What's my home worth? →About this home
Oceanfront living in the highly sought-after Ocean Reef community of Emerald Isle. This front-row condo sits just steps from the beach, offering the kind of easy coastal access that defines why people fall in love with the island. Completely renovated down to the studs in 2022, the interior was rebuilt with thoughtful attention to functionality style. Electrical, drywall, finishes, and systems were all replaced, creating a truly turn-key property. The open living area is filled with natural light and framed by ocean views, while the updated kitchen and living space flow seamlessly to the deck for effortless indoor-outdoor living. HVAC and water heater were replaced in 2022, and impact-rated windows and the rear sliding door were replaced in 2025 for added efficiency and storm protection. A rare feature for oceanfront condos, the property includes a full garage with a separate restroom and outdoor shower on the ground level, ideal for rinsing off after the beach and keeping sand out of the living space. Whether used as a primary getaway, second home, or investment, the layout supports comfortable everyday use as well as guest turnover. Located in Ocean Reef, known for its direct beach access and strong rental demand, this unit has a successful short-term rental history and offers immediate income potential along with personal enjoyment. Turn-key oceanfront properties with recent full renovations are uncommon. This one delivers location, condition, and usability in one of Emerald Isle's most desirable oceanfront settings.
