Welcome to Best Life. See our 100+ five star reviews on VRBO over 10 years. Most of our bookings are return guests - that tells you everything you need to know.
This is a very clean, well maintained and fully furnished OCEAN FRONT home - not a condo - in beautiful Emerald Isle, NC. It has a full-on ocean view from the deck, bedrooms and the living room, not partial views and not over the street or rooftops. It is the private half of a duplex. The other side of the duplex is not a rental;it is someone's rarely used second home, so you will not have any crazy or noisy neighbors, parties or big groups next door.
The kitchen and baths were recently completely renovated; see photos. You''re likely to see dolphins frolicking in the ocean. Unlike staying in a condo complex, you'll have privacy and no worries about noise, sharing the deck or annoying neighbors. No dogs. Perfect for families with children. The house is close to a lifeguard station on the beach.
There is a gentle set of stairs from deck to beach, not the 50 or 60 steps at some places. The living room furniture is new in 2026.
The house has everything you'll need and the kitchen is fully equipped (even a spare blender, coffee maker & toaster). There is a Kuerig coffee machine with pot and pod capability. We provide starter supplies upon your arrival (soap, paper towels, t.p.). All of the bedding in the house is newer premium gel memory foam 12 mattresses with thick zippered bed-sacks.
This house is an excellent value and has everything you'll need for a restful stress-free vacation at the beach. The manager is local and the owner is always available. Note the built-in benches on the deck near the ocean. The bathrooms have gorgeous tile - not cheap fiberglass. The sliding doors are new, quiet, easy to use and locking Pella units. As you can see from all of our photos, we strive to make this a comfortable and tastefully 'beachy' home. Among the features of this property are Spectrum cable, STRONG wireless internet (to the deck +), newer central air unit, ceiling fans in every room, 4 flat-screen HD-TV's (55 in living room and 40 in 3 bedrooms with Roku access to premium channels), and custom hand-painted tropical murals in each bedroom. It's NOT cheap thin, uncomfortable rattan / boxy / IKEA furniture, nor is it used furniture from Grandma's house. We want you to relax and be comfortable! Call owner AL directly at nine seven three four seven six eight one nine one with any questions.

There are 2 ocean-front master bedrooms (1 K & 1 Q) and 2 bedrooms street side (partial Intercoastal / Sound view) with doubles and singles. There are 2 full tiled baths and a wonderful outdoor enclosed over-sized locking private shower that was renovated in 2024 with hot and cold water and a dressing area. (Great for children or a quick refreshing rinse after coming off the beach.) The deck has a convenient hose for sandy feet.
There are lifeguards on the beach within sight just a short stroll away (April - Sept.). This house is ON THE BEACH with the same ocean, views, and ease of access as the mansions that cost 3 or 4 times as much. We provide beach chairs, beach umbrella, and beach toys. We appreciate your inquiry for any questions and thank you for your time and for considering Best Life! E-mail or call if you have any questions or need any additional information. Best wishes for a great Emerald Isle vacation!

    My family and I had a wonderful week at Alan‘s place! The proximity to the beach can’t be beat. The house was well supplied with beach chairs and toys. I remembered at the last minute to ask about whether or not linens were supplied, and they were not., So be prepared to either rent your linens or bring your own, which is a bit of a hassle when going to the beach kitchen was also well supplied with pots, pans, dishes, etc..

    We loved the house and the location. Beach was truly only a few steps away from the patio. Rooms were spacious with lots of storage space, beds were comfortable and kitchen and dining area were much bigger than they appear in the pictures. We had 4 adults and 2 children and it never felt crowded. Cabinets were stocked with tons of dishes and cutlery, we found everything we needed to cook multiple times a day. We used the charcoal grill a few times too. House had plenty of beach chairs and kids beach toys too. We loved the clothes lines outside, we used them every night for the towels and the swim suits. We liked the location, the beach never felt crowded. It felt like we had a private beach all to ourselves. Grocery stores were about 15 minute drive away (Food Lion is much cheaper than Publix). We liked the Circle pizza for a quick dinner our first night. And we highly recommend the Rucker John's restaurant, it was reasonably priced and the food was amazing. Dollar General is very close if you need anything quickly. My kids enjoyed evening walks to the DG to get some ice cream bars.Over all, we loved our stay at the house and the owner was very easy to communicate with. He had checked in with us few times and responded promptly to my emails. We would definitely rent this house again.

    Everything was perfect and exactly as advertised. We were all very happy with our stay.Cleaning was immaculate and Brazelton linen and cleaning provided linens and towels. We paid for them in advance and everything was there when we arrived.Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay for a week at a reasonable price. Walk off the deck onto the sand.You won’t find a better place to stay.

    This was our first trip to EI and could not have been more pleased with our accommodations and host! Loved the house and the location in reference to the beach. We were able to walk straight to the beach from the back door. Restaurants and groceries were within a 10-25 minute drive.

    We had a lovely time! The house was perfect for our family of 7 and it truly was oceanfront! It was the shortest walk to the beach we’ve ever had. House is located in a safe location with plenty of area to walk or run. The bedrooms were great and the living room and dining area had plenty of seating. Not having to pack chairs for the beach was the ultimate treat!!

    This was our first vacation to Emerald Isle and we loved it! Alan’s home is close enough to restaurants and shops, but far enough away to enjoy some peace and tranquility. The house is steps away from the beach and has everything you could need. Alan is also an amazing owner who responded so quickly to any questions I had. Our family would highly recommend!
