About this property

Close to Beach Cottage, Huge Deck, Hot Tub, Canal, Kayaks, Clean, and Equipped!

If you're looking for convenience to the beach, water views, direct water access, a hot tub, outdoor shower, and loads privacy in a well-appointed beach home, Angels Landing is your kind of place! And, if you have a well-behaved and clean four-legged friend (or two) who you’d really like to enjoy your vacation with, we’ll allow them, too! Emerald Isle is dog friendly; they’re even allowed on the beach year-round and at nearly all outdoor restaurants! If we approve your dog(s) to stay, our pet fee is $35/night for the first dog and $15/night for a second (the second pet fee will be invoiced separately from your initial VRBO booking). This is much less expensive and much more fun than boarding your best friends!

Our well maintained and loved cottage rests on a one-lane, tree-lined street that dead ends at a court overlooking the beautiful Bogue Sound. The Sound is also partly visible from the cottage's front yard and living room. The cottage's driveway is right off the court and has ample private parking.

Beach fans will love how convenient the sand and warm ocean waters are from Angels Landing. Two different beach access points are a short walk. The beach is such a short distance that it won’t be a problem to dash home for lunch, supplies, and naps, or to head back to the beach in the evening to witness sunsets that will take your breath away (see our pictures for an example). Our south-facing beach has amazing sunsets and boasts warm waters during an extended May through October/November swim season. We provide beach chairs, a beach cart, boogie board, a skim board, and some other beach toys and games to enjoy (like Can Jam, a Frisbee, bocce ball, etc.). And, you'll always have plenty of space to spread out on the beach because there is not public parking where our home's access points are!

When you come home from the beach, you'll enjoy the large outdoor shower that has hot water and views of the Live Oak trees and canal. The separate, large changing area makes for added convenience.

Our home features a huge, 20x25 foot deck that includes a 6-person hot tub! An outdoor dining table is the perfect place for enjoying meals outside, and the soft lighting that we provide creates a great space for continuing the conversation and fun outside after the sun sets. The deck overlooks a back yard that is full of mature, Live Oak trees and a view of a canal and private dock. The deck is completely private -- your neighbors and you won't be looking at each other! The view from the deck also is spectacular on clear nights. Suggestion: turn off the lights and look up at the stars from the deck. The lack of light pollution at this part of the island makes for a spectacular night sky.

The canal out back leads out to Bogue Sound and is extremely peaceful. Our private dock has Adirondack chairs in the shade - perfect for reading a book or simply having a drink while you watch and listen to the birds go about their day. Launch our two kayaks (life vests also provided) from the dock or from a a water's edge spot just down from the dock. The Bogue Sound is known for great fishing, oysters, and other wildlife, and has lots of islands to explore that you can only access via kayak.

The large yard boasts mature Live Oak trees in an undisturbed setting, providing shade, privacy, and a home to native birds. They'll sing as you sip your coffee on the deck or the dock. It is impossible to describe the peace and tranquility of the time spent in this setting or the relaxing feeling of resting in the hammock as a light breeze rustles the tree leaves.

Inside, the well-equipped kitchen includes various gadgets that cooks will love, a full-sized microwave and dishwasher, a Keurig machine, standard coffee maker, toaster, crock pot, blender, air fryer, and other tools of the trade, along with a large collection of spices. Tired of vacation homes with nasty old pots worn out Teflon pans? Not here! We also provide a gas grill with ample gas and grilling utensils. The indoor dining area seats six and overlooks the deck through a large sliding door.

The family room has lots seating so for gathering comfortably. Enjoy conversation, games (we provide many!), the 65-inch QLED HDTV with a subscription to YouTube TV (like cable, but better!) and other streaming services. Enjoy the high-speed, wireless, encrypted internet access powered by a new Wi-Fi 6 router. We also provide a quiet, comfortable desk work space in one of the upstairs bedrooms, should you need to participate in a virtual meeting. Familiar with Sonos? We offer Sonos speakers in various rooms so that you can connect with the Sonos app. Great tunes are a must on vacation!

Angels Landing offers three nice-sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom is on the ground level and features a king bed with a comfortable, high-end hybrid mattress and a large HDTV. The primary bedroom has its own bathroom with a large, low step-in shower and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, the two large bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bathroom with a full tub and shower. The first upstairs room has a queen bed, a large HDTV, and a private walk-in closet. The second upstairs bedroom has a queen bed and a twin bunk bed, plus another HDTV. There's even a second upstairs walk-in closet adjoining the upstairs bath that has games and other toys that you'll be free to enjoy. We don't have old, cheap rental mattresses, either. You'll see many reviewers comment about how comfy the mattresses are.

Bed linens and bath towels are provided, and all beds will be made when you arrive (who wants to arrive at a vacation home and start making beds?!). Ceiling fans in every bedroom provide extra comfort, and we also provide a large selection of pillows of different thicknesses and types from which to choose.

