Welcome to Summer Shade. Appreciate your ideal home base for beach days, sound side sunsets, and simple coastal living! Centrally located between the beach and the sound, on one of Emerald Isle's best kept secrets, a peaceful shady street lined with live oaks. This bright and cavernous 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is ideal for families and friends looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of oceanside fun.

Step inside to find an inviting open layout with comfortable living spaces, a entirely equipped kitchen, and a dining area ideal for shared meals. Each bedroom features cozy beds and fresh, airy décor designed for restful nights after a day in the sun. A washer and dryer are available for your convenience during your stay.

When it is time to settle in you will find two comfortable queen beds in each of two bedrooms, and a third bedroom with a twin and bunkbeds, for additional sleeping needs there is a queen sleeper couch in the living room. Pack N Play is included if needed.

Outside, the appeal continues. Unwind or dine on the enormous deck, grille up your favorite meal on the gas grille, or relax in the shady backyard under the trees. Kids (and kids-at-heart) will appreciate the tree swing, while everybody can rinse off the sand in the outdoor hot/cold shower after a beach day. Anglers will appreciate the fish cleaning station for their daily catch.

Bring your kayaks, paddle boards, or boats for fast and painless access at the boat ramp just a short walk down the block. Cast a line or net from the sound access at either 11th or 13th street access.

For rainy days or evening fun, head to the basement for a little friendly competition—savor ping pong, air hockey, corn hole, or foosball in the game area.

Whether you’re starting your morning with coffee on the deck or ending your day with a sunset stroll, you’ll find everything you need for a calming and memorable stay.
