If you're looking for convenience to the beach, water vistas, direct water access, a hot tub, outdoor shower, and privacy in a well-appointed beach home, Angels Landing is your kind of place! And, if you have a well-behaved and clean four-legged friend who you’d really like to savor your vacation with, we’ll allow him or her, too! (Dogs must be pre-approved by owners; a pet fee applies). Emerald Isle is dog friendly; they’re even allowed on the beach year-round and at nearly all outdoor eateries!

Our well maintained and appreciated bungalow rests on a one-lane, tree-lined street that dead ends at a court overlooking the handsome Bogue Sound. The Sound is also partly visible from the bungalow's front yard and living room. The bungalow driveway is right off the court and has ample private parking.

Beach fans will adore how convenient the sand and warm ocean waters are from Angels Landing. Two different beach access points are a short walk or a 2-min. bicycle ride. The beach is such a short distance that it won’t be a problem to dash home for lunch, supplies, and naps, or to head back to the beach in the evening to witness sunsets that will take your breath away (see our photos for an example). Our south-facing beach has impressive sunsets and features warm waters during an extended May through October/November swim season.

Our bungalow also sits on a canal that leads out to Bogue Sound. And new this year, a huge private dock! Launch your own kayaks, paddleboards, and canoes -- and use the two kayaks that we provide for adult use!

Back on land, our home features a giant 20x25 foot deck that includes a 6-person hot tub. The deck faces south, so it's ideal for sunbathing. Prefer the shade? The deck overlooks a private backyard that is shaded by mature Live Oak trees. Unwind on the dock or appreciate naps on a hammock under the trees. The deck is also ideal when the sun sets. It’s peaceful and the view is spectacular on clear nights if you look up! Suggestion: turn off the lights and look up at the stars from the deck. The lack of light pollution at this part of the island makes for a spectacular nighttime sky.

Under the deck you'll find a sizable, new outdoor shower that overlooks the backyard's enormous Live Oak trees and canal. Shower outdoors and enjoy a impressive view of nature! And out front, you'll find a huge outdoor storage container with some beach chairs, some beach toys, a body board, and a skim board!

Inside, the well-equipped kitchen includes various gadgets that cooks will adore, a full-sized microwave and dishwasher, a Keurig machine, standard coffee maker, toaster, crock pot, and other tools of the trade, along with a collection of spices. The adjacent dining area seats six and overlooks the deck through a huge sliding door. We also provide a gas grille with ample gas and grilling silverware.

The family room has tons seating so for gathering comfortably. Savor conversation, games (we provide many!), the 65-inch QLED HDTV with a subscription to YouTube TV (like cable, but better!) and other streaming services. Appreciate the high-speed, wireless, encrypted internet access powered by a new Wi-Fi 6 router. We provide a peaceful, comfortable desk work space in one of the upstairs bedrooms, should you need to participate in a virtual meeting.

The bungalow offers three nice-sized bedrooms. The main bedroom is on the ground level and features a king bed with a new, high-end hybrid bed and a sizable HDTV. The main bedroom has its own bathroom with a large, step-in shower and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, the two large bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bathroom with a full tub and shower. The first upstairs room has a queen bed, a large HDTV, and a private walk-in closet. The second upstairs bedroom has a queen bed and a twin bunkbed, plus another HDTV. There's even a second upstairs walk-in closet adjoining the upstairs bath that has games and other toys that guests are complimentary to enjoy. Bed linens and bath towels are included and all beds will be made when you arrive (who wants to arrive at a vacation home and start making beds, right?!).

Like to discover, shop, or go out to eat? You’ll appreciate Emerald Isle! It’s an ideal beach town with many locally-owned eateries and seafood markets, stores, grocery stores, a movie theater, massage and nail salons, and other fun places to discover. The island offers a fishing pier, tennis courts, playgrounds, a wide bicycle path, and an economical water park that’s ideal for kids. The bridge to the mainland and all it has to offer is only 3 miles from the bungalow. We’ll have recommendations and resources for you to read about and access when you arrive and will provide some other useful info ahead of time, after you book. Our bungalow is ideally located because you get tranquility and peaceful when you want but is also close to the island’s stores and the mainland. The bungalow is a convenient drive from tons of close by towns to discover: Swansboro, Atlantic Beach, Morehead City, and Beaufort!
