About this house rental

We are "locals" in Emerald Isle, and pleased to host you in our cozy oceanfront home, Sea Star. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a fun gathering place for the family, or an exciting fishing destination, Sea Star is the place to be! This lovely sea cottage features two separate sides for individual families, or you may book both sides for large groups!

Each side sleeps 9 guests in 4 spacious bedrooms, and each side has two full baths, one downstairs and one upstairs. Kitchens have full amenities, and the quaint furnishings & breezy colors bring the essence of the seashore inside! Each side has 3 large flat-screen TVs with Spectrum TV cable and high-speed internet.

In addition to being just steps from the surf, Sea Star boasts million-dollar views from both deck-levels. You will enjoy hours of relaxation on the expansive decks below, and some upstairs bedrooms offer sliding glass doors with a deck, tall viewing chairs and unmatched vistas of the sparkling sands and crystal water. Sip a glass of wine from the upper deck as the sun sets, then create a masterpiece in the kitchen - with freshly-caught local seafood, of course!

This listing is for Sea Star West (VRBO #1145098). Look for availability in Sea Star East (VRBO #1091861) to double your occupancy options at Sea Star, or if Sea Star West is not available for your preferred dates. We also have a full-house listing for Sea Star if you plan a larger family vacation, and would like to book the whole house at one time (VRBO #1193146).

Sea Star is a wonderful properity, with excellent hosts. The location is really incredible, on the beach in 1 minute, great views at night with the multiple decks. It's exactly as described in the posting, very clean, everything you need is there. The owners do a wonderful job communicating before during, and after your stay. We look forward to returning.

We enjoyed our time at Sea Star - everything was as described and in good shape. Location on the beach is terrific, and it's convenient to various island amenities. Beds were comfortable and the 'in case you forgot something" basket in the downstairs bathroom was a nice touch. The owner was very communicative, responded quickly to questions, and provided guests with helpful information about the area.

We had a wonderful time staying in Sea Star West! We loved the private beach access, the kids loved the beach toys that were available to them, the fresh water hose and shower were especially helpful! Beach chairs were also available. We enjoyed meeting the owner and his family who happened to be on the East side! The arrival treat was very welcome and appreciated on the hot day! When we arrived late in the day there were no linens or towels and were to be provided since we were renting for 7 days. We called the owner and with that one phone call we had delivery of them within 20 minutes. The outside deck spaces were ample and seating was plentiful. Unit was well decorated.

The beach house was very clean with a well stocked kitchen. The storage room under the house full of beach toys, chairs, games, and an umbrella was a pleasant surprise. We made good use of the laundry room and grill. Overall a lovely property in a very quiet stretch of EI but still only a quick drive to the restaurants and stores.

This property is clean, spacious, and is steps from the beach. We loved being able to just run back inside to grab something we forgot or step back onto the deck to eat some lunch. The beach itself is not crowded and lovely. The location is convenient - close to any stores you would want. The laundry schedule makes sharing the laundry with the other unit extremely easy. There are tons of toys and chairs and anything you could want in the storage area. There is ample seating and good wifi so when it rained one afternoon, we all had a good time hanging out in the living room. The hosts are extremely kind and gracious. They are very responsive to any questions you might have. There is a checkout list that makes wrapping up your trip a breeze. The only reason we may not return to this property is that the beds were way too firm for anyone in our group. No one slept very well because we are not used to that level of firmness. We ended up putting blankets underneath us to cushion it a bit but it wasn't enough. It seems as though most people in the reviews don't have that problem so if firm beds don't bother you - definitely book this property, it is wonderful!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Emerald Isle and that was largely due to this great property. The house is very clean and well maintained. The oceanfront location is fantastic! Max was great at answering questions and keeping us informed so that all logistics went smoothly. And Max thanks so much for special treat.

I treated my high school aged kids and a few friends to a spring break trip and this was the perfect home! Open living, dining and kitchen gave us plenty of space to move about and still be together. Waking up to unobstructed views of the beach and water was a nice perk. Home was clean and comfortable.

Wonderful to stay on the ocean front!

Everything was great. Had a wonderful time. The only issue was the stairs for our youngest. The house was clean, very well furnished with everything we needed. Plenty of dishes, pots and pans, and silverware for 8 -10 people. A/C and all appliances worked great. We only did a 5 day stay so we brought our own towels and sheets instead of renting which worked out fine. Loved sitting out on the deck or balcony just watching and listening to the ocean. No issues what so ever. A great memorable stay! Thank you!

Loved the Sea Star!

The Sea Star was perfect for our group of 5 who have been friends for over 40 yrs. It was clean, decorated nicely with functional furniture. The upstairs and downstairs decks provided a fabulous view of the beach and ocean, just steps away. There are great restaurants close by and we enjoyed Kathryn’s, Lazzaro’s pizza, Gaffers and Trading Post for breakfast with delicious bloody Mary’s. Our stay was fabulous and we would definitely return for another stay if possible!

Perfect week at the beach - beautiful view of the ocean, well maintained and spacious beach, in a quiet part of the island but just a short drive from everything you need. The house was wonderfully decorated, maintained, and equipped. Had several questions for the host leading up to the trip and it was never more than 15 minutes for a response. Fantastic experience, I'll be coming back next year!

Great Front Row Location

We had a great time at Sea Star. Helen was a very gracious host who provided excellent instructions, helpful suggestions, and timely communication. The location is perfect with lots of good views from the main floor and bedrooms. We also enjoyed the shower and hose off area half way up the boardwalk from the beach where we could hose ourselves and equipment off to keep sand out of the house. The house is cozy and well appointed. A great option for a relaxing beach vacation.

Seating in the living room was a challenge for nine adults, but we were able to bring a few chairs from the bedrooms to make it work. If possible, a great low-cost upgrade would be an ice maker in the freezer. Overall, very happy with the stay.

We enjoyed this beach house so much! It was nice to relax on both decks, listen to the waves, and see the stars! We even saw a planet or two! The home was very comfortable for our family. Very clean and the perfect amount of seating too for a rainy movie day. We asked for restaurant suggestions from the owner and were not disappointed with the recommendations as well! We cooked in a several nights, a good day, movie day, and a trip to the pier. But even with those activities we made it down to the beach every day! So perfect to be ocean front , you can’t beat it !

Perfect Place

Perfect Place

Sea Star West was fabulous! Right on the beach and away from crowds. No need to hurry out to put up your umbrella in the morning - there is plenty of room for all. And how convenient it was to go back and forth for lunch. No sand in our sandwiches. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need including a drip coffee maker. If you don't want to cook indoors there's a charcoal grill outside. The washer and dryer are shared and had a schedule of use which was very helpful. Only less then perfect aspect was the bedding. If you like firm beds you are all set it not bring a mattress topper. And probably your own sheets since the ones fitted ones the linen service provides are really hard to get on. What really makes this place is the property owner. She responded quickly with lots of great information to every question and made our trip extra special!!! We can't wait to go back!
