Welcome to Just Enough, a charming 4-bedroom, 4 full-bath, single-level, almost oceanfront retreat in Emerald Isle - where comfort, convenience, and coastal charm come together for the perfect beach getaway.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel right at home. This beautifully decorated house offers a modern yet cozy feel, with tasteful coastal décor and a thoughtfully designed one-level floor plan that makes relaxing and moving about effortless for everyone in your group. The open-concept kitchen and living area set the stage for togetherness. The fully stocked kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, making meal prep a breeze whether you’re cooking a gourmet dinner or a quick beach-day snack. Just steps away, the dining and living areas offer plenty of space to share meals, play games, work on a puzzle, or unwind while watching your favorite shows. This space was truly designed for connection and making memories.

Head out onto the balcony to soak in the salty ocean breeze and take in beautiful ocean views. With a mix of sunlit and covered seating, this outdoor space is perfect for reading, relaxing, or enjoying easy conversation - morning, noon, or sunset. It’s a favorite spot where unforgettable moments are made.

Prefer to slow things down? You’re in luck. Step outside and discover your own private oasis. The private pool invites you to relax poolside with family and friends, while the cabana room provides the perfect shaded hangout. The pool can be heated for an additional fee of $650/week + tax (note: pool heat is unavailable if temperatures fall below 55 degrees). A fully fenced yard makes this home ideal for families and dog lovers alike, and high-speed wireless internet keeps you connected whenever you need it. The beach is just a stone’s throw away, and with your own private pool on-site, you may never need to leave the property at all. Whether you’re seeking adventure or total relaxation, Just Enough offers the perfect balance.

After a full day of sun, sand, and seaside fun, retreat to one of the thoughtfully designed bedrooms, each offering its own cozy escape while remaining conveniently close to the heart of the home. Best of all, all bedrooms are located on the same level as the main living area, offering the perfect balance of privacy and togetherness so no one ever feels far from the fun, connection, and coastal memories waiting to be made.

Bedroom #1 is a luxurious King Master Suite that truly feels like a private sanctuary. Complete with its own private bath, a TV for winding down, and direct balcony access, this room is perfect for enjoying quiet mornings or peaceful evenings with a coastal breeze - without being far from the main living spaces.

Bedroom #2 features a comfortable Queen bed, a private bath, and its own TV. With direct deck access, this room offers an inviting blend of comfort and convenience - ideal for stepping outside to enjoy fresh ocean air at any time of day.

Bedroom #3 is another beautifully appointed Queen bedroom with a private bath and TV. While it doesn’t have deck access, it more than makes up for it with its warm, welcoming décor and restful atmosphere - perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach.

Bedroom #4 offers a charming and flexible sleeping option with a Twin Daybed and Twin Trundle, making it ideal for kids or additional guests. This room includes its own TV and enjoys easy access to a full shared bathroom just across the hall.

Beyond the home itself, Just Enough boasts a fantastic location. Just over 6 miles from the heart of Emerald Isle, you’re close to grocery stores, local restaurants, shopping, mini golf, go-karts, and the Salty Pirate Water Park. Venture about 10 miles off the island and you’ll reach Swansboro, the “friendly city by the sea,” known for its charming waterfront, boutique shopping, and local dining. Head the other direction to explore Pine Knoll Shores and its popular aquarium, Atlantic Beach’s vibrant scene, or even historic Beaufort and Fort Macon for a day of adventure!

True to its name, this home is just enough to create a memorable, stress-free beach vacation you’ll want to return to year after year.

The house was wonderful. Great fenced yard with private pool. Great deck space. One minute walk to the beach. Would definitely rent again!

This home was far more than "Just Enough"! It greatly exceeded our expectations. Clean, fresh smelling, very spacious and just gorgeous. The owners obviously take great pride and expense in maintaining the home, grounds and decor. The grounds were beautiful with live flowers, succulents everywhere. Both inside and out. Pool was beautiful and clean. You must walk around corner or be dropped off at beach area. No direct access from front of home at street. Less than 10 minute walk But we will definitely stay again. Wish I could share my photos of the greenery and plants and deck.

We enjoyed the entire house but the deck was a dream come true. Part covered and part in the sun. We did not want to leave.

This was my 2nd time renting Just Enough and I plan on renting it every year. It's so relaxing, clean and really beautifully decorated. I invited my parents on this trip and they have already booked the house for 2 weeks in October.

Just Enough is a beautiful home! The deck and pool area is wonderful. The back of the property is fully fenced, making it safe for children and pets. The home was beautifully furnished and had all of the kitchen goods necessary for staying in for dinner. This was our second stay at this property. We love it and will visit again.

This house is absolutely awesome! It was the cleanest vacation rental we have ever stayed at. The house had everything you could possibly want and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was fully stocked and the appliances were great. The pool area was AWESOME too! Our dog LOVED this house just as much. Which means a lot to us because Laydee travels with us every year. The back porch was very relaxing as well. We had many different seating areas to pick from and the plants and the view were just beautiful! The owners really planned out this beautiful house with the comfort of others in mind. There's so much more to say about Just Enough...It's more then enough! We LOVED it and I'm sure you will too!

Home was beautiful, really loved the two level porch facing the ocean! Only drawback was the driveway. Very difficult if you have more than two cars using it.

We loved our stay at Just Enough! The location was great and it was a perfect fit for our dog to be able to go in the fenced in back yard!!! We did not get to enjoy the pool due to it being a little cool in March, however we made perfect use of the deck and the beach! Our ONLY issue was that the beds were too hard and made for sleeping comfortably a challenge. Great job on the renovation.. it is beautiful!!!

Beautiful property! Deck and pool area are perfect, great for children and pets and it is completely fenced in. Close location to the beach, disappointed the walkway was closed. Wifi connection did not work 50% of the time. Please have the property sprayed for insects!

Overall great property for the family that needs the room. 4 beds / 4 baths worked great for my family of 8. Only a block from the beach with some ocean views and with a pool was the best of all worlds for our family. Newer property so still needs some of the kinks worked out, but a great value for what you get. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone with large family.

Great rental property that has been beautifully renovated and landscaped. We really enjoyed having a one level house, pet-friendly, covered and open deck, bathroom for each bedroom, private pool and fenced yard! We loved having the open storage space under the house for all of our beach gear and bikes. One of the only negatives was maneuvering multiple large vehicles in the driveway.
