Tranquility bytheSea, CShoreBeachHome, Across from Beach onthe Sound Waterfront! CShore Beach Home, Tranquility by the Sea, is on the Water, the NC Sound across the street from the Beach. Affectionately called The Wedding Cake House! A Beautiful family home, 3200 sq ft large, and it’s only a few steps to reach the water, directly on the NC intracoastal waterway, Bogue Sound, and a short walk across the street from the white, powder sands of Emerald Isle NC beach, on the Atlantic Ocean. It’s about an hours drive to Ellis Airport OAJ, in Jacksonville NC or EWN Carolina Coastal Regional Airport in New Bern, NC. There are four lovely bedrooms, master bedroom downstairs on the main level, two and a half bathrooms and an outside shower, with large closets, laundry room, storage and pantry spaces. A Charcoal grill is available, beach supplies room, beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, plus two picnic tables, flat screen tv, many games and lots of reading materials for all ages. The Third story cupola enjoys a complete wrap around porch with awe inspiring sound and ocean views and a comfy daybed. This is a birders haven as the pier is on pilings and is a sanctuary for an abundant variety of sea loving feathered friends, especially pelicans. The Pier is not repaired or able to be walked on. The Main level has a complete, on all 4 sides of the house, wrap around porch and amazing sunsets and sunrises with comfortable captains chairs, rocking chairs and a picnic table facing the Sound. The Kitchen boasts a cozy breakfast nook with seating for four plus 6 bar stool seating around the central island counter. There are two Picnic tables and charcoal grill onsite. One picnic table is on the porch and one is on the ground level beside the garage. There are beach toys, chairs and beach umbrellas available to use. The Laundry room is available on the ground level by the carport. Please do not lock the laundry or beach supplies doors, keep them unlocked even when you leave. Four Lovely bedrooms, with the Master Bedroom and bath is downstairs on the main level.

Emerald Isle Sea Turtle nesting and watching is another favorite beach activity. Walking, jogging, sunbathing and fishing on the beach, and at the sound, a water sports facility is a short jaunt away. There is a sidewalk that runs to Indian Beach and all the way into the town of Emerald Isle. The house is Close to both Atlantic Beach and the Town of Emerald Isle. We have a Well equipped kitchen and bathrooms. The house is on the sound side with direct access, a few steps from the house to the Sound for bird, fish jumping and dolphin viewing.

To access the beach is a short walk across the street, to the right is the public beach access at the 3rd Street Park Public Access with with wheelchair ramp, picnic table and car parking. To the left is the Second Street Public Access walkway to the beach. We enjoy viewing and hearing the ocean from the main porch and 3rd story cupola, both with full wrap around porches.

It was perfect for our family vacation. Plenty of room and only a short walk to the beach. We sat on the back porch every night and watched the beautiful sunset. We would definitely come back. The only con was there are tons of sand spurs so make sure you have on shoes while you’re outside. ##### Kha R. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica H.

Jun 12, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Classic Beach house Perfectly located in the middle of the isle with easy access to the beach just 2 blocks away. The house has plenty of sleep space. I chose what I call the lighthouse room on the top floor with great views of the sound and ocean. The house is a little dated and could use some repairs with the loose deck railing and rusted spigots but overall, a comfortable stay. Thank you for making it available for my family's weekend getaway! ##### Sean L. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcia M. Jun 13, 2018 #### Relaxing, great views, wonderful stay! We stayed at Cshore with our 2 adult children and their spouses. The house had plenty of room and included interesting spaces for us to each get off to ourselves or gather together. We enjoyed the peaceful back porch for breakfasts and the great views of both the Sound and the Ocean from the cupola and upper deck. We brought several games, but found there were several in the house already. The huge flat-screen TV was an unexpected treat! The house was very clean, the kitchen was well-supplied, there were plenty of towels and linens, and we even found some beach chairs we could take to the beach just a short distance away. In early June there weren't many people on the beach, and we spent some time each day swimming and beach coming (lots of pretty shells!). The outdoor shower was a big plus - clean and plenty of hot water. It was also great being so close to the bike path as we were able to rent bikes and ride for about 17 miles one day! There were a few very small issues which didn't bother our stay but which I notified the owner about. I'm sure Mary will take care of them as she was very responsive both before and during our stay. Everyone in the family said this is the best vrbo property I have ever rented! We highly recommend it! ##### Marcia M. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Autumn K. Jun 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Location Location, location, location! Beautiful views of the sound and short walk across the street to the beach. Very clean! Basic essentials on property- towels, linens, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, dish soap. Nice not to have to pack/ buy those things. 15 minutes to most everything- restaurants, shops, grocery store, etc. Nice beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, sand toys in storage room. Not having a useable Pier was disappointing, but my husband made it work and was able to fish/crab anyway. Kitchenware could be replaced as it was dated and just a basic cable tv package would be a nice upgrade. No Wi-Fi. So if that is must, this place won’t do unless you have a hotspot. We replaced evening TV watching (only a few channels) with watching the sunset instead which was beautiful and then played card games with the kids. May want to bring some extra games along, just a few under the TV. All in all, a great stay and has everything thing you need! PS: Also, highly recommend the banana boat ride at Island Water Sports —a 5 minute walk, 1 minute drive away! Laughs the entire ride!! ##### Autumn K.

Sep 17, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Pier had disappeared House was fairly clean. Bedding was wonderful. Many ceiling lights were out. Exhaust fan in 2nd floor bath didn't work. Looked great but most furniture was very very old and at end of useful life. VRBO listing said enjoy wildlife viewing from pier. There is no pier. This was not due to a recent storm event. We would have liked to have been able to put in kayaks as planned. Almost every house up and down coast has a pier. Pictures showed a pier at this house. This house only has collapsed pilings where a pier might have been years ago. Also cable tv was not provided as advertised. It was only antenna tv. Mostly 1960's old tv series shows like Bonanza and Hawaii 50\. Was told internet was via hot spot from cell phone. We had AT&T, Verizon and t mobile phones and no joy. This house needs to be brought up to date from 1980's. ##### ann a. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laureen M.

