OCEAN PANORAMA: Beachfront, quiet, & pet friendly home with gorgeous ocean views

Feel at home at the beach! Enjoy the beautiful views of the Atlantic from our back porch, pool, and hot tub; bring your pets, family, and friends! Don't let the photos fool you, we are ocean front and just a short walk down a boardwalk to the beach. Our home is located mid-island, a short drive to Emerald Isle proper. Enjoy the short walk through the the Theodore Roosevelt Nature Preserve to quiet, semi-private white beaches. While this quiet location does boast a secluded beach experience; you’ll stay current with our complimentary High-speed Spectrum WiFi internet access. Our fully furnished home features an open kitchen/living space, three full bathrooms, including master bed/bath with a king sized bed. Full and twin bed in one bedroom, with a queen in the other (linens provided). Savor the comfort of covered and open decks with great views of the Atlantic, island, and sound. Amenities include: enclosed hot/cold outside shower, charcoal grill, carport, dishwasher, washer/dryer, two cable TVs including large 60” flat screen in living area with plenty of seating!

Monthly rental rates available upon request.

Check in and out is Saturday during the normal season. Due to VRBO's new cancelation policy I was forced to restrict bookings to those days; however, in the off season we can offer alternative check in/out days, so feel free to inquire.

Fabulous views!

This was our second time staying at Ocean Panorama. The house is in a great location. The views are amazing. We all enjoyed the pool area and hot tub as well as the beach. The house is stocked with almost everything we needed. The owner is great at communication. It was hard to leave.

Respite before wedding...

We were looking for a week of R&R before our daughter's wedding the following weekend. Liked the location and view most of all -- lots of birds on the beach and in the reserve. Quiet neighbors and relatively few people on the beach. Nice to have the pool and hot tub as the ocean was pretty rough during our stay. Great beach walks. Host was quick to respond when we had question/issue with the hot tub. House is as advertised.

The views were gorgeous and the location to the beach was perfect, private yet very accessible. The pool was a huge part of our rental decision, and it did not disappoint. The inside of house could use some help but overall we had a relaxing vacation.
