1509 Ocean Drive West

About this home

The Atlantic doesn't knock politely at 2 Seas the Day West. It's right there, every morning, rolling in past a wall of windows that make sure you never miss a wave from the living room, the kitchen, or the bedrooms. This direct oceanfront home on one of Emerald Isle's best stretches of Ocean Drive is deeded as a townhome (the west half of an oceanfront duplex-style structure), and it has been kept in the kind of shape that makes a buyer's inspector go quiet. Four bedrooms, three full baths and a half bath, and a punch list that's already been checked off by someone else. Brand new HVAC and condenser this year. A new roof in 2019. A new deck, hot water heater, and washer/dryer in 2021. Fresh paint inside and out in 2022 and 2023. New front door and four new toilets in 2025. New king mattresses, crisp bedding, a new dining table, tile backsplash, new windows above the main-level sliders, and outdoor furniture built to shrug off salt air. This isn't a listing that needs a renovation budget. It needs a closing date. Step onto the expansive deck and watch dolphins work the break before your coffee's even cooled. The floor plan puts that view to work everywhere it can: two bedrooms and a full and half bath on the first level, and two primary suites upstairs, each with a king bed and its own private ensuite bath. The kitchen is fully equipped, the TVs are flat panel, the laundry is inside, and the outdoor shower runs both hot and cold for the sandy-feet crowd. Numbers matter here too. Managed by Bluewater Vacation Rentals, this property has averaged around $65,000 a year in gross rental income, with the current season still active and building on that figure. Full rental statements are available in the documents section for buyers who like to see their homework done for them. Guests have rated it 4.9 out of 5 across a dozen reviews, and the same three things keep coming up: the ocean view from the balcony, how easy the beach access is, and how well the home is stocked and maintained. Sold fully furnished as shown. A separate legal unit from the east side, sold and taxed on its own. This stretch of direct oceanfront doesn't sit on the market long, and a home this ready for its next chapter usually sits even less. East & West owners share annual liability insurance of $300/yr+- (only shared HOA expense). Appointment required for all showings, coordinated around active rental bookings. Buyer to verify all information deemed important.
