Keystone West West - Emerald Isle Paradise

Beautiful 4 bedroom, 3and 1/2 bath half duplex sitting right on the beach. Nothing to do here except relax and enjoy the sea breezes from either of our 2 decks. Direct access to the beach and full backyard as an added bonus but great for yard games and to keep the little ones entertained when you have had enough beach time.

Renovations as of June 2023 include new flooring throughout and all bathrooms updated. Top floor has amazing views from great room, open kitchen and large deck. Dining room table seats 8 plus 4 bar stools at kitchen island. Additionally, top floor also has queen bedroom with smart TV and full bath with shower.

Middle level provides a queen bedroom with smart TV, twin room with 2 beds (with 1 trundle bed) and shared hall bathroom with walk in shower. Also on the middle level, master bedroom has direct access to deck facing the ocean. Master has 2 closets and TV with cable. Master bath includes dual vanity, soaking tub with separate shower. Full size washer and dryer on second level.

First level family room provides extra living space with cable TV in case of a rainy day or extra guests with a pull out couch and half bath. Outdoor shower, covered picnic table and grilling area, and plenty of parking round out what this home has to offer.

The house is also close to stores, restaurants, aquarium, mini-golf courses and the Emerald Isle pier. Don t miss out on staying at this little slice of paradise!

Amazing beachfront home. Layout functioned extremely well for our family. Well stocked kitchen. Beautiful decor, comfortable furniture, beautifully updated bathrooms. This property was so clean and the linen service was great. The sheets were not the typical "hospital grade rough" sheets, and the bathtowels were fluffy and absorbant. Overall, it was possibly one of the best properties we've stayed at throughout the southern coast of North Carolina. We were so happy we booked again for next year! Thank you for opening your gorgeous home to us!

Exactly what is expected

Everything was exactly as listed, that close to the beach you cant get all the sand out in between guests, awesome communication between owner and property management company. The neighbors that own the other half were pleasant and friendly.

Perfect beach getaway in spite of a little bad weather! House was clean with a great layout for our young family. Short walk through the backyard to the beach- extremely convenient bathroom in the basement when needing a quick pit stop. We will definitely be back!
