Welcome to Beach Retreat West. This 2nd row duplex has it all. Appreciate great ocean and sound vistas without the oceanfront rental prices. This home is in superb condition, with over 2000 sq. feet of living space. View the ocean or sound from every single room in the home. Walk out onto the decks, and the ocean vistas will take your breath away. I promise, once you have been here for a week, or two, you will never want to leave.

You will wake up in the mornings, walk out onto the decks, and gaze out over the striking Crystal Coast. Take a deep breath and you will smell Emerald Isle's salty air. This home has four bedroom, with queen beds (all with deck/balcony access), a kids' loft/entertainment area (four twin beds), with TV/VCR/DVD. There is also a enormous collection of books, movies, games, puzzles, and a stereo system all there for your enjoyment.

Cook all your favorite foods in the entirely outfitted kitchen, while you look out the window at the ocean. Dine in and entertain in the huge, open living/ dining room. Watch t.v on the flat screen TV, while calming on the couch.

Step out on the deck the take in the handsome vistas of the beach from both directions. If you watch carefully, you may even catch a glimpse of dolphin swimming by. If the sun gets too hot for you on top, walk downstairs, where you can savor a covered deck that provides tons of shade.

One of my favorite amenities with this home is the beach access. There is a wooden walkway directly across the street that leads you straight to the beach. This is extremely important if you are like me, with five kids and it seems like you bring everything but the kitchen sink with you. We always have so much to carry back and forth, that having the convenience of the beach access is priceless.

Finally, after a fun-filled day on the beach, put the kids to bed and walk back out onto the deck. Sit back and look at the moon as it shines over the ocean. This view will just put an exclamation point on your day. Get a good nighttime sleep and get ready to do it all over again tomorrow.

I hope after reading this, you are excited about visiting with us. We look forward to making our 'Little Piece of Heaven', heaven for you and your family too. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions, comments or concerns that you might have.
