The Sailfish - Beautiful Emerald Isle, NC;

The Sailfish is a private beach house for rent in Emerald Isle, NC, at the beginning of the Crystal Shores of the NC Outer Banks. The beaches on Emerald Isle are gorgeous white sand, great for swimming and fishing. No hotels or commercial activity on the beach makes this an unspoiled, family-oriented place to enjoy the beach. We rent the Sailfish only to family groups of up to 14 persons. Our house sits on the 2nd row, right across the street from beachfront. Walk down our walkway and cross the small street to the public beach access right in front of the house. If you want to go clamming in the sound, just walk down our driveway and cross the street in the other direction, to reach the sound.
The Sailfish is fully air conditioned, has two floors, ocean views from each floor, and 7 comfortable bedrooms. Two rooms dedicated to play: the upstairs sunroom with game tables, and the downstairs rec room with ping pong table. Our parents built this lovely large space so that our family could vacation together. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we still do!
Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms and two full baths that interconnect between bedrooms. Two ocean-view bedrooms have 1 queen bed each. Two other bedrooms each have 2 double beds. The large, airy living room has a vaulted ceiling and ceiling fans. Large dining table with seating up to 12 persons. Fully equipped kitchen. Spacious sunroom with two tables, perfect for games, working remotely, or extra seating for dining. We keep an assortment of games, puzzles and books in the sunroom, available for guests to enjoy. Or you can sit on the deck/balcony on the upper floor with a cool drink after a day at the beach.
Downstairs, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. One queen bedroom has ocean view, one bedroom with double bed and desk set-up that is great for working remotely, and one bedroom with 2 twin beds. Also downstairs is our rec room, with full size ping pong table, and sitting area with cable tv. Kitchenette downstairs as well, with full size refrigerator/ freezer (great to have with a large family!), microwave and small dishwasher.
There is plenty of parking for your family in our large gravel parking area behind the house! For more photos and the contract link, see our website:

    Loved that the property feels a bit secluded. Plenty of space for our party. Ping pong table was the star of the house :)

    We had a great trip to the Sailfish. The house was comfortable with lots of room to spread out. Our first day we had a minor problem with the air conditioning and the property managers were quick to respond and take care of the problem. Short walk to the beach. Great place to stay!

    The home was as advertised. It was a large home with seven bedrooms, multiple common areas, and a large parking area. There were views of the beach from the upper level. It was an easy walk along boardwalks (with some stairs for full disclosure) to the ocean.It was a short drive to the grocery store, the restaurant and souvenir shops we utilized, and the aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores.The house was well-stocked with linens, kitchen gear, games, and beach chairs. It provided an excellent base for our family vacation.

    The Sailfish was a great location for our family vacation! Plenty of space for eveyone - to sleep and spread out. The house had all the cooking utensils needed, and we appreciated having the second refrigerator on the lower level. Location was also great - directly across from the beach public access made getting to and from the water really easy. Thanks for a great week!

    Home was in a great location and was very well equipped. Property manager was responsive when we did have an issue with one of the doors.

    We enjoyed another relaxing week at “The Sailfish.” With seven bedrooms, there is plenty of room for our big family. We love how much space there is for our littles to play. We can’t wait to come back next year!

    The house is older but clean and a perfect layout close to the beach. There is plenty of room for a pool which would have been nice or at least usable outdoor space. The rental agent was very easy to work with. All in all it is a nice vacation home for our family of 12 and we had a great time but it went by too fast.

    We had a wonderful week. Our children grew up coming to Emerald Isle every summer for the 4th of July and we are so happy for them to now bring their children to experience this beautiful beach. The Sailfish was perfect for our growing family and we can’t wait to return next summer.

    The house was ok for our stay. We had plenty of room. We felt the furnishings were in poor shape and needed updated. The mattresses need replaced.

    Excellent place for family vacation. Plenty of room and accommodated our group of 4 couples and 6 teenage kids very well. Nothing fancy but super clean and a perfect weekly rental with everything we needed at a reasonable price. Great location with great management.

    It fit our family perfectly. There was plenty for everyone to do whatever they wanted. It was close to the beach. Nice views- plenty of chairs on the deck. The family enjoyed playing ping pong. We had a great time!
