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!

It was an amazing weekend with our son getting married. We hosted a breakfast for family and was pleased with a full kitchen stocked on both sides. The location and the view are outstanding. The house needs some bathroom upgrade, but other than that we were very pleased with our stay at Pinnacle.

This was a family trip with our grown children and grandchildren. The views from the living room deck and upper decks were amazing. The kitchen was well equipped with many of the essentials and then some. Pool and surrounding deck was awesome. Despite a couple of hiccups with the pool and hot tub heat (which were corrected within minutes of contacting the host Stephanie) everyone truly enjoyed those amenities. Thank you for allowing us to share and make wonderful memories at The Pinnacle!

This home's location was perfect and the home accommodated my large family of children, grandchildren and me. We celebrated Thanksgiving with walks on the beach, some beach football, warming up in the hot tub and of course, turkey and all the fixins'. Plenty of room for my whole crew. Couldn't ask for a better spot. We hadn't been to Emerald Isle for a very long time so we enjoyed seeing all the changes.

This is a beautiful property. Plenty of room to accommodate our eleven adults and one grandchild. The pool and hot tub got a lot of use through the week. Both were clean and well maintained. Deck space was plenty for our group to spread out. Great ocean view and nice, clean beach. The two kitchens was a nice plus (especially the two refrigerators- one for food, one for beverages. Would happily stay here again.

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!

"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.

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, clean and spacious, perfect for groups

I stayed with a few friends for a spiritual retreat, and this house was perfect. Owners were very kind, responsive, and accommodating. The house was clean and spacious, with two kitchens and two living rooms that connect via a door, which enabled us to have separate gatherings and conversations when we wanted. The pool was heated! The best part was the view of and access to the beach. I’ve stayed at oceanfront homes but none with such close views of the waves and quick access to the beach. We hope to come back soon! 10/10.

Great owner and property management support!!

This was the 2nd time staying here and it did not disappoint once again. House has tons of room, lots of parking and the views are incredible. Unfortunately, 1 of the units had a mechanical failure on one of the upstairs AC's but the property management effort and immediate response was spot on the money. They made things right, they stayed and worked until we were happy. The unit was repaired ASAP and communication was A. No complaints whatsoever and would love the opportunity to stay here again!!
