There is something special about a beach house that feels just as good inside as it does out, and 103 Georgia Street is one of those homes. Tucked along a quiet street just three rows from the ocean, this beautifully renovated Emerald Isle home pairs ocean views and incredible outdoor living with a warm, custom interior that feels anything but ordinary. The heart of the home is upstairs, where the kitchen and living spaces come together beneath a wall of large windows that fills the room with natural light and keeps the ocean in view. Renovated just two years ago, the stunning custom kitchen was designed to be both beautiful and functional, with quartz countertops, gorgeous cabinetry, an oversized pantry and plenty of space for everyone to gather. Craftsman-style molding, thoughtfully chosen wallpaper and warm finishes give the home character, while the added wood beam and wood-burning fireplace framed in shiplap, makes the living room feel just as inviting on a cool winter evening as it does with the windows full of summer sunshine. Step outside and the living space continues. The decks were expanded to an impressive 10 feet deep, giving you room for dining, lounging and gathering while taking in the ocean views and salt air. A screened porch creates another favorite spot to settle in, whether it is morning coffee, an afternoon in the shade or dinner outside after a day on the beach. The bedroom level carries the same attention to detail, with new windows and a beautifully updated primary suite. The primary bath feels like its own little retreat with heated floors and a custom tile shower and vanity, while the craftsman molding and carefully selected finishes continue throughout the home. And this house has more to discover downstairs. A separate one-bedroom apartment (300 sqft, not included in heated sqft) with its own kitchen and living area gives guests or extended family a comfortable space of their own. The oversized two-car garage offers plenty of room for vehicles, bikes and beach gear, and the heated and cooled workshop is a rare bonus for anyone who wants dedicated space for projects, hobbies or storage. Even the backyard has its own surprise, with a charming she shed tucked away as a creative space, garden retreat or quiet escape. A new metal roof in 2025 adds to the list of substantial improvements already completed. What makes 103 Georgia Street stand out is how well all of these spaces work together. It has the ocean views and oversized decks you want in an Emerald Isle beach house, but also the craftsmanship, warmth and thoughtful renovation that make it feel like home. From mornings on the porch to evenings around the fireplace, this is a place designed to be enjoyed in every season.

Situated on an exceptionally wide 115-foot lot, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath soundfront home offers a sense of space, privacy, and connection to the water that is increasingly difficult to find in Emerald Isle. Out back, a well-maintained bulkhead and private small basin frame the shoreline, with expansive views across the marsh, Bogue Sound, and toward the Intracoastal Waterway. The covered screened porch may quickly become your favorite feature in the house. As the sun begins to set, watch shrimp jump along the marsh, drum splash at the water's edge, and dolphins make their way through the Sound. It's the kind of peaceful coastal setting that invites you to sit a little longer and simply enjoy the view. Inside, the home is bright and inviting with an open living area that keeps the natural surroundings close at hand. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, newer appliances, white cabinetry, and a spacious peninsula, while hardwood flooring brings warmth to the main living space.

Third row to the ocean on Gregg Street, 102 Gregg Street offers what buyers search hardest for on Emerald Isle: real ocean views, a short walk to beach access, and a proven track record as a producing vacation rental. I've watched this stretch of the island hold its value through every cycle over 38 years, and a property like this shows why. Three bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath make up the confirmed layout, with septic permitting a 3-bedroom single-family use. Two additional flexible rooms give you space for an office, den, game room, or overflow living that doesn't count against the bedroom total. 2,042 heated square feet sits on a 75' x 113' lot, with wraparound decks built for sunrise and sunset views in every season. Inside, tile runs throughout with heated flooring in key areas, and dimmable LED recessed lighting carries through every room. A high-end Mitsubishi mini-split HVAC system lets you set custom temperatures room by room, controlled onsite or remotely, with consistency across every level. The Ikea kitchen offers serious storage with lighted, soft-close cabinets and drawers, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a glass cooktop with hood, and a farmhouse sink with touchless faucet and reverse osmosis filtration. Both full bathrooms feature lighted antifog mirrors, glass-enclosed showers, and rain showerheads. The primary bedroom includes an adjustable bed and lighted Ikea his-and-hers closets with soft-close doors and drawers. This home is built for the coast. Ice and rain barrier on the roof, spray foam insulation in the walls and attic, DP-55 windows and sliding doors, and Bahama shutters add both storm protection and style. The water heater has a decalcifier installed. Yale smart locks secure all exterior doors and locked closets, controllable locally or remotely, and a Ring camera covers the property. Step outside to a private oasis: a pergola with seating surrounded by louvered walls for privacy, two outdoor showers, and a 13' swim spa heated for year-round use. A climate-controlled workshop and a separate shed round out the exterior, giving you real storage and workspace most island properties don't offer. The home is being sold fully furnished, with a few exclusions, and is ready for immediate occupancy. Currently operating as Bluewater Vacation Rentals' ''Emerald Isle Lookout,'' it has produced verified gross rental income of $49,048 in 2026, $49,557 in 2025, $44,273 in 2024, and $63,894 in 2023, giving buyers real performance history rather than a projection. Under the North Carolina Vacation Rental Act, confirmed reservations falling within 180 days of settlement convey to the buyer, so a new owner steps into existing bookings rather than starting the rental calendar from zero. It's all about location when it comes to owning at Emerald Isle. This highly elevated 3rd row lot sits in an X Flood Zone so no flood insurance is required (optional by owner).

