About this house rental

The Town of Emerald Isle lies on Bogue Banks, the southernmost island of the North Carolina Outer Banks. Our house is located at the secluded western end of the island known as 'The Point'.

It is a 4-bedroom, 3.5 bath home on a corner lot. with hardwood, tile and carpeted floors, Anderson windows, four Covered Decks (2 upper decks with Porch Furniture, front lower deck with 2 porch swings). Directv with high speed internet access.

The double carport on the ground level is deep enough to accommodate four cars. On the rear of the house, under the lower deck, there is a tiled patio with a swing and patio furniture, and 4-burner gas grill. It is a great place to relax while watching others play 'kick-the-can' or while preparing the 'daily catch' on the grill. Adjacent to the patio is a private, enclosed hot/cold shower with an enclosed changing area. After a day at the beach, this is a stop that shouldn't be missed.

At the front of the lower level, the door opens to the foyer, with french doors left and right leading to identical master bedrooms. Each has a king bed, a full bath, a large walk-in closet, a TV and Roku. Each is perfect for a quiet retreat after a busy day or simply for a quiet night's sleep. Beyond the foyer, though another set of french doors, is a large 20' X 14' living area with 52' LCD SONY TV and Roku. A third bedroom has a queen bed, double closet and a Smart TV. A fourth bedroom has 2 twin beds, a double closet and a TV and DVD player. These two bedrooms share a tiled bath across from which is the laundry area with a washer and new dryer. The cabinets include cleaning products and light bulbs.
Blankets and extra pillows are provided in each bedroom.

One of the main attractions is the upper level with its open floor plan. Vacations are for gatherings and conversations and laughs and this allows everyone to share some time together. At the top of the stairs is a dining table that seats eight. Across the room is a very well-equipped kitchen and pantry separated from the 8 seat square dining table by a breakfast bar and eight bar chairs. For those who have been guests before, you will recognize this as the site of our annual 'pancake eating contest'.
The kitchen has a Keirug and Mr. Coffee maker, crock pot, large pot for low country boil, many serving dishes and lots of utensils and cookware, electric grill pan, blender, and old-fashioned milkshake blender, toaster oven with air fryer, waffle iron, electric mixer, tea kettle, spices and herbs, mini fridge in the pantry, placemats, microwave, and a double oven.

In the front of the room is a sitting area with sofa and chairs that surround a tiled fireplace with gas logs (it is not useable), a 47' LCD SONY TV and Roku. Surround-sound stereophonic equipment with iPhone connection completes the set-up. On the front, sliding glass doors open onto a covered deck with porch furniture. It is from here that the spectacular views of sunrises and sunsets and the sweeping picture of ocean and inlet makes this one of my favorite spots.

Another set of sliding glass doors open onto the back covered deck, also equipped with porch furniture. This is a particularly quit spot, protected from the ocean breeze, with views of the sound. We have taken advantage of this for a number of quiet, relaxing 'dinners under the stars'. Each deck is equipped with a table with 4 surrounding chairs for outside dining.
There is a choice of access to the beaches. Go left to the walkway that will take you over the dunes or go right to the broad expanse of 'The Point'. Either way, you have open space enough for picnics, games and even a touch of solitude.



Keywords: Second row house; corner lot, four quiet bedrooms on 1st floor with central family den, spacious well-equipped kitchen and dining area on 2nd floor with open floor plan for great vacation get-together.

My family has been staying at Emerald Isle for years and has returned to Finnish Line for several years now. The Point neighborhood is great and the house is within walking distance of several access points to the beach. The house always seems to have something new each year when we return and the owners and management team are very responsive.

This property couldn’t have been more perfect for two families to share and host dinners for the rest of the families. The property was clean, well maintained, the location was perfect. Both the owners and the local property management were prompt with any questions and issues. Hopefully we will be back for another reunion.

My family can't say enough about our first stay at The Finnish Line! The house was wonderful in every way. Well stocked kitchen. A top deck balcony that we could have spent all day on enjoying the view. Well maintained. Nicely decorated. We had the most wonderful week at our 1st time in Emerald Isle. Sure hoping we can do it again. Thank you Bill and Patty

We had a wonderful time. The beach at this end is large even at high tide. Even though the weather didn’t cooperate, we were able to get outside. There is a wonderful path, where I walked everyday, easily accessible for exercise and the men purchased a pass to drive on the beach with all their fishing gear. We are getting older so the unpacking is getting harder bc of the 2 flights of steps necessary to reach the kitchen and living area. The view from the porches is well worth it.

We have been renting the Finnish Line for several years now. This property never disappoints! Location is perfect, great restaurants, lots of activities, and the owners are super easy to deal with. We have recommended friends and family to stay at the Finnish Line and they too have enjoyed it as much as we do. Looking forward to our next stay!!

We had a lovely stay, and will definitely be back! The house is beautiful, so comfortable so nicely decorated-we did not want to leave! We were lucky with a very nice week at the beach, and we are already looking forward to coming back next summer! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and for sharing your beautiful home.

My family and I just wrapped up another great vacation spent at Finnish Line on Emerald Isle. The Finns are great hosts - answering questions when they come up and keeping the house both well stocked and maintained. The beach in this neighborhood is sizable and not crowded. We look forward to returning next year!
