5307 Ocean Dr Unit East, Emerald Isle, NC, 28594

Perched on a highly elevated homesite with a strong, protective dune line, Great Escape East delivers the kind of wide-open Atlantic views that define Emerald Isle living. From the third-level great room—whose soaring ceilings and fireplace anchor family gatherings—you step out to decks that look directly over the beach. Oceanside windows and sliding doors were replaced in 2024, so those vistas feel immediate and intact.

This three-story townhome is set up for flexible coastal life: four bedrooms, three full baths, a half bath, and a versatile ground-floor bonus room. The one-car garage has been thoughtfully converted into a lively game room, perfect for rainy days or post-beach hangouts. Practical, recent upgrades give the next owner peace of mind: new decks and vinyl handrails (2026), roof and great room paint (2025), stair carpeting (2022), remodeled primary bath (2021), and tile flooring in all bedrooms (2020). Offered fully furnished, the property is turnkey for owners, second-home families, or investors.

Beyond the finishes, Great Escape East is a proven short-term rental performer: the unit generated over $60,000 in bookings in 2025 and already shows $53,000 booked for 2026 despite significant owner use and blocked dates. That documented rental history, combined with turnkey furnishing and coastal location, makes the home an attractive asset for buyers seeking both lifestyle and revenue.

Life here is about salt air, big sky, and effortless access to the shore. The bright, open third level becomes a natural gathering place for sunset dinners and weekend crowds, while private bedroom suites offer restful separation. The flexible layout means ample space for family weeks, multi-generational stays, or maximizing rental occupancy. With a list price of $1,395,000 and a strong record of bookings, Great Escape East is an exceptional opportunity to own one of Emerald Isle’s sought-after oceanfront townhomes.

Emerald Isle, on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast, is defined by broad beaches, family-oriented seashore living, and a steady stream of seasonal recreation. The community attracts buyers looking for relaxed coastal days, watersports, and a small-town beach vibe. Local merchants, casual dining, and year-round community events support a lifestyle centered on the shore. For owners, Emerald Isle offers both peaceful off-season months and strong summer demand—making it appealing for second-home buyers who also want rental revenue opportunities.
