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.

We went back and forth for several weeks looking for the perfect house, to bring our family, to enjoy the beach for a few days. Seas the Day, was the PERFECT house! They have thought of everything! The younger kids enjoyed the game room and the older teens and young adults enjoyed the upstairs rooms. The main floor was perfect for hosting and gathering. The hot tub, outdoor scenery, short golf cart rides to the beach were icing on the cake. We will definitely be back! Thank you!!
