The Finnish Line: On The Point! Walk to Beach, Perfect Family Retreat

Sunday to Sunday check in during the summer. The Finnish Line is a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home at the premier Emerald Isle location of The Point! Enjoy the sunset and sunrise views of the ocean to the south, the inlet to the west, and the sound to the north. This is a home made for family fun with a huge well-stocked kitchen, 2 living rooms both with views, a front porch with opposing porch swings, another front porch on the third floor with a comfortable lounge, and a rear deck with outdoor dining and porch chairs. All of the decks have a view of the evening sunset. There is a grill on the rear patio as well as an outdoor shower with private changing room.

The double carport on the ground level is deep enough to accommodate four cars and the backyard has room to play - kick a ball, play catch, throw a frisbee - it's a lovely space with porch and patio seating for those who prefer to watch.

As you enter the house on the second floor, the door opens to the foyer, with french doors left and right leading to identical master bedrooms, each with a king bed, a full bath, a large walk-in closet, a TV and Roku. Each is perfect for a quiet retreat after a busy day or simply for a quiet night's sleep. Beyond the foyer, though another set of french doors, is a large 20' X 14' living area with 52' LCD SONY TV and Roku. A third bedroom has a queen bed, double closet and a Smart TV. A fourth bedroom has 2 twin beds (which can be pushed together to make a king), a double closet and a TV and DVD player. These two bedrooms share a tiled bath across from which is the laundry area with a washer and new dryer. The cabinets include cleaning products and light bulbs. Blankets and extra pillows are provided in each bedroom, including king sheets for the two twins.

The main living area is on the third floor, with the best views. There is a large comfortable living room, a huge, well-stocked kitchen, and dining table that seats 8 and bar seating for 8 for those who like to talk to the cooks at work. The kitchen has a Keirug and Mr. Coffee maker, crock pot, large pot for low country boil, many serving dishes and lots of utensils and cookware, electric grill pan, blender, and old-fashioned milkshake blender, toaster oven with air fryer, waffle iron, electric mixer, tea kettle, spices and herbs, mini fridge in the pantry, placemats, microwave, and a double oven.

There is a choice of access to the beaches. Go left to the walkway that will take you over the dunes or go right to the broad expanse of 'The Point'. Either way is less than a tenth of a mile. Both beaches will give you open space enough for picnics, games and even a touch of solitude.
