with all of the household items and beach needs for your family to enjoy a beautiful week at the beach. Owners are very attentive, and helpful to ensure you have a great vacation. House is situated in a community that allows for an evening walk, walkable to restaurants, ice cream shops and the fishing pier. You won’t be disappointed with your stay here or Emerald Isle. We would recommend No Wake Zone East!

Great location!

We loved the location of the house. It was great to be able to run up to the house to grab forgotten items or lunch. It was also an easy walk to many shops and restaurants. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun family vacation home at the beach

Perfect combo of luxury and comfort!

This property is in a prime location. It is close to shopping and restaurants and entertainment. The beachfront view is incredible. You feel like you are on the beach just sitting on the deck or in the living room. It is easy to watch the kids from the deck says grandma.The owner is instantly available and will be at your beck and call if anything is needed for your stay. She came by to introduce herself and was so helpful during our stay. We had a wonderful family vacation of 9 people which will hold some beautiful memories. Thank you Debbie! Your home is beautiful, luxurious, and comfortable.

Great stay for family beach week

I booked this property for my immediate and extended family and everything was wonderful. The place was very clean, had all the amenities we needed and was the right size for all 11 of us. It was close to shopping and restaurants as well. Our host, Debby, was wonderful. She explained everything about the property to us in person upon our arrival and even brought us a plate of home made brownies! Definitely recommend and will be booking again in the future.

Everything We Wanted

We were very happy with this home - wonderful view and proximity to an uncrowded beach. Home was clean, kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable and everything was freshly updated. Minor quibbles were glitches with a couple of appliances, which the owner quickly resolved, and no sand toys, but we were able to retrieve our own from home. We would definitely stay here again! Everyone loved the large living room window!

GREAT FIND ON Emerald Isle!

House has recently been refurbished and it shows but although it's HUGE it doesn't feel like a stiff McMansion....you have the character, can treat you and many friends/family to luxury accommodations and let your cares drift into the ocean at your door front! Home owner was amazing and like your going to the beach to visit grandma who surprised you with homemade brownies! Couldn't recommend this place more and am so grateful homeowner accommodated us for a last minute peak season booking.

Family vacation

Very pretty, newly decorated home close to everything. We rented a golf cart as well which added an extra element to the trip. Adults and kids all enjoyed our stay and especially enjoyed waking up to the view every day. Kitchen was especially well stocked for a rental! Hostess was super responsive and helpful to questions about local spots.

Excellent view and location!

What a view! This house is located in the heart of Emerald Isle which makes getting to and from everything very easy. The view of the ocean more than makes up for the smaller bedrooms and lack of bathroom on the 1st floor. We had 2 families staying here for a total of 11 people and everyone had a bed to sleep in. The bunk room which is on the 1st floor had to share a bathroom with 2 other rooms on the 2nd floor. Since it was all kids it worked out ok, but it was still tight. The kids loved the outside shower so that worked out well. We had a serious problem with the dishwasher while we were there and with 11 people it was quite a hassle. We also had an issue working the thermostat but the owner was very prompt in responding and we finally figured it out. We were worried about staying in a duplex, we’ve never stayed in one before, but we never heard them at all, only saw them coming and going from the shared walkway to the beach. All in all we had a wonderful week enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean. You won’t be disappointed if you book here. -The Ellis and Lloyd Families from Durham and Raleigh

Almost perfect

Clean, open and airy, with a great view and location, our only complaint, which the owner admitted and somewhat compensated, was low water pressure, which prevented proper operation of the dishwasher. But everyone agreed, nonetheless, that we thoroughly enjoyed the setting and accommodations. Assuming that the one problem is addressed, we would recommend it and would return.
