SEMI-OCEANFRONT Rodanthe — Blue Sea Rd. — Finding that jewel of a vacation getaway takes patience, but when you come upon EMERALD POINT, the effort is well worth it. With the Mirlo Beach boardwalk access next to the house, you are steps away from the Atlantic ocean as well as the Pamlico Sound within walking distance and provides a stunningly serene backdrop, it’s clear that this home is a true treasure.

As soon as you pull up to this seven-bedroom/five- and two-half-bath beauty, you’ll feel yourself melt into the peaceful surroundings. Let the ocean waves lull you into a good nap next to the heated saltwater pool or as you enjoy a soothing soak in the 6-person hot tub. A gas grill and a poolside bar you can stock with your favorite refreshments make it easy to quench both hunger and thirst without having to venture inside. But when you do, there’s a kitchenette and game room on the first level, featuring arcade and board games, puzzles, a card table, and DVD library. The laundry room is also located on this level as are two of the home’s bedrooms: a room with a queen bed and one with two single beds that share a full hallway bath.

Sit back and relax on the second level in the media room featuring a Smart TV and access to a covered deck. Also on this level are four more bedrooms including a king master with a full bath and access to the front deck; a king master with access to the back deck; and two queen bedrooms that share a bath. The final bedroom, a king master with access to an ocean-facing deck, is on the top level and features a bath with a two-person shower, dual vanity sink, and walk-in closet. All the bedrooms include ceiling fans and Smart TVs.

On the top level, accessible by the home’s all-floor elevator, sunlight streams through sea-themed stained-glass windows illuminating an open and airy great room. The sunny living area features comfortable furniture, a massive Smart TV and tasteful décor. Enjoy preparing your favorite vacation meals in the spacious kitchen featuring dual dishwashers, ovens, and sinks; a coffee maker; and icemaker, and then linger over them at the four-stool breakfast counter, around an eight-seat dining table and another table that seats four. Gorgeous 180-degree views highlighted by sound sunsets and clear, starry nights will draw you out to the home’s multiple decks to enjoy the majesty of it all as the evening winds down.