Peaceful views of Bogue Sound, on a 0.42-acre homesite, and the freedom of no HOA make this beautifully maintained custom home a rare opportunity in Archers Point. As the morning sun rises over Bogue Sound, neighbors greet one another while walking their dogs, children playing outside, and the peaceful atmosphere reminds you why Emerald Isle is such a special place to call home. Built on an elevated foundation for coastal living, this 2,568-square-foot custom home offers three bedrooms, three full baths, and a spacious reverse floor plan designed to capture the beauty of the Sound. The upper deck became my observatory. With a star-finder app and the relatively low background lighting, many evenings were spent identifying constellations, planets, and other celestial wonders. It is also the perfect place to enjoy the sunrise, relax with a cup of coffee, or simply listen to nature. Deer, squirrels, butterflies, and seasonal frogs are all part of the natural beauty that surrounds this property. The home has been meticulously maintained with new exterior paint, newly stained decks, refinished hardwood floors, a whole-house water filtration system, tankless water heater, oversized two-car garage, and durable cement fiber exterior. One of the unique advantages of the property is its outstanding potential for a future swimming pool. After meeting with the City Planner to review the property and the applicable CAMA requirements, I was encouraged to learn that the three immediately adjacent properties had all met those requirements and successfully built their pools. Just minutes from Emerald Isle's beaches are restaurants, shopping, festivals, and the island's popular bike path, this home offers the perfect balance of coastal living and everyday convenience. Within almost walking distance sits the NC Wildlife Public Boat Ramp for those who enjoy fishing or riding the waves. A beautifully refurbished golf cart is included with an acceptable full-price offer, making it even easier to enjoy everything Emerald Isle has to offer.

Completely Reimagined Coastal Retreat at Point Emerald Villas! Rarely does a residence at Point Emerald Villas come to market with this level of thoughtful renovation and custom detail. D102 has been completely reimagined from top to bottom, creating a sophisticated yet relaxed coastal retreat in one of Emerald Isle's most desirable gated oceanfront communities. Originally redesigned by the owners as their own long-term second home, no detail was overlooked in creating a residence that feels more like a custom coastal home than a typical condominium. The renovation went far beyond cosmetic updates. Walls were removed to create a more open, inviting floor plan, ceilings were raised, and virtually every finish was thoughtfully selected and replaced. From the custom cabinetry and built-in storage to the designer lighting, doors, hardware, countertops, flooring, tile and beautifully remodeled bathrooms, every space has been transformed with both style and function in mind. The main living area is designed for gathering, featuring an electric fireplace, custom built-ins, a charming built-in dining banquette and an effortless connection to the spacious shaded deck. Ocean views can be enjoyed from the living area, primary suite and deck, while coastal breezes and the sound of the waves create the unmistakable feeling of island living. The three-bedroom, three-full-bath layout offers wonderful flexibility for family and guests, while the first-floor location makes coming and going from the beach especially convenient. Offered fully furnished and truly turn-key, D102 is ready to be enjoyed from the moment you arrive. Point Emerald Villas offers direct beach access along with community pool, tennis and pickleball courts, grilling areas, kayak and paddle board storage and the privacy of a gated oceanfront setting. This is not simply an updated condo it is a beautifully redesigned coastal home where the hard work has already been done. Come experience D102 and discover an exceptional opportunity to enjoy Emerald Isle in style.
