About this property

Ocean Front Emerald Isle - Pine knoll Shores - PET FRIENDLY

Enjoy the most beautiful beach on the East Coast from this serene light-filled oceanfront home. The clean design and wonderful open floor plan make it the perfect place to bring family and friends, with the Atlantic Ocean as your front yard. Due to the unusual orientation of Bogue Bank, you can watch the sun rise AND set from the dramatic deck of this midcentury modern house.
Simple pleasures for all ages abound: long morning walks, body surfing, world class shell collecting, watching porpoises play from the deck, sunbathing and just getting lost in a good book. Food even tastes better at this location! Serve up a casual seafood supper on the breezy screened porch as the sun begins to set.
NEW OUTDOOR- PRIVATE HOT-COLD SHOWER that is a MUST experience!
Three comfortable bedrooms and two baths on the main floor, including a bright and spacious oceanfront master suite. The lower level with direct beach access offers an additional king bedroom, bath and a large bunk room to sleep 6, perfect for cousins or single guests. This is accessed from the indoor steps from the great room.
There are only ten steps to the beach from the lower level.
The home is located in a sleepy beachside community. The nearest major attraction is the wonderful North Carolina Aquarium less than five minutes away. Enjoyable restaurants are within a ten-minute drive.
This midcentury modern home was built in the late 1970's and has remained in our family. It has been enjoyed by four generations.
The views are incredible. All but one bedroom, have oceanfront views.
If your group is 'all about the beach,' this is the house for you.

Spring stay with pooches.
Heckman House and in particular the owner were wonderful. The house was clean, with plenty of towels (for shower), beds made up with linens. Stayed in the master bedroom which had views of the ocean from the windows and picture window in the master bath. Bed was comfortable and it was soothing to hear the waves at night! Kitchen well stocked with plates, pots, pans, cutlery, etc. There are wine glasses, wine opener, a small shaker and blender. Great beach access—literally on the beach with a walkway from the lower level and steps from the upper deck. The flowering bushes had a lovely fragrance but do need to be trimmed as they were encroaching on the beach walkway but did not impede access (if tall you needed to duck a bit). The upper deck and screened porch were perfect! The deck is gated so we could let our dogs hang on the deck without worry! There is also a grassy area at the bottom of the driveway which works well for “potty-ing” the pups. Beautiful ocean view from the deck and living areas. Plenty of games, cards, beach chairs, etc. Monica, the owner was super responsive to emails via VRBO-as we had many questions during the process. Additionally, upon arrival we found that the grills weren’t in great shape and there was no propane for the gas grill. Emailed Monica the following morning; she answered within the hour and by early afternoon we had a new Weber charcoal grill! Thank you for sharing your lovely home, allowing pets and being very responsive and helpful!!!

Top 5 Beach Memory
Monica’s place is simply perfect. We have two big dogs and one dog has cancer and we wanted to bring him to the ocean. He is a tripod. Monica is very gracious to allow us to stay. Her house is perfect and reminds me of mine where I grew up in FL. Thanks, Monica!

About the host

Hosted by Monica Heckman

Host profile image
Our family has created many happy memories here on the most beautiful beach in the country. This very special home has been the perfect place to celebrate retirement, new babies, family reunions, Easter, Thanksgiving and even a Spring wedding. We still vacation as an extended family every year. As the family grows, we fill every inch of this home with laughs and good times.
The home was designed for private spaces. You can get away from the activity and enjoy a spot on your own, be it on the hammock, or just in your quiet bedroom.

Why they chose this property

Quiet, restful, natural location where the ocean is front and center. You will definitely have your place of solitude and privacy on this near-empty stretch of beach. You just don't find this type of beach anymore.
The furniture and decor has been updated recently We recently added an outdoor,
hot-cold private shower and access to a volleyball setup stored in the garage.
Very Comfortable!