It had plenty of space and absolutely everything that we needed. The location was perfect. The view from the house, of the inter-coastal, was so pretty. The ocean was just 3 minutes away. We loved the board games :-) We couldn't have had a better time. ##### Laureen M. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth F. Aug 11, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Surrounded with Views! Going on vacation during a Pandemic with an active hurricane watch for the area could have ended badly but my friends and I are adventurous and Mary was so communicative putting us at ease so we headed to this delightful property despite the possibility that we might have to evacuate part way through the week. Mary generously allowed us to check in early and stayed in touch throughout the week whenever I had questions. When we noticed that the air conditioning downstairs wasn't very cold it was fixed after one quick phone call. Someone came right over right away. We lost power in the hurricane but it was back on within a few hours. We loved the decks for watching sunsets, birds, jumping fish and even stormy weather! There was plenty of outdoor deck furniture including a table with benches and lots of rocking chairs. One guy caught some shrimp in the Sound with a net and cooked them up for us! This place would be terrific for anyone who loves to fish! Bring water shoes if you want to swim in the sound as it is rocky. It was a short walk across the street to reach a beautiful, uncrowded beach. There is a place right down the street to rent Kayaks, Paddle boards etc. The beds were comfortable, the house was very clean, the kitchen was well equip with everything from coffee filters, foil and paper products to cooking utensils, bowls, plates, mugs and pots etc. We managed with four people bringing in groceries to make it work with everyone's special diets. There are many restaurants within a short drive to choose from and we did eat out for most dinners. The enclosed outdoor shower was terrific when we came back from the beach, nice hot water! I have stayed at many rental homes and this one gets an A+ for views, nature, comfort and outdoor space! ##### Beth F. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2020 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Amy P. Jun 22, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great Location on the sound with easy access to beach across the street. The house was clean, comfy beds, with easy access to the beach across the street. We met a fantastic neighbor, Steve, who was extremely helpful. There were many positives about the house but also a some negatives. The house is marketed to sleep 8-10 people however there is no where for a family larger than 4 to eat a meal. The kitchen table seats 4, there are counter stools but no overhang to sit at the counter. There is a huge, beautiful covered deck facing the water that would be perfect for a table/chairs set. We traveled 12+ hours to get there so asked if they provided beach chairs, there were only 3 cheap, functional chairs; No Grilling utensils; Ice maker didn't work;1 garbage can, No recycling, No wine glasses, No Internet. Overall we had a great time because we had other family members that rented 4 other houses in the immediate area. In my opinion, the things I mentioned as negatives should be standard in a beach rental. ##### Amy P. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane S. Jun 13, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very cozy and relaxing. We truly enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean and very comfortable. We loved the 3rd floor perch where we could see both the ocean and the sound. We especially enjoyed the huge back porch right overlooking the sound, where we had our morning coffee and the teens played card games. ##### Diane S.

Aug 22, 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Stay Loved this spot because the area was quiet and the house was close to the beach. The views from the house were wonderful and the top level and back porch were a favorite hang out spot for my family. The accommodations of the house were great. Comfy beds, enough extra linens and towels when needed. Be cautious of the area leading to the sound. There are some plants that had thorny balls, kind of like small briars, so I'd watch out for those when walking around the area. Overall, the place is great and the owners were very prompt with communication. ##### der h. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsey W. Aug 20, 2018 #### Wonderfully charming and great for the price! Perfect location!! The views were stunning!! There were some minor cosmetic things that needed attention - and a TON of poison ivy in the yard/bushes. But overall the house was wonderful. The beds were amazingly comfy. It was very well stocked and the owner responded to our questions very quickly! I definitely recommend this house for your family vacation! ##### Lindsey W. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### mary lydia V. Aug 14, 2018 #### wedding cake beach house The house location on the sound and across the street from the beach was perfect. Everyone was thrilled with the views. The house itself is in need of repairs but it didn't distract from our enjoyment. I would suggest removing the junk from many of the cupboards so that the renters have space to place their food. We were blessed with perfect weather which greatly added to our enjoyment. ##### mary lydia V. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Leah Y. Aug 9, 2018 #### Cozy house! We enjoyed the size and location of the house! A few things noted and would make the house even better is if the pier was fixed as well as we observed the electricity on the very top floor was not working!! Great for the price!! ##### Leah Y. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole L. Jun 30, 2018 #### Loved the wrap around porch and third floor porch Plenty of room for the whole family ##### Nicole L. Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Walt P. Jun 22, 2018 #### Good Bargain Rental Overall enjoyed our stay at the CShore rental. The interior was well laid out and maintained, with plenty of linens and dishes. The wrap around deck was a big plus, and the upstairs deck view was very nice. Atlantic beach access was very close, just a short walk across the street. The property exterior has not been well maintained, and the deck could certainly use some work. Overall though it was a good value for a family style stay. The area is family friendly. ##### Walt P. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2018 Archival ### 8/10 Good #### Edward L. Aug 13, 2017 #### Worked well for our stay Some aspects were not ideal. The shower for rinsing off from the beach was not working right, but there was a spigot that we used. As mentioned before by other reviews, the dining arrangement is not as comfortable as most places we have rented. Otherwise the house served well as a base for enjoying the Crystal Coast of North Carolina. The wrap around porch was especially nice on the rainy days. There were more than adequate linens, the kitchen was functional, and there were no safety or health issues. Not luxurious but functional would be my summary. ##### Edward L.
