Close Enough in Emerald Isle, NC

Welcome to "Close Enough," your sweet bungalow retreat just over the Emerald Isle bridge, perfectly situated between the ocean and the sound. Tucked away from the road and nestled among the trees, this charming home with sandy-colored siding and turquoise shutters invites you in through sliding glass doors into a spacious, open living area. Choose from the back or front porch to relax, enjoying the salt air and cool breezes. Sip your morning coffee, toast with wine at night, or simply unwind in this serene setting.

The bungalow offers three inviting bedrooms, each with a queen bed, making it perfect for friends, family, and guests. Embrace the walkability of this location—take a stroll along the sand or enjoy a swim in the sea. Spend your days building sandcastles and your evenings dining at local restaurants, or opt for a cookout on the grill while watching the stars. Nearby shopping and activities, such as boating, fishing, ferry cruises, and water slides, ensure endless fun. This is the Crystal Coast vacation you’ve been dreaming of!

Clean and Comfortable
Close enough was a clean, comfortable, roomy home. It was an easy walk to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet without a lot of traffic. The best part is that our dogs were able to join our family vacation. We had a great time. I was sad to leave.
