About this house rental
Seas the Day makes it easy to relax and enjoy the beautiful, pristine beaches and crystal clear waters of Emerald Isle, one of the least crowded beaches in the Southeast. (Readers Digest #1 Beach in NC in 2024)
Stay here and enjoy the entire East side of this beautiful duplex all to yourself. Privately relax on one of four decks or spend the evening on our private patio in back. Hop on the included golf cart or take a short walk or bike ride to the ocean or the sound. It’s less than a two-min walk down a quiet street with virtually no traffic to get to the private beach access for the neighborhood. There's no public parking nearby, so you don't have to share your beach paradise with crowds. A 2-min walk the other way is the public boat launch for a lovely sunset or fishing spot, and an amazing playground. If you're looking for a quiet, comfortable place for your family and friends to enjoy Emerald Isle, you are warmly welcome to stay in our home.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Seas The Day was the perfect spot for our family. Plenty of space with all the amenities, including lots of toilet paper, soap, toiletries, and even sound machines in all the rooms! Which meant I overpacked . Check-in was a breeze, and the house was clean upon arrival. It’s a well kept beach house and great location. We couldn’t ask for anything more. The owners were very communicative the whole time. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again the next time we make it to Emerald Isle.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
The property is as advertised. It's clean and comfortable and in a great location. The extra amenities (golf cart, bikes, beach items, firepit and such) are lovely touches. The host is extremely responsive and has excellent communications.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
This property included so many extras and things that we used for the beach and exploring. The kitchen is fully stocked, there's even soap in the showers and beach toys/chairs/umbrellas to use. This property did not disappoint and I am hoping to stay again in the future. It's priced really well. There's bicycles and a golf cart for getting around. It's perfectly located to enjoy the sunrise and sunset. The pier was great for sunsets, seeing crabs and fish, plus it has a playground beside it which is all walking distance. There's even a kayak to use on the property, would have liked to have 2 though. The beach is so close and so clean and quiet, perfect for watching dolphins, collecting sea shells and building sand castles or sunbathing. The water is clear and beautiful. The point isn't far and it's one of the most beautiful places to watch the sunset. Riding a bike there is worth it if you don't want to worry about parkingand then walking. It's an incredible experience. All of the shops and grocery stores are close by. The hot tub was perfect and the outdoor shower was used more than the indoor shower, so convenient and exhilarating before/ after the hot tub and sandy beach. The outdoor seating and the propane fireplace were perfect for relaxing at night. We loved the twinkle lights. Very relaxing and a perfect touch for a full relaxing experience. The way this house is set up was perfect for my family and everyone had their own space but perfect common areas and porch

Mandy was a great host. Home was just as advertised. Clean, fully equipped and quiet. Easy access to the beach. The extras - golf cart and hot tub were well cared for as well. Pleasant neighbors/neighborhood. Great stay!
