“It takes a lot to blow me away, but for real, this house BLEW ME AWAY. Everything about the house is quality.” – Amy Y.

Settle into Surf + Soul—your laid-back seaside retreat designed for connection, movement, and rest. Start the day in the garage gym, unwind between the pool, spa and cold plunge, or explore the island by bike or golf cart. From sunrise coffee on the deck to evenings by the fire table, this is a place to slow down, recharge and make lasting memories together.

— ABOUT THE SPACE —

Welcome to Surf + Soul — a luxury coastal retreat where adventure, restoration, and togetherness meet, just 950 feet from the Atlantic on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast. With 4 bedrooms, 3 en-suites, 2 living spaces, a vast upper floor deck, an indoor gym, and a fabulous outdoor area with private pool and spa, there’s plenty of room to gather your favorite people and 4-legged friends for a vacation you won’t forget.

“A gorgeous and well appointed home in the best location. Our family enjoyed a weekend of catching up by the pool and hanging out at this amazing house. Quick walk to the beach.” - Rasheeda B

• Upper deck with daybed, fire table & sunset views
• Screened porch with dining for 8 & hanging chairs
• Open-concept living, dining & kitchen
• Shuffleboard table & 65” Roku Smart TV
• Gas fireplace & designer seating

The stairs by the side of the house lead you straight up to the deck - one of many fabulous hangout spaces at Surf + Soul! Take a book and curl up on the shaded daybed, start your morning with your favorite yoga routine, and spend evenings chatting by the fire as the sun sets in front of the house.

The deck leads you to the screened porch with an 8-seat dining table and 2 hanging chairs - just walk right out from the kitchen and sit back with that first cup of coffee in the morning.

Inside, you enter the open main living space – a bright, welcoming space designed for connection. The living room has a large sectional, a 65” Roku Smart TV, a fireplace, and a shuffleboard - a perfect place to catch up with loved ones.

The dining table seats 8 people, and the large kitchen island has 4 additional bar seats. The fully stocked kitchen makes home cooking easy with high-end appliances, an induction cooktop, and ceramic Caraway cookware for clean, easy cooking. Plus, the open layout allows for the chefs in the group to socialize while preparing meals! Your four-legged family members are welcome here too - we have dog food bowls, an extra leash, and some toys for your pup.

The hallway leads you to the three upstairs bedrooms. All bedrooms at Surf + Soul have a Roku Smart TV and bedside charging stations and come with complimentary bath products. Be sure to stop at the Emerald Isle Bucket List and see how many boxes you can check off by the end of your stay! A laundry closet with washer and dryer is also tucked along the hallway for added convenience.

Down the hallway, you will find the Shoreline King Suite and the Saltwater + Sunsets Queen Suite, both with full en-suite bathrooms and gorgeous walk-in, tiled showers with luxury fixtures. At the back of the hallway is the expansive Oyster King Suite complete with an office area, full bathroom with double vanity, and private balcony overlooking the pool area.

This level is also home to the Seashell Queen Suite, a spacious fourth bedroom with two queen beds, ideal for kids, another couple, or guests who appreciate a little extra privacy. Just outside the suite is an adjacent full bath with a tiled shower/tub combo and upscale fixtures, offering the same thoughtful comfort found throughout the home.

If movement is part of your ideal getaway, head into the garage gym for a workout. This is not your typical rental gym — it’s a thoughtfully outfitted training space for everything from strength work to conditioning or a quick sweat before the beach. And when you’re done, recovery is just steps away. The gym includes free weights and kettle bells, an exercise bike, a rowing machine, an extra fridge for easy access to cold drinks and a TV so you can put on your favorite online workout class!

Step outside the sliding doors from the lounge and settle into your own backyard oasis. Move between the pool, spa, and cold plunge, or relax in the shade after rinsing off in the outdoor shower. You can even draw the curtains for extra shade, creating a true luxury spa feel. Whether it’s a casual cookout on the grill or a slow afternoon in the sun, this space is designed to help you unwind.

And when you’re ready to trade relaxation for a little adventure, we’ve stocked Surf + Soul with thoughtful gear to help you make the most of island life:

• Golf cart
• 4 Jamis beach cruiser adult bikes
• Paddleboards & longboard
• Shibumi shade & chairs, beach cart
• Cornhole boards

Cruise to the beach, paddle calm waters, catch a wave, or challenge the family to a cornhole tournament — the fun is built in.

As the day winds down, head to the front deck for sunset views, gather around the fire table, or curl up in a swing chair with a good book.

Surf + Soul was created to be more than just a place to stay — it’s a place to reconnect, recharge, and make lasting memories. Whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, everything you need is already waiting for you.