Like to explore, shop, or go out to eat? You’ll love Emerald Isle and how close our home is to all of its great amenities! It’s an ideal beach town with many locally-owned restaurants and seafood markets, shops, grocery stores, a movie theater, massage and nail salons, and other fun places to explore. The island offers a fishing pier, tennis courts, playgrounds, a wide bike path, and an affordable water park that’s perfect for kids. The bridge to the mainland and all it has to offer is only 3 miles from the cottage. We’ll have recommendations and resources for you to read about and access when you arrive and will provide some other useful info ahead of time, after you book. Angels Landing is perfectly located because you get peace and quiet when you want but is also close to the island’s shops and the mainland. You'll also be a convenient drive from lots of nearby towns to explore: Swansboro, Atlantic Beach, Morehead City, and Beaufort (pronounced “Boh-Fert”).

We want you to enjoy our home as much as we do and thank you in advance for considering the cottage and taking care of it with the kind of love that we do. We respond quickly to your questions and requests and our property manager is incredibly kind and lives right down the street (and we love supporting him because he's retired military). The check-in process and staying in a vacation home shouldn't bring additional stress to your life, and we do our absolute best to make sure it won’t!

Quiet home near the water
My husband and I stayed here last minute, and were so pleased to have found this place! Firstly, the owners of the home were so welcoming, helpful with any information we needed, easy to reach. The house had everything we needed, clean towels and sheets, all the necessary kitchen items, plenty of room. The outside area/deck/hot tub was where we spent a lot of our time. It was very relaxing with the shade provided by both the large umbrella as well as the beautiful trees, and the lighting on the deck at night was divine. We decided after the first day, to rent a golf car-highly recommend. Overall, we had a wonderful wonderful experience.

Angels Landing
Overall, this is a nice enough place to stay. King bed very comfortable, not so much for queen in queen bedroom. Return air ducts need cleaned, esp next to tv. We enjoyed the selection of games!. Sectional in living room has seen a lot of wear, as well as swivel chairs. I would say master bedroom needs updated, lip on shower unit with shower curtain does not keep water in, making cloth curtain stained with hard water. Shower head could be replaced also. Not much counter space in kitchen for preparing food, but has plenty of untensils, cookware, etc. Hot tub only used one time, had a strong chlorine odor. House is in a good location as far as beach access. Decorations in house are plentiful & lovely. Oven needs a good cleaning for sure! One other suggestion is to have a retractable line in showers to hang wet bathing suits. Sincerely, Jenny Knopf & family, Ohio. Visited 7/29-8/5/2023

About the host

Hosted by Josh & Meghan

Host profile image
Hi! We're Meghan and Josh, and we live in Towson, Maryland, which is just north of Baltimore, with our three children. We've always dreamed of owning a beach home that's cute, in a quiet and private area, and in a beach town that isn't full of traffic, neon signs, and packed beaches. We found this cottage on Emerald Isle in early 2022 that we fell in love with instantly!
We are happy to share its amazing setting and location with others. We take pride in maintaining our home and making it feel welcome and cozy, which is the way we want it when we stay there ourselves. We pride ourselves on. keeping things updated and clean. We allow dogs because we have a Golden Doodle of our own and always looked for a dog-friendly home for vacation. We couldn't imagine spending a vacation without her, and were always very respectful. We've had a wonderful experience allowing pets in our home. Everyone's been so kind and respectful with them, and we've never had any issue. Our cleaning crew is also top notch.
We hope you'll agree that our cottage is a little slice of Heaven and appreciate the amazing reviews we've received since we started opening our home to guests in May of 2022.

Why they chose this property

It's tucked away on a quiet, one-lane, dead end street with views of the Bogue Sound from the front, yet very close to the beach, thanks to how narrow the island is at this point. It's a short walk to beach access points, and the beaches aren't crowded and feature some of the warmest waters up & down the NC coast. The home's privacy out back is also unique for the beach. Usually, beach rental decks are packed in with other homes and offer very little privacy, or have a lot of road or other kind of noise. But not ours! Angels Landing offers a very private setting that overlooks a back yard that is full of mature Live Oak trees that provide added privacy. Also, the canal access out back is fantastic. A few paddle strokes on a kayak, canoe, or paddle board and you're already out to the Bogue Sound to explore! There are egrets and other birds that enjoy the canal, and enjoying a cup of coffee or a late afternoon drink on the dock is a soul-calming experience. We also hope you'll agree that our home is decorated nicely, is comfy, and makes you feel relaxed!

What makes this property unique

This is a cozy, very private home that is not at all the typical-looking square beach house. Most beach homes have a back deck or yard that isn't very private or shaded, but not Angels Landing! Neighbors won't be seeing you while you're enjoying your vacation on the deck or in the hot tub! We also have other peaceful seating areas to enjoy, even to get away from others in the house. A dock with Adirondack chairs, a front lawn with more seating, where you can enjoy the evenings as the sun lights up the sky over the Bogue Sound. Angels Landing is a very special property in a unique setting.
